We also want to thank all the commenters and readers of our blog who have made Postcards from Sydney such fun and helped us stay in touch with those we miss in the US, UK and Sweden.  Finally, a big thank you to Shirley who held the fort back home and looked after house, home and cat.  Good on ya Shirl!

Happy New Year and see you soon!

Our family is going to Sydney for the Holidays and we are going to keep an online journal – a blog – so if you want to, you can check out what we are doing.

Please keep coming back to read – we are planning to blog every day or two and add pictures of what we’ve been up to and where we’ve been. Please add a comment or two – we really want to hear from you. Just click where it says Comments (or No Comments) in blue below each blog entry and follow the instructions from there. Greta will publish the comments when she logs in. You can also read and comment on other people’s comments!

Also, there are some links to Aussie websites which you may find useful in the Blogroll section to the right.

Hope you like our blog!

Love Greta and Jonas and Lena
