Catherine Haslam Hello beautiful! Hope you are having fun in sunny Perth! My best friend Kris (not sure whether you met her on one of your visits to sunny Manchester?) emigrated to Perth at the end of last year. If you email Uncle Dave he'll put you in touch with her so you can meet up. She's a great girl and very friendly...and I'm sure she'd love to meet up with you. Looking forward to catching up with you when you come home and seeing all your fab photos and hearing all your amazing stories! Take care Catherine xxx

marlin hi Bec!! too bad for you that it's cold over there, but you already had some great weather!! it's about 17C here in Dutchy Land, so not really warm eather! But the sun is shining :-) But the good thing about wearing all your clothes is that you don't have to put it al in your bag I'm really glad that you updated your blog, so I can read something else then al those youth problems... have fun!! xx Marlin

Bec Yep its obviously a bad luck family trait or something! Very irritating! Cant belive Piers microwaved his own camera...was he drunk?! :)

Annie K'huh, you're getting as bad as Piers with breaking cameras... pity you don't have the advantage of the Argos accidental damage guarantee - and I bet you've never been as stupid as little P, who managed to break one of his by microwaving it... :-o

Kim Happy Birthday!
