hiya guys happy crimbo and new year we are in the middle of good food and wine hope your celebrations were/are good - J is setting up scalextric as i type!! It snowed here xmas day which was fab - bullfinch on honeysuckle on boxing day, lots of longtail t***, a green finch and a heron in the field all made it a very merry xmas.

Happy New Year from snowy Sweden! Nice to see your photos on the web. Looks familiar in some way... We got our photos yesterday. Several kilograms to bring home, but very exciting to watch!!
Karin is preparing for her journey to England, while I have another month free before I begin my job at the ski resort Björkliden, 200 kilometres north of the Polar circle!

Hope you enjoy your stay in Australia!
/Johan; greetings from Karin as well!

We are about to start our New Year's Eve partying, so before we get too inebriated we'll just say Happy New Year to you all. I think when we wake up you will all be about to start your party time. Have a good one.............Now back to the BBQ

Hope Kangaroo Island was good, we never quite made it there, still very jealous of you being in Oz, its freezing and grey here. Photo's are awesome - we've only just started putting ours together, 2 countries down, 11 to go!!! Enjoy New Years - where's the next stop? Take Care Paul and Sallyx

Hi Winona. Have a brilliant day. We said Hi to a Koala for you. Thanks for the presents all very scrumptious. Speak to you again soon. xxxxx

Hello all and a very Happy Christmas. While you are all sleeping we have been down to the beach for our Christmas Day swim. Its actually not too hot today so it was a good way to wake up. Its about 27 degrees so i guess that would be quite hot for all of you in Blighty. After 4 months in Africa it is a fairly mild temp. Have a great Christmas Day and don't eat too much!!!! We are off to Kangaroo Island for 3 days tomorrow so will catch up after that. xxx

Hi Janet & Pete,
Hope you're having a lovely Christmas - bet you're missing the cold weather - not!
Darren and I are both off between Christmas and New Year so hopefully we can get some of those jobs around the house done!
Looking forward to seeing you again next year
Ness & Darren xxxx

Greetings surfers, Just a short note to wish you both a very happy Christmas and an adventurous new year in the wild blue yonder. Stroke of luck being able to talk to you yesterday. Very good though. Anyway, will write copious amounts when the public library reopens after christmas. Hang 10.

Thank you, thank you, I thank you. Yes, there are finally a few photos on the web!! Only August so far, but I know what I'm doing now so the sky's the limit. Have met up with uncle Tony and cousin Brett, having a really good time despite both Brett and his lovely friend picking on me...sob sob. It's not my fault mum, tell them!!
