I know this is not a philatelic heading however my daughter (now 22 years old) is leaving Australian to work in England for an indefinite period of time. Nicky is my only child so to say that I will miss her is a huge understatement, however she is going with one of her best friends and will meet up with other friends who are already working over there. If you telephone my office and I am a bit sad over the next few months please cheer me up, as always I will throw myself into my work so you stamp collectors watch out! Enjoy your adventure Nicole xxx
