Hi Guys, Hope you are all well and coping OK with the time zone difference. Good luck for the International Choir Festival performances this week. Should be a great experience for you. It is freezing here in Melbourne with the day starting with 0-3C. Hope you have some nice sunshine in Italy! Ingrid (Emeric's mum)

Well, CONGRATULATIONS YVM for winning the 2nd price in the Llangollen Int. Eisteddfod!! Congratulations to you all and to your caring entourage and supervisors on reaching this achievement. Many thanks for the nice photos from Hungary and Slovenia. Saw them yesterday as have been checking the blog often eagerly waiting to hear and see more from you. Enjoy the rest of the tour and have a safe return back to home. Please say hi from all of us to Emeric (we are at Falls Creek this week but there isn't much snow around so he did not miss much!). Take care and bye for now. Ingrid (Emeric's mum)
