Hello both of you, sounds like you're both having an awesome time! Hope you've got nice plans for Christmas, thinking of you! Not sure how I would have felt doing the skydive, especially if the instructor said 'we're not going to make it'! Squeaky bum time! ;)

Hello guys. how are you doing? Great to receive your Christmas card with your pics. brilliant! Very cold here today about 9c think you will be a little warmer!!!!!! Good to see your pics and so pleased everything is going so well for you both.Looking forward to seeing you in Feb/Mar.Hurry up and decide what (if any)trips you want to join with us as we need to book asap.It will be strange celebrating Christmas in the summer. lots of love Auntie Hilaryxxxx

Hi both. Fantastic pics - many thanks for sharing them, it must have taken you ages to upload them all! You didn't tell us that Mount Magnet had a caravan site - what size plane do you think we'd need to get the caravan over there...? The photos of the 'main street' are great. It looked as though there should have been tumble weed to blowing across the pciture! We decided that you must have been up and about at around 6am for the street to be that empty! I think you'll really miss that place when you move on! Adie, the yard at Commercial Club looks very smart - and Holly, dad and I thought we'd have the Beef Roulade - until we saw the price!

Things here are much the same as ever. The sun's been shining today, and it's been really warm - we've been doing a few jobs in the garden in T shirts!

Have a great trip up to the Coral Coast, you must be so excited about moving on again. Enjoy the next leg of your trip - we miss you both loads, and look forward to hearing the next installment travellers tales! Loads of love and hugs, Mum and Dad xxxxxx (and a big sloppy lick from Nix)

Hi Ade & Holly, What great photos. We all loved looking at them and seeing some of the fantastic experiences you have had - you both look so happy and well. It was great speaking to you. Next time hopefully I won't be at work so can chat longer. Will send your faxes tomorrow morning (Sunday). Have safe journey to your next destination. Look forward to speaking to you both next weekend. We went to the new shopping centre - Westfield at Stratford today - it was fabulous - also saw the Olympic site - very impressive. Lots of love and kisses Mum, Dad and Matthew. xxxxxxxxx

Hi Holly and Ade. Lovely pics. We have so enjoyed looking at them all and you both looked to be so well and happy . It was nice to talk to you Ade on Skype I find it amazing that it is possible to have a chat with you in Australia before I have even had breakfast .

We are well althoXXXXugh our traveling is over at least for the time being hospital appointments etc. but who knows I am sure before long I will find a cruise which we will feel we just cant not go on.I still have itchy feet and do not feel ready to just stay at home watching the telly. Lots of love to you both, take care. XXXX

AT LAST!!!!found you .I have tried verything without success but now you wont keep me away. Loved the photos. What a fantastic time you seem to be having and you both look great . Glad I added Ade.as a friend yesterday. Take care,

Lots of love Grandma and Reg

Hi Ade and Holly, hope you are both well and enjoying Aussie hospitality. Thanks for your text - look forward to hearing all your news. Matt sent you an email about downloading your photos. Also we sent you an email a couple of weeks ago updating you on all the news back home.Hope to catch up at the weekend by skype - can't wait to hear all your news. Missing you lots, love Mum, dad & Matt xxxxxx

Hi you two. Hope you're both well and having the time of your lives. We're into day 3 of the Great IOW Trek (without a guide!) It's true what they say - the IOW really is the holiday venue for all seasons - sometimes all 4 in the same day!! The site is very nice and well kept but its been very windy since we arrived with a lot of gusty rain as well. We walked from Sandown to Bembridge and back this afternoon, stopping off at the Pilot Boat Inn for Crab sandwiches and Chips - mmmmm! The path follows the clifftop past your old workplace at Camp Beaumont - a hive of activity as we walked past. Seems funny to think of you having worked there now. Forecast for the rest of the week is pretty poor so there's a chance we might not stay all week as we'd planned but we'll see how it goes.We're enjoying the rest anyway Nix has been really good and seems very happy in the van again - especially likes the walks! Hope the rest of your trek goes brilliantly - look forward to hearing from you when you get time/wifi access etc. Lots of love Mum & Dad xxxxx

Hi guys! I'm currently sitting in the Palace Theatre pit playing trombone for a production of Hello Dolly (i used to like the show!). Sounds like you're having the most incredible time - it's great being able to read what you're getting up too. Make sure you keep updating it - it'll act as a great diary in years to come.

Well, the house move was fairly stressful, as you can no doubt imagine. We love the house and have already achieved lots with the help of all the family!

Take That last night at Wembley Stadium - amazing!

Look forward to the next post.

Take care. Stu, Saz & Alf xxx

Hi to you both. What a fantastic experience you are having - not sure about the close encounters with the snakes, spiders and crocs - how brave you are Holly and yet you were worried about a cockroach?!!!!! Can't imagine how moving the museum and fields were - so very sad. We have been very busy helping Stuart and Sarah move in - emptyiing boxes, painting and decorating. They are both at Take That concert tonight so we have Alfie staying. Roy and Jennifer are coming to stay for the weekend before Matthew goes into hospital for operation on his mouth on Monday. The infection in Nigel's foot flared up resulting in him being admitted back into hospital on Monday and had an operation to remove another toe yesterday. He is recovering and hoping to come home after the weekend. Auntie Hilary had a lovely week in the Lake District and got back this evening. Dad went for his pensioner's meal at the Thistle on Monday and had a lovely time catching up with all his old work friends. Matthew played in the summer concert at St. Bernards last night which went very well. Look forward to hearing from you both soon. Missing you lots. Love to you both Mum, Dad and Matthew xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Been keeping up with the photos and such! Glad you made it there safely. Holly I can only imagine this is the beginning of awkward moments - last to make the plane! You are silly. We all miss you here. Me and Stace are off on our own adventure to Mallorca in a few days....eh-hem! Keep the posts coming please.

Much Love Jack xxx

Hi both, thanks for your blog - sounds as though you're having a great time - especially the Gump restaurant - must have been really special. also picked up on your facebook message re the Cambodian family meal - well done! Went to Exbury today - beautiful sunny day - went on the steam train - you'll have to try that when you're next here Ade :-) Nix is still missing you - awwwgh! Look forward to hearing from you again soon. Lots of love, Dad, Mum and Nix xxx
