Hi.
I came across your blog and just wanted to say I hope you enjoyed your stay with us at Lane Cove River Tourist Park.
Have a safe trip.
Cheers,
Keith (from the Tourist Park office)
Happy Birthday, Jeffwey!! xxxx
Helloo?? Is there anybody there? What’s happening?
Hi Lesley & Jeff just wanted to say thanks for your hospitality when you were in Eden. We’ve checked out your web site and what a talented pair you are. John said to tell Jeff he’s been doing research into the Guiness widgets and so far has 3. Research is on going. We were grateful for all that rain that held you back a day, our water tanks were refilled after the family had been here so we are now ready for the next lot in a couple of weeks. Be safe you two, it was very nice to meet you and really hope we can do it again sometime. We will follow your progress with great interest. John & Sue
Hi guys
Hope you had a lovely Birthday Lesley, we all hope you had a great day.
Missing you both lots (especially Charlie boy he still stands on the trampoline looking for you)
Not missing too much in blighty, its all pretty grim to be honest. The children are doing well at school, I’m working hard and Kevin busy, doing well you know doing Kevin stuff !!
Harry and Beryl both look well, I offer them lifts whenever I see them and they always ask if I have heard from you.
When are you coming home are you going to New Zealand 1st ?
Still missing you both lots,
Trace, Kevin, Gaby, Joe and Charlie xxxxx
*** HAPPY BIRTHDAY LESLEY *** I trust you will have a good day and that brother of mine has a big surprise for you. It looks as though the trip is going well and you are enjoying yourselves. How about this for a coincidence. On the 21st March we celebrated our Golden Wedding Anniversary, you were abroad 50 years ago Jeff, I still have the telegram you sent us from the West Indies. I digress, one day while there we went to a place called Freshwater and their was a man on a stall selling item he made of knots. We got talking as you do and I happened to mention about your interest and the fact you belonged to an international knot making guild. He than produced a certificate and there at the bottom of the page was Jeff Wyatt as the chairman of the guild. How about that then. I told him you were my brother and he gave me a card which I have if you want the information. Well enjoy your day Lesley. With love June X
Hey! We just had four new kittens!! Well, Dotty did most of it…all of it, actually…heh…*quietly retreats to feed cats* xxx
It seems just like yesterday that you were here visiting…hang on…it was just yesterday!:)
If any one else has thoughts of taking in these two drifters you will be in for terrific company:)
I am green with envy, thinking of you setting up new stakes in the Betty G. We’ll be following your progress.
Safe travels, you two.
Love, Sue and Gayle 
P.S. We’ll get that list of beach sites to you shortly.
G’Day to you both, L & I really enjoyed your stay with us, good company indeed, Don’t forget the “May I”. Rosie and Tess send their best wish’s, and thanks for the morning walks….The seagulls asked for a special mention as did the ducks.
Cheers, Roger
Dear Jeff & Lesley
We are enjoying hearing about your travels, and glad to know you are safe in Tasmania at present. What a lot of places you’ve been, envy you the sights and sounds, and meeting so many different people.
Love David & Sheila xx
Hi folks,
Thank you for the New Year and Birthday text. I see you are now due some sea-time, I am not too sure If KRAKEN goes that far south:- you may just find out.
Still viewing with a certain amount of envy.
Wishing you well,
Yours aye
Bob
How very delightful it was to meet you both when you visited our community craft shop “Eyre Crafts” here in Streaky Bay South Australia. What talented people you are! I have enjoyed your website too. I’ll treasure the little “knot” you gave me and put it on the shop keyring.
Enjoy the rest of your trip and I’ll have fun following you on the ‘net.
Regards,
Ailys
Hello you two,
Thoroughly enjoying reading about your experiences. Sorry to hear about the van. Hope it keeps you safe and on the road now you have had it overhauled.
Wishing you both a very happy New Year.
Love and Best Wishes,
Sally, Ric and the boys x x x x
Hi from your friends the Fishers holidaying in perth. Were still here enjoying our time and glad to hear that you are finaly able to enjoy yours on the road. We were lucky enough to be invited to Pauls birthday where yet again your story was replayed. What a tale, what troubled time, what a fond memory and result for everyone involved. I’ve been reading your story to date and envy you both. The Fisher and Burleigh families would like to wish you the very best of luck and experiences for the remainder of your time here. Two fine people traveling our vast land. May good luck and fair weather follow you relentlesly.
hello Jeff & Lesley. Seasons Greeting to you both. sorry that I have not been in touch, as usual I’ve been very busy. We are both off to David and Sheila Pearson for dinner. I’ve just read your travel log, I am sorry to here of your problems with the van. Life is a S— butty. but your problems are a good way to meet new friends. now that I’ve got you site on my computer I will pay more attention . I made contact with the director of the Tasmanian Wooden Boat Festival, I cant remember if I mentioned it before you left. He is a very nice fellow.
Happy Knotting and all the best for the New Year, Dave & Anne.
Hi Folks, I sent my cards last week, an thought I must, I must not forget, so here I am remembering to say, Have a good Christmas and I do hope you get to the boat show in the new year.
KM 101 has just come through my door, you may get to look at one in Tasmainia. its a good one.
Love to you both Ken Lesley and Aby.
Lesley! Found your letter from last year and was going to send a Xmas card until I read your letter properly! So, instead found your blog and have been reading with great interest and a certain amount of envy. We have two friends, our age, who are thinking of doing exactly (or nearly) the same as you next year when their pensions come through so will suggest they follow your progress too and poach some ideas – especially about finding a Camper Van. We hope your have a good Xmas and that you carry on travelling sin problems. Will follow your progress avidly! love Jo xxxx
Hi Lesley and Jeff,
Just catching up with everything. Super photos and I have to admit the roads looks in much better than they did in the 60’s !!
Sorry to hear about the big engine problem with Betty, not the kind of thing you could have predicted but a bit of a beggar to put it mildly.
We are full of snow and blizzards at presents, not very pleasant but I couldn’t cope with 30 degree heat either.
Hope you get things sorted out pretty soon motorwise,
Keep safe,
Love Ruth and all the Smiffs xx
Salutations!
Finally remembered about your blog(Well, actually mum reminded me but i digress), and thought ‘Hmm, maybe they’d like to know whats happened on the home front?’(Actually, mom again) Anyway, a short update on what’s happened here. I broke my ankle 3 weeks ago, but Alex has apparently been doing well at his college, Mum is feeling much better, and Dad is, well, Dad.
Anyway, I’ve been reading through this with envy- we didn’t get to go on Holiday because of my Ankle, so angst all round. Still, I can’t wait for your next update.
Safe trip and a good morrow.
Read all your news to date. It seems you are having a great time although not a lot of luck with the van. Were not long back from Lake Garda, a very beautiful spot and we had a good time. The weather, like you Lesley, would not suit me and to add salt to the wound it’s b. freezing hear with the first of the snow in Scotland, mind you I know where I would prefer to be at this moment, is there enough room in the van for another one. Continue enjoying yourselves. With love June X
Okay found some on Webshots!
xx
Wot no pics?
Luvya!
Am reading with great interest and a certain amount of envy.
All is well in Hampshire.
Yours aye
Bob
Thanks very much for your greetings. We had a great day on Sunday and the weather was good. Malcolm, Jean, Penney, Tracey their spouses and children all came, it was good to see them and all the children got on so well. On my actual birthday we went to Brighton and had fish and chips on the pier, another good day. The family booked us on a 8 day trip to Lake Garda in Italy on the 1st October we are looking to this very much. Enough of us I see all is well with you both and Betty, I trust she is behaving herself, the only problem I have is who’s that grey haired man sitting at the wheel I thought they all wore hats with corks around the brim. Be safe and make the most of your wonderful trip. June X
Up to date with all your news. You must have taken the bad weather with you and left it behind as well. The floods etc are bad again although mostly Wales, Midlands and up north.
Enjoy. June X
If you make it to Neighbours land and Ramsey Street take a photo and email me. Enjoy – 1p xx
Bon voyage. I trust you will have a good trip. I will follow your progress with interest and envy. June X
