Hello all. Just a very quick update to let you all know that we are still alive and still planning on leaving!

We are very much so, and in fact more and more of our time is spent working on our trip. But because Ollie is now joining Jenny in working long hours in the office and also training hard for the JOGLE there is not much spare time to spend on the website. Things are now getting to the point where we will soon have to back our ideas with hard earned cash, and hence ideas such as driving through China are being discussed until late at night. But don't worry, we are only discussing the route and not whether to go or not. More of this in the next update.

On Sunday it is the London to Brighton cycle ride, Ollie's first big warm up ride. Once he has completed this he will endeavour to make a full update about our current plans, not just concerning getting to Australia, but also progress in our plans for after.

Finally before we sign off this quite short update, apologies to those of you who may have noticed that the website went down for a week. A bill hadn't been paid! Oops.

OK ... back next week with a proper update, piccies and all.

Love Jolly and Folly
