Hey Dave,
We too are a recently arrived couple (Brizzy chick with English boy). Will be good for Glyn to meet another guy in the same boat as him.
See you Sunday!

Mrs D, perhaps you could get a huge St George Cross to fly so everyone knows where you are all at.

Whilst you are all meeting do the nude calendar. Let the natives think poms are totally off their rockers.

Could go down a storm in the UK given their obsession with "DIY Get a New Extreme Makeover in Burke's Backyard Downunder" type shows...I feel a film coming on, Julie Walters as Mrs D, Dame Judie as Pollyanna...

As for the salads, I was just planning on buying/making a green salad, some potato salad, coleslaw, cold boiled eggs & grated cheese - enough for everyone. If you can think of anything else or want to take one of those things off my list (except the eggs, Im trying to get rid of them LOL), just let me know
.PS. your friends are more than welcome to come along

Are you sure you want to see pics of Poms enjoying themselves on a beach in the sun.......might be an unrealistic picture and not portray how tough life really is over here....!!! You will have to view any photos with the famous rose-tinted specs!
