Hey guys!
Just thought I’d let you know I finally got off my ass and did my blog for Cambodia, actually that’s a lie. I’m at work and they’re paying me to doss about so I thought I’d do it and get paid to do it!
Go to http://cyalater.co.uk/2007/06/04/cambodia-phnom-penh/ for the blog if you fancy a read. I was in Cambodia nearly 3 months ago so I’m very far behind. Still, better late than never eh?
It’s starting to get cold down here in Sydney, but it’s still warm enough to go to the beach. I was on Bondi beach yesterday with some friends getting tossed about by some massive waves. So much fun! I think when the weather gets warmer I’ll learn how to surf (properly!) so that my time on the beaches is not a complete, self indulgent waste of time. Ha!
Missing you all loads

Hey guys, just thought I’d give you an update on what’s going on!
I’m still in Sydney, Oz! It’s great here - definitely a city you could stay
in permanently. I’m sitting in my office in the Department of Premier and
Cabinet which is my new casual job! A friend of mine in Sydney who I met
along the way sorted it out for me. All I have to do is listen to the radio
for news and minister interviews - that’s the bulk of my job! Very
exciting!
Anyway, I’m going to update my website in the next few days. So keep
checking! There’s a lot to put on and some new photos. I’ve stopped doing
touristy things for now and will do so for the next couple of months whilst
I work to afford the next part of my journey around Australia.
The hostel I’m staying at is pretty cool , we have arranged nights where they take us out
with a bar tab and free drinks. The night life’s really good and I’ve had a
few drunken nights..
Anyway speak soon

My Husband and I wanted to say a big thank you for making our special day the best day of our lives.
The day ran smoother than we could ever have imagined. The food was fantastic & the staff couldnt have done more for us.
All our guests thouroughly enjoyed themselves and there wasn”t a single guest that didnt say what a beutiful venue we had chosen.

Thank you again, Best Wishes.

By Emma and Colin
Dear Heather & Paul.
Some little time has now passed since the wedding of our daughter Louise to Steve, and we feel its time, now that we have recovered a little bit from the excitement, that we write to express our grateful thanks to you and your staff. Everybody made a vital contribution to what turned out to be a truly wonderful day.
Everybody who attended the wedding reception and the evening disco were unanimous in their praise for the beautiful setting of Blakelands for a wedding.
The food for the main meal and the buffet was of excellent quality and quantity, most obligingly and courteously served by your staff.
The Whole day was a wonderful success so once again many thanks to everyone at Blakelands.With best wishes for your continued success.
Jacqueline & Jim
