Hey both, Looks like your having a good time, minus the biting insects! Some of your pics have brought back lots of memories for me....especially darling Harbour and Watsons Bay (Also one of my fave places in sydney...but where I lost my rings in the sea!) Not a lot to report from this neck of the woods really. Huw and I are off Skiing in Jan! there is a group of 10 of us...quite a random group but should be good! I am still settleing in to my new job in the uni, it is a bit boring but i'll see how it goes. Anyway keep me posted! so to speak. Lot's of love. lizzie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Nice one, Fi. Brings back lots of nice memories of various locations in Sydney about 8 years ago. I'm envious of your next location - NZ South Island - terrific landscapes.
