Helen I remember saying - sitting in a travel agency in Clapham Common - if you can survive this trip together you can manage anything. And now you're back, engaged, and with an amazing trip under your belt. Well done and congratulations. Canberra is treating me well - new house, new job, time with the family. All good! Have a ball settling in and reliving the stories as many times as people are willing to listen! Helen
