Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.........Back in lovely Sydney. It's defo a home from home and I feel at peace all of a sudden. Shame that we're not here longer (fly out tomorrow) but as we extended our trip by about 2 weeks - we must crack on and see some more of the world. I love it here! Anyway - just a quickie update.

We were very very sorry not to have been there - just one of many that we'll miss this year. Going to Hunter Valley tomorrow - to sample some wine and cheese.. yum, yum...

Was fab seeing a face from home :-) Have been very jealous as she's just spent the last couple of weeks making her way up the east coast.
