The kids had a birthday party last Friday at one in Frankston though. I didn't see them for two hours and got in a bit of light reading on a short stay in Sydney. We are chasing some warm weather you see. I sound like I did when living in Dewsbury now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johndoe Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 Great shots Kev. Are you back home? If so...have you scratched the itch? Well and truly Fi.......................now got everything into perspective......................love the UK, and in particular, the photo opportunities, but when all's said and done, it is only a hobby and doesn't put bread on the table. My head is here, and my heart is in the UK I guess...................Bridget loves her work, Josh loves his uni and his mates, and Oz has given Jake a job, and a future, that he would have had little chance of securing in the UK............if they're happy, then that'll do for me.

Yes, we were lucky........we seemed to be "running with the weather"....................in the clear band at each stop and leaving just as the bad arrived..................we only had one night of frost but we did get drizzle most of the time.
