We went up the Bell Tower in Perth on Tuesday which contains the bells from St Martin's-in-the -Field ( of 'you owe me 5 farthings' fame ), a gift from London several years ago. We visited Fremantle on Monday sailing down the Swan River from Perth. It took about 1 1/2 hours and this trip was a gift from our Oz family to us for Christmas! We ended up in Fremantle Prison of course. Fortunately due to good behaviour we were allowed out!!! It's now New Years Eve - where has 2008 gone. We are going out tonight into Perth to watch the fireworks at midnight in Gloucester Park which is right on the riverside - of course we are taking our pic-nic of snacks and bubbles (champagne for those non Oz speakers!!). Happy New Year to all our family, friends, readers and others!!! Here's to a good 2009. xxxxxx

Happy 2009 to all of the family in Oz! We're defrosting a duck for New Year's Eve and going out for a walk in the sunshine ( only 22 F) !
Friends coming round later... pics to follow. xxx
Happy New Year to you all. Saw the year in in 20+C beside the Swan and watched some amazing fireworks.
Love to all, Phil Hils D and S and all!
