Amazzzzing It all looks amazing and sounds fantastic, if it wasn't for the small problem of the aeroplane I would be very keen to see it all for myself. Mind you I'd only get sunburnt and then get covered in prickly heat - so maybe I'll just check out your photos on your return. Hope you get to cuddle a Koala!
Unfortunately there isn't much call for a surfing, snorkelling, jet skier here in W.B. but I'll keep checking the wanted ads. Make the most of it. xxx
your nephew can walk!!!!! ok so all your news is by far more exciting than what we might have to say......but in the interest of trying to add some exciting news from home...Walter can finally walk!!! he has developed from never doing more than a couple of wobbly steps to literally overnight walking laps around the kitchen table, the length of the lounge, turning and walking back again etc etc basically he is now a walker!!!
I also love that i can say 'i told you so' to mike as I always wanted to try surfing and swore it would be fun and he thought not...well Jel!! good on ya sheila!!
thanks for the postcard, Henry loves it and keeps asking if we can go to 'trailia'! and he asked if we could see where 'auntie beckie' was from the top of parliament hill! bless! not sure he quite got my explanation of the sun being up in London while the moon was in oz! mike has shown him on the globe though!
we hope you continue to have an ace time and keep up the updates! lots of love xxx
Surfing in Nottingham Just getting the hang of this new fangled travelboggy thing!
Sounds like you are having a fantastic time in the Antipodes.
Could have done with your newly acquired surfing skills on Friday night when Mum and I, Uncle Paul and Lisa were trapped in Fothergills with rising torrents cascading passed the door and down towards Castle Boulevard!!
Have fun.
A natural born surfer! Why would anyone have doubted that you would turn out to be good at surfing!! Probably the only after school club we didn't attend! So glad everything is going well, it all sounds amazing. Now that you've done the comments I can see that I am not the only one writing to you, I was beginning to feel rather lonely. Fraser Island sounds fantastic - maybe we should all move there. I explained to your father how to read your blogs and he has read them all, so he's up to-date. I may go and mow your lawn tomorrow if it stops raining long enough. Don't get too close to the whales, they may bite! xx
Sun and cruises no fair Currently I have a headache and am aching from my monthly trip to the gym. Mum says she's commenting on each post but isn't sure she's doing it right. Today we've got someone coming to value the house. Clarkie wNt to move to Bridgford. I'm still waiting on my postcard!
helloooo hey, sounds like your having a really good time - bar the cold! Definitely keep writing these, I wanna be nosey and know what your up to! :-) enjoy the rest of your trip
As requested Hello! We both have read your blog and as you wanted to know that people were reading, are now leaving a comment. Nice to know things are well despite the weather (you could have stayed here it's been lovely today though torrential downpours tomorrow to make you feel better!) Good luck with surfing, I once had a go to little success but am sure you will be much better, especially if you've already taken notes!
Will look out for futures blogs soon!
Exciting! Johnno! sounds like you're getting about a bit! When I stayed in Bondi Beach (over ten years ago, eek!) I went to a cheesy nightclub called Cheeky Monkeys - is it still there?? Fraser Island will be fab, make sure you take a running jump down the massive sand dunes
Typical Hodge... Hey dude - guess what? Cheeky Monkey's is still there! I didn't actually go but it is the only bar/club that people talk about!! And in other news, I'm afraid to inform you that 'running and jumping' on the sand dunes is now STRICTLY forbidden,,,there are signs up reminding you of such, and the guides really stressed the point. Apparently I young girl had a fatal accident a few years ago and her family sued National Parks, and won...
So I'm afraid your advice was not taken.
whaddup lil sis!! hey hey! we are reading!!! and apparently your mum is too and commenting they just cant be seen?? so anyway.....keep writing! its great to hear what your up to and for us to reminisce! we stopped for a picnic midway through a ridiculous 12-20 hour (???) drive in Noosa and I can remember wishing we could stay longer! its a surfy town from what I can remember (windy town as far as Mike remembers!) so you'll fit right in with your new narly skills!! will keep this short and sweet as sounds like internet time is ltd! love from us all and the wee ones! take care and keep surfing!!
Hello Little Surfer Dude Hello you, its me here. I hope you are seeing my comments because I am reading all your blogs. It sounds as though things are going well and I'm glad you didn't hurt yourself on the bike! Fancy seeing the dolphins - how fantastic, I bet they were really beautiful and graceful. Hold on tight to the surf board, personally I think it is probably much easier if you just lie down on it rather than stand up. Keep us all posted and carry on having FUN. xxx
Go find the sun, little one! Only just found your blogs - I was expecting an email alert, but your big sister has wised me up to it all, so now I am catching up. So glad all the long, long flights went well. Did you get to hold a koala and are you bringing one home for me? I can't believe you didn't pack any cold remedies! Hope you get to sleep on the bus - use your headphones, then you can drift off to music. Enjoy Fraser Island and keep up the blogs. xxx
