Thankyou for the welcome wishes for being back home. We were away for 6 weeks touring Italy, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France and Dubai. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed every minute of it.

It was wonderful to catch up with a Cutie friend Christief in Germany and I thank her very much for her hospitality. Here we are sitting at a cafe outside of the train station at Rheinfelden.

I am now back in the swing of the "routine" day to day things and can't believe it has gone by so fast.

Love and blessings Chris

Hi Janet, because Australia is so far away us Aussies make the most of our holidays. We did it 4 years ago too, but next time we will only go for 4 weeks. Love Chris
