POMS DOWN UNDER: (Sydney, Australia)

Our great friends Jeremy & Ana made the adventurous move to emigrate to Australia. For some bizarre reason, they chose to settle in Adelaide! We miss them. We got to see them a fair bit when they were in Bristol, although never for more than a few hours at a time, as is normal for everyday life. Sometimes you have to move away to really see somebody - we got four straight days with them as Mum & Steve kindly played host to all of us at their fab new pad.

We got to meet new arrival Edie, the cutest baby girl in the world, and mess around with Godson Jasper, cool Henry, and Ben who's well, hilarious. We hit the Sydney Aquarium, went crab hunting at Balmoral and got deliriously excited at Luna Park (the kids were angels as always but we were a bit out of control). On the last day we went to the Opera House and then met up with other Poms Jo and Danny, and Kate at Manly Beach. Of all the bugs, pests, critters and nasties in Oz, the Poms are probably the most
 pesky.
