Hi Roy and Jo
I hope Fiji is still above water after all the flooding. Aussies have really pulled together with all the bushfires and they are collecting so much money and items for them. The saddest has been the animals. The sheep, cows, koalas - I just cried. They were so burnt and injured and the rescuers were trying to feed them water and the one little koala actually grabbed the bottle to pour on its arm as it just wanted relief from the burns. Its been just too awful. Glad you got to see that area before all of this happened. I loved the photo of the hobbits town, that's the one I was holding out for!!! Enjoy Fiji and have a safe trip across the sees to USA!

Hi Uncle Roy & Aunty Jo,
Thank you both so much for my birthday card and little puppet, I know I was supposed to wait till my birthday but I was SO excited I couldn't wait! Miss seeing you both, love looking at all your photos. Love Sarah x

Hello hello. Christ I'm jealous of you two. Photo's look incredible, New Zealand seems amazing. Manchester is very cold, we had one day of moderate snow, very disappointing. Berlin was superb, very, very cold though. Watching the rugger at the moment, slowly freezing away. At least we're winning...

Hi Boy

Hope you have been following the one dayers against the Auzies. We are 2 - 1 up int 5 match series which I think is fantastic as we have a new squad as building team. Next game tomorrow, 26th Australian day. hope we clap them on their public holiday.

Looking at the news Britian is going through a bad recession. Lots of banks gone broke.

Where are you off to next as Fiji seems to be flooded and tourists warned not to go.

Keep safe.

Love

Dad
