all getting ready for christmas here Hi you two, all of us so glad to keep reading your updates. It sounds like you had a real holiday adventure when you visited family recently, can tell you both loved the experience and the fact you had familiar family faces around you to make you feel at home. The photos are still fab and your smiles could not be any wider. Keep enjoying the Aussie life still as you will be moving on before you know it. We have just had a wonderfull experience in Paris celebrating Helens 30th Birthday, she was the perfect tour guild and we didnt miss any tour attraction. Let me wish you a very happy christmas from all of us here in Plymouth. Take care always Lots of Love to you both. Jackie xx
christmas tree is up today Kate, just a little late, would not have happened if you were here, would it? and I think we are fairly ready for christmas. We saw a wonderful nativity play at the church, the children were brilliant and then we met up with all your lovely colleagues. The Herald has the sat results today and guess what, Holy Cross is number 1. How great is that. It is just lovely to see all your relations Anton and to see you are both having a wonderful time, love and miss you every minute, hope to speak to you soon.
hi again, love the family blog & photos. Yes, recognise the painting of River Dart. Lovely to see and skype with the family, they sure looked after you guys (the real South Sea Island style) they loved having you both and so glad you felt at home. Sure doing a lot of eating and as for the rum and coke, wow, you doing well Kate!!! I could imagine most of the places you mentioned and lovely to see all the children-sll growing away up too quickly. Love the one of \'silly faces\' When I was last at Bea & John\'s place they had just planted all those trees and shrubs in their massive yard. Am so pleased that you managed to meet up with the Aussie relatives on Pa\'s side of the family. Don\'t relax, there\'s more to come in NZ and of course in Fiji & USA. Your newsy blog made us feel so happy to know that you are both enjoying yourselves, a welcome break from hostels alright. It\'s already 3months since you left UK-half way!! Skype from Jason\'s if poss. Thinking of you always-keep safe. love yous!!!

Pomona & Bribie Hi again, loved the blog and photos of the family. So lovely to see all the children growing up and the 'oldies'looking well. We are pleased that you met up with the relatives-a chance not to miss and know that they have been anxious to see you both. I keep going back to look at the photos-thanks! Glad they have been 'spoiling'you and know they all want you to stay longer. We would love to see them again-maybe someday!!! Was lovely to skype again at Ning & Ann's. Enjoy your stay with Jason. Love you both! lots & lots xxxxx
Hi you two! love the latest blog and photos of Emu Park, lovely beaches. Fancy sitting on the frog,poor thing! Glad you didn't swim with the jelly fish-been stung in the past, not very pleasant! So pleased you meeting the relatives and that they are 'spoiling' you both (make the most of it) Always lovely to skype when you can. Will miss you at Christmas-home alone this year! Never mind. Always in our thoughts and prayers Love yous!xxxxxxx
Hi to you both, What a great blog! You certainly seem to be having a wonderful time. Well done on a successful bbq, that was quite an achievement but worth it for a free nights accomodation.The boat trip sounded good fun if not a little scary. It will be good to see what you think of Fraser island. We loved it especially the lake where we all went swimming and had a bbq.School is busy with the lead up to Christmas we have practises in the Christian centre to look forward to! I think I would rather be where you are!. Keep enjoying yourselves look after each other Love to you both. I am still missing you Kate xxxxxx
Sorry about the mistake. Enjoyed the photos with your blog. Trust you missing the water train Kate-posing for the camera! See you both having a ball. Guess you moving on now. Yes, getting excited for Christmas.Yours will be a HOT one. Hope we can skype soon. Take care. love yous!!!!
Australia Fair Hi you two, still loving your blog updates, and photos too. I did think the timotie hair photo in the waterfall would win any competition if ever it was entered. Good on you saving the day with the barbeque supper for everyone.
We caught up with Keith and Barbs yesterday and they said you are having a fabulous time now that you have hit Australia. Enjoy all that lovely sunny hot weather as as Helen said we have long dark evenings and the very cold weather will be with us soon im sure.
Love your blogs!.... Hi, So love reading your blogs, especially this one. It brought back so many memories. Alan and I did a similar Whitsundays trip and saw the same places as you. You're having an amazing time. I wish I was there with you. Missing you loads but hoping you don't get homesick anymore. Australia is so amazing and the YHA hostels are fab. Loved the chef Anton and pot washer Kate BBQ!! Take care and love you lots, Jane, Alan, Erin and George xxxx
Lucky ducks! You might think you have bad luck but try thinking on the positive side so that you don't feel so homesick - you were lucky enough to meet each other, to have the opportunity for a once in lifetime adventure and to be travelling around australia while we are all working and having to put up with dull days and dark evenings! See you are lucky after all, don't worry about missing a few buses! Kate, your tan looks fab and the pictures are awesome, love the one of you re-enacting the timotei ad and the one of you both walking hand in hand down the deserted beach. Anton, sounds like you are doing a fab job keeping Kates sprits up and tummy full! Keep the updates coming, they're brightening up our winter!
Hi my dears! Enjoyed reading your latest novel, You sure are having an adventure of a lifetime but glad you're not starving-pot noodles are cheap. Got your tex,ta. Our relatives are anxious to meet you, glad you been in contact with Beatrice. Look forward to your photos. Look after eachother, esp when you feel home sick Kate-it gets better! Anton is good to gee you on. We love your blog......keep them coming. Love you both. Keep safe!!! xxxxxx
Your continuous adventures..... This holiday rearly is amazing for you both and Anton your blogging is brilliant Kate has a bit of competition.How many tales you will have to tell in the years ahead.Kate it must be hard when you get a bit homesick but everything will be the same when you get home you will be the one who will be different.Who better to be with than Anton when you get homesick! keep each other safe love to you both x x
What are you like!!!! Fancy missing the bus! How funny.....you won't be doing that again!! All sounds fab and glad you are having to great time. Airlie Beach is really nice - quite busy but you can do the whitsundays from there, which is amazing. Well worth doing a 3 day boat trip around them ... more money to spend though.....you'll have to spend a few more nights in playing scrabble!!!! Woo Hoo Rock on! Love you xxxx
Travels Hi Katie & Anton, just caught up with your travels. What an amazing experience you are both having. Lookingforward to reading more of your adventures. Take care. Love Annie
Bali a memorable experience Hi you two glad you have updated the blog we were getting a little concerned as to what you had been up too, but after a catch up with Barbs and Keith we found out all about the moped event. On viewing the gory photos you were lucky as Anton said for it not to be worse. You have some lovely photos of Bali and the beaches there, and what sunsets. Australia now and a different experience every day no doubt. Keep enjoying yourselves, and keep safe too. Love Jackie and John xxxx
Welcome to our blog!!! We hope that you enjoy experiencing our trip with us; we will make sure that we update you regularly with our pictures and what we have been doing. This is a trip of a lifetime and we intend to create many memories that will last us a lifetime.
Fasten your seatbelts and enjoy the ride!!!
Lots of Love
