Keep on moving! Hi Lorraine,
Glad to read that despite the weather (!!) you are enjoying yourself!
I know someone who travelled on one of those Oz Experience bus trips............ she had a great time!!!! She reckoned the driver was mad but said they all had so many laughs on the journey... so am sure you will too!
Thanks again for B'day ecard. Back to 'normal life' now after Greece.
Take care, love, Yvonne
P.S. It's raining here too!

albany town looks a bit like luton, without the burnt out cars, drop outs and teenage mums.

Glad it's going better Sorry you have had a tough time, it must have been a bit lonely! Would have emailed but have been on high-pressure course, no phone or email for days!
Singapore sounds great, Grace lived there for a while when she was young and would like to return.
Great to hear your adventures, I think you are very brave!
Love and best wishes

Lovely to find you in high spirits Hi Lorraine
Sorry i missed your last message as very busy. Now it seems everything is going very well. I do not share your joy in cable cars. Had one trip at Malceisine on Lke Garda but my inner fears left me a little out of the oohs and aahs of all the other passengers.

Welcome aboard Jon, glad to hear the car is still going well !!
Keep the messages and comments coming, its great to hear from you all. Love Lor x

Of course that was then, 'Oh t... full info
