Hello Susan, It's so nice to hear from someone else from Essex who is now living in Perth. We have been here 30 years and we live in Noranda. Where do you live? We originated from Walton-on-Naze Essex. Where did you come from? Best wishes Sylvia

Susan - I too was born in Essex (Chingford Mount) A LONNGG time ago!! Came to Perth with my family in 1970 and have only been back to England once - in '97. Have lived in Yanchep since 1989 and it is so close to heaven that when I die at least I won't have far to go! It's a hot week though - going to hit 38 by the weekend! Peter

Susan. Now Saturday evening and I see we got to 38 today. We were out on the beach by 7.30 this morning and had a good long walk. Was taking photos at the far end (Club Capricorn) and just missed treading on a dugite by about 12". The snake shot off in one direction and Betty shot off in the other. I was mesmerised!!

Hi Peter, just read your message. Too hot to sleep,and another hot day to come or should I say another hot week,well weeks really. I had a snake brought in to me by one of my cats a few years ago. She dropped it on the carpet in front of me! Managed to get it outside again thank god.Wasn't a pleasant experience. Sue

Susan. We lived in Shotgate, Nr Wickford until war broke out and by an amazing conincidence I recently was put in touch with a girl I went to school with in the late 1930's. We remembered each other well and in particular I remembered her father who ran the local boot and shoe repairing business. He was a friend of my parents. This world is definitely getting smaller!!

Hi Peter, hot enough for you today? I agree the world is really a small place nowdays. I've found lots of old friends and have started finding them for other family members now. Gives me something to do when its too hot outside. Have a nice day Sue
