Hello everyone Well, at last I am writing another blog. I don't know where the time has gone but I've been having a lovely time. I stayed in Sydney for a few days after returning from Tasmania and then came down to Malua Bay again. Alex and I set off for the Snowy Mountains on Saturday night, staying in Canberra to break up the journey. On Sunday we got to Jindabyne in the Snowy Mountains and stayed on a really lovely campsite just out of town. Our cabin wa...

Hello everybody I'm back in Sydney after a LOVELY time in Tasmania. No phones, internet or TV for most of the time and it was great.

For the moment, I am still down with Alex and Mike in Malua Bay, where it has also been very, very hot. It is lovely down here. It's very quiet and very beautiful and we have been doing things in a very relaxed way !! Ale...

AT LAST !!! A new blog. It's been AGES since the last one but I couldn't get on a PC with the right programme to let me update. Aaarrgghh !! Anyway, HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone and I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. Ian and I got back from NZ on 18th December and it was then rather a mad rush to get ready for Christmas. We went up to the Blue Mountains (the Three Sisters - picture above) on 22nd December with Alex and Kerry to have a quiet day remembe...
