Hi everyone! Definately up for a day out in ESSEX. As Kims says the picnic in Dunstable was a great success. Maybe think of a similar site to the one in Dunstable??

:) Hi to one and all ..and what a beautiful summers day it is here in England ... it is cloudy and grey and rather chilly and is now looking like rain!

Yes my OH is from Sydney, he came over here to work nearly ten years ago now, he is a computer programmer and works in the financial sector... but is longing to get back I think.

We went over to Oz last year for nearly a month, on honeymoon actually and spent a few weeks in NSW ... went to the Blue Mountains, the Hunter Valley, and then travelled up to Cairns and spent some time round the barrier reef, Green Island is GORGEOUS! and the rain forests. Why do we usually only see the beaches on pictures of Oz when there is so much more to see than that? ... I think they are trying to keep quiet about the rest ! ...LOL!

Heres my confession... I live here in Essex but I have only been here a couple of years ..I am really a scouser in exile. Decided if I could live amongst people who sound like the Eastenders cast I would cope fine wiv the funny accent of lots of Australians! So I am not very familiar with Essex for a possible meeting place.

Hello again,

As you can see we are not in Essex but dont mind a bit of travelling, I dont know anywhere around essex to suggest, but somewhere that is easily accessable via main routes would be good and would interest more people into coming....

any suggestions??

Yo Baggos!!, hows the sun burn??

Hi again Kim,

we are living in N.S.W about an hour from Sydney on the Central coast. I will have to ask my son if he remembers Josh, he doesn't seem to remember anyone else going to Oz though. A lot of people seem to go to Brisbane and really like it, I would reallly like it here if I could get a decent job apart from that it is lovely and we haven't seen much yet as we have only been here 7 months. I applied for another job today so wish me luck!!! Where do you work? was it a Bank holiday on Monday and if so was the weather nice? we have got the Queens Birthday off next Monday I think I can never understand why that isn't a holiday in the UK. I had lost this threat and was having panic attacks as I enjoy talking to people onn here especially when they come from the same area Speak soon Frances oh hello everyone else from good old Essex!!!!!
