Lucky us, we'll be in Perth for hols, 2 weeks and 3 days time, where we will be absolutely spoilt for choice for things to do which won't cost much and in lots of cases, will cost nothing. We'll be running and cycling on the purpose built tracks, swimming in the ocean and trying to spot other people on the beach, taking the ferry down the Swan River, people- watching in Perth city whilst have an iced coffee, going to numerous exhibitions and museums, which are mostly free, or just ask for a silver dollar coin, parking at the numerous beaches all day for FREE, yes FREE unlike when we go to Skegness (nearest beach to Boston) and have to pay £10 to park on a bit of wasteland. We'll ride the free CAT buses in Perth, yes you can just get on and off when you like, you don't pay a cent. You can drive through the city - it isn't congested and no, you don't pay to enter Perth city!!

Oh dear, could go on and on and on...............

No wonder we all want to leave. Will there be any skilled workers left in the UK soon?

Cheers,
Rachel

Now you are just trying to make us Jealous - well it won't work!

I have another weekend of rain coming, and another football match to freeze my butt off at..... so there!
