Dear Alicia,
G’day (I was badgered into writing that);
Brig has just enlightened us to your blog – & what fun! We are all here at Sally’s watching a Collingwood match, Danny is quite vocal as the lead keeps on oscillating. It was lovely to read your comments from Melbourne, my boys keep asking me where you are given that Brig and Jeremy are still here.
In short, so lovely to meet you and I am so glad that you had a good time in Melbourne and Vic, Sally received your postcard and it has pride of place on the fridge currently and we have all read it. Sounds like you are having a wonderful time in Singapore, take care love lots Meg, Sally & families xxxx.
