We've all been really well - and that's with a pre-schooler too. I had an ear infection and Amelia one nasty cold - a lot less than we would have had in a UK winter that's for sure

I worked in Sydney for 4 months each year three years running some 15 years ago - each time I arrived I was off work for a week with colds etc. Couldn't believe it!
