robcal Hope you were sitting down when you saw a message come up from us. I know it has been a long time coming but, I can't help being off work. I will send you an email to catch up on things. Have just read all your diary entries, you certainly keep us smiling. Keep living the dream for us all x x x x x

big sis Hi ya how you doin hope you are still having lots of fun. cant wait for you to come home and tell us your tails  of your big adventure.           love you loads

Robcal   It was wonderful to hear your voice last night.  I am sorry I said it was Charlotte, but that is who I was told was on the phone, Charlotte by the way is danny's girlfriend.  Your mum was driving me mad when you were on the phone, "my baby", which I suppose technically you are.  I'm sure she will change her mind when you have been home driving her round the hat rack for a couple of weeks, a bit like Danny is me, well not so much Danny, but it seems to be a constant stream of x-squaddies sleeping in the living room, oh well soon be christmas.  Looking forward to our little trip to Sherwood forest, not as exotic as your little trip but hey such is life. Speak soon take care, more updates and pics please, enjoy sydney x x x x x x x

robcal Hi babe, We had forgotten about the black swans, you are bringing all our memories alive again, the scenery is breath taking & you have certainly taken some fantastic photo's of Lions. Wez's party was a great success we missed you though. We are dragging your nana & grandad (kicking & screaming) to Center Parcs in 3 weeks time for a 5 day break, so really looking forward to that. Loving every snippet of info we get about you (your mum keeping us up to speed) loads of love x x x x x x

becky Hi mate, it all looks fab and still very excting. Hope you and Anne are making the most of it and already planning your next trip. Keep safe xxxxx

Robcal Hi Lau We got your postcard, yesterday, sounds like you are still having a fabulous time, shame you did not get a lot done in Alice, did you manage to get as far as uluru/ Hope so, but that said you beat us because that is still on our 'to do' list. I have just absailed down the Britannia Building, never again, why anybody would do that a 2nd time is beyond me, but hey it's crossed off the list now. Rob is a very happy Bunny as we have just got back from Wales were he met Crystal Gayle, got his pic took & has been wearing a silly grin since! He has it on his screen saver (the pic I mean, not the silly grin!) Enjoy Darwin and hopefully it will be a bit cooler than when we were there, well less humid would be good & if we don't catch up with you before have a fab time in Cairns. Miss you loads lots of love and pretty Possoms from us x x x x x

robcal Hi lau Have just been checking out your photo's absolutley amazing, although Wez says there is not a chance you would get him that close, especially to the crocs. All well this end. Went to London to see we will rock you last night, it was brill, really enjoyed it. Keep sending the photo's home, they are fantastic, your photo course really paid off. Lots of love x x x x

robcal Hi Lau Have just sent you a lovely long email, so that should keep you busy for a bit. Very weird I have to do sums now when we log on! Aparently it proves I'm a real person!!! Dans starts his new job on ~Wednesday, so save some money when you come home as he will be selling you paintball packages. Your nan's front garden is looking good, the cement went down on Saturday, has kept the boys out of mischief, well inbetween playing ball it has anyhow. Speak soon x x x x x

Robcal Hi lauYou can always email Danny at our address.  We have got central news arriving at 10.00am to interview Rob as it is national no smoking day and he has given up smoking with Hypnotherapy for 7 weeks now.  Will try and record it for you.  Your nan's front garden is un recognisable Dan and Gaz have been working hard digging it all out and getting it ready for the concrete to go in.  Think on about visiting Adelaide, it is a fabulous place, although so is Sydney.  I think you shoul dstay there and we will come to visit and not come home again.  Everyone well this end.  Keep living the dream for us all.  Love you loads & Miss you x x x x x x x x x x

Lau Well everyone after much blood sweat and tears I have finally managed to upload some photos. As some of you may have noticed there is a slight technical hitch with a few of the vertical photographs in that I am unable to roatate them at present due to the restrictions of the software on this computer ahhhh. So I hope you have enjoyed laughing at my incompetence because I think I have burst a blood vessel in my temple from getting frustrated with this thing!!. Thinking of you allLau xxx
