A big thank you to my bro for finally making it over to Australia for a holiday.
The last month has been fantastic and it was with a heavy heart that me and Mat had to drop Rich at the airport yesterday. I will miss having him here very much but I have also gained a lot from our long chats and have much to think about. I vow to be more positive; positivity breeds content 
I shall, in time, get around to posting some pictures from our many adventures but for now this shows me and Rich at Avalon Beach on Monday just before we went for a refreshing swim.

Fab photo! i’m really jealous. I thought that your brother might have been tempted to stay?
A big Happy Birthday to you Alex. You are looking fab.
Lots & lots of love John & Carol
Thank you John & Carol. He didn’t want to go home. I think if it wasn’t for his dog, Bryn, he wouldn’t have done. Then again, you can’t apply for a working holiday visa whilst being in the country. He is making plans to come out again as we speak.
I thought that message you sent me on Skype was a really old one – it’s not my birthday for over 5 months but thank you anyway. I’m up for cake if you’ve made one
