Heather Don't know if you will be keeping up with this now but just wanted to say hi incase you get a chance. Ruth forwarded your e-mail so I'm glad you seem to be okay with touring by yourself. Sounds like a lot of fun and I hope you have lots more exciting experiences.We were looking at the globe today so Leon was learning all about why the time is different in Australia and why their seasons are not the same as ours etc. All a bit complicated even for me with big words like northern and southern hemisphere, equator etc but at least he got to see where " Aunt Lorna " was and gran and papa and DISNEYLAND!!!!!! I was hoping to get them to say hi but they are all engrossed in discovery kids so I will try again tomorrow. Take care and God bless.

Ruth Hi Lorna, Hows things going? Have you caught up on your sleep yet? I tried your experiment, I filled my sink up with water, pulled out the plug and the water drained away anti-clock wise. So I tried it a 2nd time just to be sure, but that time it drained away clock wise!! So I don't think it matters what side of the equator your on!! You can try and see. Caleb and Nathanael keep asking for you every time they see a plane, especially Nathanael. Caleb understands your not on one anymore but forgets how to say Australia. He wants you to take a picture of a Kangaroo for him, he is telling everyone you will be seeing one. Hope you have a nice weekend at the Blue Mountains. Keep in touch. Ruth (I just asked Caleb if he had anything to say to his Auntie Lorna and he said ' Yes, the Kangaroos, where are they?' so thats all from him.)
