Hiya! This is random, but my dad works with Russel, your uncle? And he told me that you were out in Australia. I am heading out there myself in Decemeber and will land on th 30th, just in time for New Year! I am coming out with a friend and wondered where you were at the moment. We are looking for places to stay in Sydney but everything is pretty much full or really really pricey! Any help or advice atall? Sammie Heard

Glad things appear back on track. When you find the fella that sold you the loaded dice-thump him. They should turn your trip into a TV series. Cheers. Russell

Hope you're enjoying Oz so far? you need to find a computer I need a blog fix! Baby Howard is still firmly in place and we are still no where near ready. I hear from my 'Shots spy that Ross is still doing very well and was even named as in the div 2 team of the month..... if only I knew what that meant.
I hope you are safe and well and having the time of your life! Take care lovely xx

Jealous. Have a fantastic time. Not very good at this Computing thingy but can read your blogs, messages and check out the photos on my mobile phone.
Take care, Russell.

G'day in Cairns or where ever you are in Australia. Hope the trip to Australia was a good one and that you have adjusted to the changes. Are you on your own now or are you with friends?
I expect the mood is probably quite sombre at the minute with Australia being beaten by Wales in the rugby world cup.....the whole competition has been opened up now so who knows if England can sort themselves out we might surprise ourselves with a few wins!!
Hope all is well. We have just got home from our very wet and windy stay in Cornwall and will be off to Ringwood next week to stay with G and G. We remember Cairns, Port Douglas and Dunk Island with very fond memories, can't believe it was 2000 when we visited. Some first aid tips- if you are stung by jelly fish most of the beaches have containers of vinegar to treat the sting - may smell like a chip shop but it will reduce the pain! Also, wear a hat and long sleeves(needless to say, along with your usual outfit) should you ever go horseriding in the rainforests........the girls were covered in rather large ants when they brushed into low hanging branches as they galloped through!!!
Enjoy your lastest adventure and love from us all.

Hi Dave, how you doing? Good to hear that you have started your journey well and in great style, with hoody?! Flight sounded interesting but have you found that the flight prepared you for the humidity as you had hoped? We're all on holiday at the moment, down in Cornwall enjoying the not so sunny weather and keeping Oliver entertined. Uncle Russ is popping over on Wednesday as well so will be good to see him. Have a fab time in Singapore and watch out for the Chicken Feet!!!!!! Have fun and we are all thinking of you. Lots of love The Blakes xxx
