Well, its probably time for another blog although we're not actually doing a lot of travelling at the moment. Hopefully we're soon going to be moving to Alice Springs to live for a while and at the moment we're catching up with friends and family in the UK while we wait to hear about jobs and visas. We're hoping to be off in a few weeks, and although we're going to have to work in Australia it will still feel very different to our old life working in the UK.

One bit of travelling we did do was with Claire's best mate Jemma up to a cottage in Derbyshire for a few days, catching our first snow in the UK for three years. Travelling around the world its easy to forget about whats on your doorstep, none of us had previously spent much time in the Peak District but all loved it. I've been spending a fair bit of time taking photos around london as well.

So its been good to be home, but it feels like time to be moving on again. Our campervan, Tilly, is being looked after for us by Tony and Val ouitside Melbourne. Hopefully we'll be back in her soon.

The only concrete plan we have is that we have a flat booked in Goa for 6 months from the 1st November. We'll probably spend a few weeks in Ghana first, at a leprosy rehabilitation centre that her mum's friend runs. As soon as we le... full info
