Aussie
Hi Lucy: I am really enjoying all the installments of your blog and of course all your fun in Australia. Naturally you won't find N.Z. nearly as much fun. Perhaps I am prejudiced!! Les was sorry not to have had a chance for a visit in Melb. but maybe next time??? She has now moved back to Canberra. Good thing you left before the ghastly fires. Have fun in beautiful N.Z. from beautiful Western Canada. love, Joan

Hi Rach, Glad you're having such a goof time. Photos on blog are great. Thought I'd finally catch up with you as Helen is always telling me to! Kate is marrying Mark next year and training to be a ....teacher! God help us. I.ve moved on and am really enjoying the new challenge. Looking forward to reading more of your travels soon Much love Julie
