Australia It is a lie - Australia is not a hot , dry dust bowl edged with sun baked golden beaches adorned by bronzed, muscle bound lifeguards - well not what we saw anyway. The beaches were akin to Bognor in the rain (Bridlington for our Northern readers!!) but with bigger waves, the Hinterland was green, lush and in flood from the constant rains that fell non-stop from Boxing Day until we lef...

November 2013, here we are as guests at the wedding of Nick and Els , the weekend before we leave for New Zealand via India. What a wonderful last party before leaving - thank you Scotties and Houlsbys. So tomorrow, Novmber 25th we leave the Uk and fly to Mumbai. We will spend 4 weeks travelling by train,plane, bus and bikes round India before heading onto New Zealand to arrive on December 22nd. This will be our travel blog which with the help of my iPad I may be able to keep updated as we travel.

dressed for the occasion!
Dear Rosie, I was so pleased to see that you were keeping up the Memshib standards in the colonies!! good to see Tony as madly positive as ever and the whole gang of people together. can´t think what is happening with the weathre as Ecuador has been washed out and in a national state of emmergency all February. Even Galapagos was extra wet for the season! I think from this that you must be back in the Uk, very brave. I am not ready for the cold yet. Will climb a few glaciers in Chile to get in the mood, Love Penny

Great pics and commentary! Thank you!
I saw your Mum last week at Madley Park and she seemed very happy indeed. When I said I lived in Blenheim Lane, she chuckled and said she would never want to live there as it was too much like hard work looking after and babysitting all the children... she claerly felt sorry for me living there, and smiled sympathetically at me, shaking her head, and repeating "oh no, I'd never want to live there!" :o) She looked very happy Rosie without any anxiety.
