Webcam shenanigans

You'll notice that the Magill Estate has been added to our list of favourite Adelaide places... no we didn't win the lottery, and no we didn't rob a bank! We met up with our friend Duane (a winemaker from Sydney, sorry Duane we just have to say that) on Friday night who is in Adelaide for work. We'd booked a little Italian restaurant but had no guilt in not turning up when Duane announced his business partner was in town and was going to take us out for dinner to the Magill Estate! Expensive food, expensive wine, fine company - and all of it paid for! What an enjoyable evening. Thanks Duane for your marvellous contacts as always...

Things generally going well. I'm starting to need to feel some warmth now, especially when I'm seeing folk in the UK wearing t-shirts and vests! Saying that, at least we have running water and are not knee deep in water like those back home in Gloucester. It has been very surreal to see all of the photos. Even more surreal that suddenly everyone I talk to here knows where Gloucester is and doesn't just presume I was born and bred in London!

I did get some warmth on Sunday afternoon as I sat in our little garden. I actually fell asleep it was so lovely! The sun on my face feeling that warm in mid winter was glorious!

Watch out when you're on the webcam with us - there's a new feature on skype where we can take your photo!

Good on Mum & Dad H for getting a new webcam - a much better picture I'm sure you'll agree!

And an extra special 'good on ya' to Gran and Grandpa who have succumbed to the world wide web by purchasing a computer and having broadband installed! It's a joy to chat on the webcam, though all a little confusing (well done Dad P for your tutoring skills)-
