We're back!

Emma reclaiming Australia in Vienna. Tasmania seemed to have shrunk a bit while we weren't looking.

Well, after four weeks of bliss in Europe, including a magical day in Paris with delicious duo Vallypee and Koos, we are back in the middle of a fabulous Melbourne Summer. How strange to wear a t-shirt again after all those layers of thermals and jumpers! I now look like a pale little alien amongst all the beach-bred locals.

Will blog properly on Thursday (madness rules today and I'm working a long day tomorrow)and include some more news about The Visit. I'm still pinching myself to belive that it actually happened. What a wonderful, mad, warm and brilliant thing it was of Vally and Koos to make the trip across to see us. It was SO much fun.


A toast to good friends in Paris. Vally, Koos, me behind Sophie, then James, Mads and Emma. (Colin took the photo).

Thank you everyone who left messages while I was away - I'll be visiting you on Thursday too. Alas, virtual visits only this time.

PS: Gypsy - Mini skirt??? What sort of sad old trollop do you think I am? (That was a rhetorical question). No, it must have been the angle of the camera. Demure is my middle name. Just ask Vally.

Yes!, Mini skirt Missy!!..
I see in this picture you have carefully placed yourself behind the chair to cover up any evidence of said 'MINI SKIRT!'..
Well, Margie Demure, I think you looked Tres Chic, mini skirt or nay..

Glad you're back MD!....

Haha Marige.....as you will always be to me..

Wonderful to see you here again, and we are still buzzing with the warmth of that terrific day in Paris with all of you.

What a special family! I am now scheming busily - not just dreaming - about trips to Australia.

Love the picture of the reclamation of Oz. It looks most symbolic.

And Gypsy, Margie is absolutely, definitely and completely demure....hehe...so the mini skirt was? Well, I'm not telling...

Hi Margie!

Welcome back home! Well, maybe a bit funny to wish this seeing as you live on the other side of the planet, but it's the thought that counts!

Looking forward to hearing lots about your adventures in Europe!

Speaking of Rachel: you don't need a myspace account for the forum. Just go to www.rachelfuller.org and register there. Rachel actually has a blog there (the 'blogs' link in the upper right corner).

I don't really know anything about why she closed down the ITA site, but I'd guess it was simply because it had run its course - it was for the live In The Attic show after all.
