Stunning views, rarely can a photo give the right vibe but apart from the dodgy sex tourist in the funny hat, it looks absolutely wonderful. By the way you both look almost.......calm.......unstressed.....mmmm, I wonder why?

Breakfast normal time this morning and off in the Previa. Plenty of rain to endure. Made our way up to the other side of Selsdon all the way to Sanderstead. Both these towns were lovely, with muddy grass verges that went on forever. For hundreds of yards the dirt in the gutter was shallow, ideal for rats to play in, then it was piled up in a heap giving a strange brown/greay colour... it always looks different in the rain. We couldn't resist and decided to have a walk along the pavement, just kicking our feet in the dirty, damp grime and looking at the take-aways along the road... they have such wonderful views past the parked cars. We met a young couple from Warlingham whose father had just bought a house at Kenley and they said that the large houses cost around £5-600,000 roughly £5-600,000. Sounds a lot, but if you could see how near they are to the M25, you would seriously have to think about it.

Still more sun, sea and sand. Yawn. A little less knee please Keefy boy your putting me off my lunch. Moniques mum out of hospital. Kidney stones apparently. Got colder here. Everyone seems to have stopped work already. Yippee. Daughter heading out to Ozzie boxing day, Don't ask. Xmas shopping all done time to chill. Have a good one you lucky people.

Merry Xmas and a happy new year!! I expect your missing all the bedlum of xmas shopping!!!

Love to you both

Hi you two

Fantastic to see you both having a great time - a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Maureen - have a drink on us! Missing our get-togethers and can't wait to see you in Feb. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Your "oldest" friends. XX

Hi Glad to hear you are enjoying yourselves, in the best place weather wise. Places look good I expect you are learning a lot about Aussie-- its rembering it though-- Just to wish Maureen a happy birthday,have a good time not too much wine . well maybe on this occasion.

Thanks for a brilliant afternoon last week - as you said, it's great to meet up with familiar faces and to pick up from where you left off. Glad to see the weather is holding up for you. It's starting to pick up in Sydney but will still be flying home on Wednesday paler than a pale thing. P.S Rob thinks its hilarious the boys remember him but not me and Kelly (must have been a lightsabre thing!) Speak soon x
