I am keeping my fingers crossed that sometime later this year we will get the chance to take a trip out to Australia for a few weeks. But it is all riding on us selling this place as soon as possible.

I haven’t seen Australia since February 2002, not to mention my sister, aunts and cousins. My son William is living back there too and I’m desperate to see him again. I know he’s only been gone since November but I miss him like mad. Alot has changed in my neighbourhood since I left; more shops, more cars (naturally), new Govt…but everyone I know and love is still there and that’s good enough reason.

I grew up in Manly, just over from Sydney, and it’s funny how much for granted I took travelling on the ferry. It was just like hopping on a bus to me! But next time I climb aboard I shall be feeling every bit as excited as a first time visitor to my beautiful city.

Can’t wait
