My last day in Perth was one I will never forget. My Uncle Liam and I spent some really great quality time together, his sense of Humour is so much like mine we joked and had a good laugh at the Wildlife Park seeing the Koala, feeding the Kangaroos & had a cuddle with a most impressive Wombat! Sadly Auntie Kala was unable to join us as the walk around the park would have been too much for her. We took a slow scenic rout to the airport where we had some lunch and said our good byes. I felt very sad to leave them both and I promised that I would return. There is no doubt about that I will. Australia is a fantastic Country and there is so much to see. ... read more

Spent most of the early Morning sorting out my blog its not taking too much time but the problem seems to be the speed of the internet connection, it seems so slow to what I am used to. Went to Visit my Cousin Francis who I have met before but the last time was so long ago in Ireland, She tells us that she is very happy and things in her life are sorted now. She has met a new partner and Aborigine called Keith; he is a lovely man we stay for tea and cake and catch up on old times. Typically in true Irish fashion my Uncle Liam has not seen her for some time either so my arriving has made them get together to. We leave after a few hours and travel a ... read more

Friday was a really sunny day and such a pleasant breeze too. This was a day for sitting on the Beach and soaking up the rays. We set off to Mullaloo Beach early in the morning as the sun get so strong later in the day and you need to be in the shade by midday. The Indian Ocean was so warm and great to swim in. I remember swimming in it before, in the Maldives and how it is so much more buoyant than any other sea or ocean I have ever been in. Its something to do with the salt content I am told. After building a few sandcastles and drinking a few coffee’s we set of to Hillary’s Marina for Lunch. I left Janet and the girls on the beach and I went ... read more

Tuesday Jason picked me up from the Airport and drove me around a little so that I could get my bearings. Janet and Jason have beautiful home about 5km north of the City of Perth in a place called Woodvale. They have made me very welcome and I am enjoying their relaxed way of life and love spending some time with their two effervesant little girls Wednesday Had a great day with Cousin Janet Lily and Ellie-Rose. Had to do the thing that all English people find the need to do as soon as they get here, find the Kangaroos. Believe it or not we found some in the cemetery, it was good to get up close and personal and to see them just hopping around just like Skippy did on TV. We then travelled along ... read more

I am sitting in my hotel room in Jo'burg I flew up here today in order to get my connecting flight tomorrow to Singapore, Very sad I had to say goodbye to James earlier; as he went off back to London to go back to work (Whats That?) I guess it will feel a bit strange being on my own now for a while but it wont be for long. I am so excited about getting to Singapore and then onto Australia to see Family. The weather today in Cape Town was not so good can you belive it ? it was grey skies and Raining. but it was still 30 degrees, a bit uncomfortable; so it seemed easy to leave, I had a good flight to Jo'burg it was just two hours and the sun ... read more
