So, went off to see Ramsay street today, or should I say Pine Oak Crescent as it is really called. I got picked up by the Neighbours bus this afternoon and we were driven to the Neighbours shop to pay. We had the pleasure of meeting Libby Kennedy, slightly gutted as the people who went in the morning met Susan Kennedy, however they couldn't actually go to the street as they were filming, were as we did go, so suppose it balances out. Libby was lovely, very smil...

Hi there! Well, last time I wrote I had just returned from the Great Barrier Reef, Queensland and was recovering from sea sickness and trying to walk in a straight line! Since then, I have been quite busy on the sight-seeing front. Last Friday I took mum to see ‘La Traviata’ at the opera house. We got really dressed up and had a fantastic evening. The opera was great, and due to the words being translated into English, I enjoyed it a lot more, as I co...
