hello!
Really enjoying following you around Oz - it all sounds fantastic and such a laugh. After all this you''ll need a holiday! Want to hear loads about the Whitsundays - saw them in a brochure and they look like paradise - let us know if it's true or just clever photography by the travel agent. Here we are having funny monsoon weather - very hot for England but very humid too and then on Saturday the mother of all thunder and lightning storms - all the street lights came on at midday and it was so dark had lights on in house very spooky. Sunny again on sunday went on boat to Studland with friends - no whales! Today sunny and should be for rest of the week - thought summer was never coming now everyone in poole moaning about the heat and being all dramatic about the dangers! Saddoes - it's great and we're loving it while it lasts been to the beach and chilling out in the sea every day. Well better close now have loads more fun - we're sure you will!!!!!! lots of love and hugs t s r e and o xxxxxxxxxxxx
