cheers for the replies - well I look forward to Dawn's (pesky, techie things allowing).
Ginabridget, it's really interesting that you've felt like this in England and Aus - sounds like you're right, I'll just have to make that effort! In fact we're only planning to go for a year so we'll have to be super super friendly otherwise may not get through that stage before coming back!
Sorry no gossip at the mo - might have to wait till I know you all a bit better, I'm shy y'know
