What a Fantastic Year You've Had! New Zealand looks amazing, i bet you're really glad you went there now! I'm so glad you've had a wonderful year, so many amazing experiences and memories to last a life time. I really can't believe that the year has gone by so fast. It only seems like a few weeks ago since we all went out for your leaving do in Liverpool! Really looking forward to seeing you next week, there'll be such a lot to catch up on!
Have a safe journey home Sheila, see you in a few days!
Lots of Love

HI Hiya Catherine
Can't believe you will be coming home next Tuesday!!! How time flies eh? Whilst you've been having loads of adventures we've all been...erm..working!? Anyway, I've really enjoyed the travel blogs. You should be an author, you're brill at writing! Anyway, I was just writing to say looking forward to seeing you again (don't forget to come in and see us!) Also, my son Edd is thinking of doing this trip after Christmas and I wondered if you would like to come out for a drink or something and you can tell him all about it?! (if that's ok?) I bet you can't wait to see your family again :-) Anyway, take care and have a safe journey home. Luv Jacqui (LWH) xx

Glad you are well again and having fun Hi Catherine,
Glad you are feeling up to scratch again, the penguins and kangaroos and midnight movies sound like such fun, and I laughed when you said Harold Bishop is a bit creepy, I can imagine that! Wow, I cant believe your time to come home is fast approaching, it has flown past. Sorry to hear your sad news, but I bet your nan was really proud of you, and wouldve been happy you stuck it out there.
Take care

Happy New Year So glad you had such a Great Christmas, was a bit wierd without you but to be honest think we'd have all rather come to visit you rather than whisk you home for the day! ha,ha Bet you cant wait to get on the road again...told you that the travel bug was very contagious!:o) Have a Great time in 2008 and stay safe, keep in touch, lots of love Jenny xx
Happy New Year Happy New Year.

H lil sis, sorry for not adding comment sooner I have just had another good look at your pics and they do all look fab, as do you...Oz obviously suits you even if it does rain alot (hey it will remind you of home at least) ha,ha. The picture of your wardrobe made me laugh but I remember what a big deal it is to finally be able to unpack your bag!! The flat and your office look great you were really lucky by the sound of things! Keep the blogs coming and stay in touch kidda, love u loads Jen xx ps did you get my parcel? xx
Thank-you! Dear Catherine,
I was so surprised and pleased to get your lovely picture postcard showing the opera house in Sydney to my birthday.
It was such a big joy for me. I put the postcard in a frame and it is now hanging on the wall above my desk next to a picture of my boyfriend Daniel. My mother keeps me informed about your journey and I like to look at all the amazing photos that you send along with your travel blogs. I wish you all the best for the rest of your stay in Australia. Take good care of yourself, maybe we will meet again in Germany one day. Many regards, Leonie
Wow-that definitely beats the view from LWH. Like the walk home too. Does it only rain in Sydney? Good to hear from you - keep it up as great to know what you're up to! Lynne
About time too! Hi Catherine
Was thinking it was about time you did another blog - we need something to cheer up our dull lives here. Looks like you're still having a great time even though you're supposed to working!!!
Look forward to the next blog - they've all been really entertaining and the photos are great
You are not missing anything here!
Bye for now
Lynn
Green-eyed monster! Hi Catherine, sounds like you're having a great time - despite the weather. Wish I had a walk like that to work. Hope the weather improves for you soon and I'm sure Christmas will be amazing.
After a quarter-life crisis I have decided to explore the world a little and take a career break to go on a working holiday in Australia. I have set up this journal so you can all keep up with my adventures and will try to update regularly and add photographs.
To receive updates each time I add a new entry click the subscribe button next to the map of the world. I look forward to reading your comments and emails to keep me updated on life back home (hint, hint - keep in touch!)
