DARN....... Blondie how diappionting, I would have loved to meet you. I expect that you were  in NSW.
I'm working up to a trip home, if I can convince my OH. The more people I meet & talk to in the chat room the more home sick I feel. I would love to walk through my Ancestors past, I
passed through  Glasgow in 1995, but knew of noone to contact. I recently made contact with my 1st cousin, so that will be a good excuse to return. I felt like I belonged in Scotland & suffered homesicknes for 2 years after returning to AUS.  I hope my chatroom friends & I will meet in the near future.
A real Scots girl at heart,
cheerio for now, Phyllis Huntersjoy.    :'(     :)

Hi again,

Not just NSW we did have four days in Sydney but we drove to Canberra and met Eds and Melbourne to meet Liz Oz and up the Ocean Drive to Aderlaide then flew to Peth.  I love OZ

Hi all

Thanks Joe for organising our wee get together. We had as always a fab time.

I found a few wee golden nuggets in the Poor Records which was fab . Now I know the agony of having to wait for the postman. I gave the young lad next to me a bit of a fright when I suddenly stood up, hand in the air going'Yes!'. (Was a real When Harry Met Sally moment for those of you who have seen the film). Mind you turns out my gt gramps bro was a right bad lad. Did a runner owing his landlady to Glasgow and was seen to be under the influence of 'intoxicating liquor' . Now I know where I get it from!

Was great to see everyone and meet new folks too. Can't wait for the next one in the autumn.

Ann & jules
