Many congratulations to you both. May you have a wonderful life together.

Hi guys,
Sarah's boyfriend David here. Sounds like you're still having a great time - apart from the hard work on the farm of course! Oh, and Averial!! However, the money you earn there will lead to you doing more great things, so gotta remember that. Peter... Sarah tells me that you have been getting a guitar and putting stickers on it from everywhere you've been since. Sounds cool. I'm expecting you to be rivalling surf dudes like Jack Johnson after your time on the beaches of Oz! Not sure the mandarin song will make it number one in the charts though!! Oh, and I enjoyed the fact about Byron Bay - most easterly point of Australia. Good stuff - don't ever let anyone tell you that it is sad to quote facts such as this!!! Keep em coming! Hope you are both well and still loving your trip. Oh, saw your camper van and it is spot on too. Keep rockin'! David

Conratulations on your engagement what away to do it // fantastic ///memory for a life time ... Luv to you both x x x x best wishes and Happy New Year what away to start 2011 be happy enjoy and have fun luv auntie Lillian and the boys x x

Huw kids. Tough trekkin but hey just a blip in the fantastic journey you are both having. Better things to come me thinks! Really pleased to hear Jace is OK so cool beans. Blogs are stupidly good Pete and as for the baggage caper you gotta invest in a lanyard and get your packs lashed down? Every thing else well wow, nothing any of us over here can come any where near so keep it coming. Great catching you both on the phone the other week so thanks for all your efforts kids it was good of you. As for the bath photie I'm surprised you managed to get your big arse freed. A veritable lucky escape!! Speak soon so till then lots of love and yes 5-1 was absolute bliss. xxxxxx
