Hey Gang!

Yep, it was soooo wonderful to meet and stay with all the Ishers that we did and our holiday would have been a lot less fun had it not been for you lot! :mrgreen:

So we would like to say a big THANK YOU to all of you who had to put up with us, it was absolutely wonderful. And we do look forward to perhaps returning the favour for any who make it to our sunny shores some day.

We also want to thank Andy and Dave for starting the site in the first place and allowing us to be part of it. :cheers:

It will be good to get home but it was great to be here with you all and we have memories that will last a lifetime.

Thanks again!

Us too Nev - WE'll never forget your PJ's! :wink: :lol:
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Fourthing it... (is that even a word?)

Safe journey to both of the Wombats... welcome to stay with us next time... (need to know the pjs story first!!! :wink: )

It was a great honour to meet you both - and if I ever do get on a plane in my lifetime it will be to come and see you guys over there.

Well just nipped over to Reading to meet Nev and Linda half way from Heathrow to Bristol. They were both really relaxed and happy. We hung out for the day, not much to do in Reading though! We said our goodbyes and I must admit to having to run off as I was welling up.

So thats it then they are off back to Oz. Was a pleasure having you both staying and it is spot on that you visited.

Thanks All!

(Glad to see you're OK Andy and Emma didn't kill you when you got home :mrgreen: , please give her our love).

Well, tomorrow midday we fly out and that will be it for our travelling for a while. We have been impressed and humbled by the reception that we recieved from everyone, our only regrets being that we live so far away from you all.

Nev

Thank you all for making our holiday very special and something we will remember for a long time!

Normally I wander round in my PJs in the morning - but I decided to do as my mother taught me and dress while I had guests.
Morning 1 - Mrs Wombat appears in pink PJs and fluffy slippers :cheers:
Morning 2 - Mrs Wombat appears in pink PJs and fluffy slippers closely followed by Mr Wombat in Homer Simpson PJs :cheers:
Morning 3 - Mrs Wombat appears in PJs and fluffy slippers closely followed down the stairs by Mr Wombat in pale blue Pjs with fish on - discussion ensues and we decide they are Marlin - Mrs Milim (Helen) appears in bright red tartan PJs - children start singing "Bananas in Pyjamas" :shock: :lol:
