Hey mum... its Saturday night and I dont know if you'll get this message before you leave but im bored and wanted to send you a message so here it is. I had such a relaxing day today, I watched two movies and cooked lasagne and salad for tea (Jared worked) I took Hank for a big walk this afternoon too through the park at Eton and there must be a big pony club meet cause there would have been about 50 horses there. I just sat by the fence and me and Hank watched all the girls jump jumps and stuff. I thought about how if I was 10 years old I would just die of envy today (even as a 24 year old I did a little ha ha) Also on my way back from woolies today I drove past you and dads old house (sorry bad reminder ) but I had time to kill, anyway it looks horrible, all the fences are nearly falling over and theres shit all over the yard and house, its funny how I remember it being so much bigger but I guess that happens when you grow up. I have had two weeks off work and go back on Monday which sucks but im not really dredding it I suppose - plus im out of money so.... any way I hope your ready to come home soon, cant wait to see you... take care mum see you soon k
Hey mum, I was wondering if your homesick yet... I got your message this morning (its Tuesday 26 aug) and you have under a week to go. It feels like you've been gone for ages. Well the weather is a little warmer I think but very windy. I went to football on the weekend and the breeze was like icycles (cant spell that word) my lips were blue. It sounds like youve met some very nice people too which is good to hear, although I dont think anyone could be mean to you. Well time for the Eton report and its been a wild and windy last couple of days which has seen many leaves fall over my lawn, making plenty of raking exercise. I also got out the soaker hose the other day and the lawn is getting greener by the day. The bathroom is still beautiful and Dusty spent his first night outside ( he just didnt come back by the time i went to bed, and well there was no way I would have been able to find him so I slept very little, but he was at the door this morning so he was fine) Hank chewed up a box and a bucket yesterday when I went to get groceries so I bought him a BIG bone and he seems happy now. (bloody dog) I got the bonnet and roof of my car re-painted so it looks like new again and Jared is still enjoing the 5 star meals i make him every night ( I believe tonight were having Italian, rosemary and garlic sausages with seasoned vegies and thick roast meat gravy -gravox ha ha) Well thats the latest and heard it here first ha ha, hope all is good and Ill talk to you soon
see ya mum

Hey mum Hey mum.. well its Tuesday night and I am finanally on holidays, which is why I havent messaged lately. I just spent half an hour reading and looking at all your pictures and I am so jealous. It sounds like your having a ball. Dont stress about buying me anything, just some stockings (black) would be good as I had to throw out a pair the other day. Our bathroom is all done and it look amazing. Jared has done a great job (I didnt realise he was so bloody good ha ha) So today I cleaned the oven and the windows (yes how sad ) but now I can relax and watch some olympics yay. Well betta go Ill try to ring you tonight. Love you mum
Say Hello to Mandy and Mark Hi Louise
I am green with envy. Hope you are having a great time with Mandy and Mark. Say a big hello to them from us. Take lots of photos. It is freezing here. We are actually having a bit of a winter. It's been getting down to 9 degrees very regularly. However, up to the 20s during the day so all is bearable. Love Sharmaine and Derek
It's freezing in the Tropics! Sounds as if you are having a great time Louise, seeing and doing lots. I hope the rain eased so you could enjoy the tattoo. We're having really cold weather here lots of snow down south, someone even said that they had snow at Eungella! We move (again) back down to Dad's place this weekend. Keep having fun, See you soon, Love Francie
edinburgh rains I was just in edinburgh the other day and it was pouring down rain. Funny we were probably there the same time as you. I just joined a travel site baraaza.com where you can review destinations and travel tips and upload photos. It is still in private beta but anyone can join. I think you might like it because you travel so much. Check it out and try to stay dry. =)

Hi Mum!!!! Mum,
Glad to hear that you are having a wonderful time. Don't stress too much about not being in touch with everyone ... no news is good news and if we don't here from you we will just assume you are having too much fun.
Good to hear that you have met some nice people and have a little "team" to hang out with.
All is well here, the weather has been nice. We have caught up with Bridget and Courtney as well at the Wests football last night. Everyone is good and Bridget nearly has a bathroom again!
Take care and enjoy yourself. We will try and ring you soon.
Lots of love,
Ryan, Kristelle and Abby. xoxoxoxo

My name is Louise and I just love to travel. I am about to set off on another big adventure overseas. I live in sunny Queensland, Australia and though I love it here I have keen desire to see the world.
Soon I will be travelling through Europe, visiting 6 countries before I head to the UK. Here I will be trekking throughout England and Scotland for nearly 4 weeks.
I thought it would be fun to set up this blog so all my family and friends can follow me as I travel around.... full info
