To our good friends and followers,
Our page and linked pages were 'hacked' a day or so ago.
We have gone through the sheer panic of not having access to our info and our friends 'details' and now are in the process of reinstating accounts.
If something does seem like me it may not be (ie friends photos populated with strange faces, and weird 'likes' etc etc....even down to following a multi page post daily of cooking 'recipes' )- now you'll know, that seriously would not be me - Ross yes, me no!!!
Please err on the side of caution on all our accounts personal and business, for now, until I am sure we have beaten the 'bugs'. Robyn & Ross.

Check this out, all Aussies travelling to the UK - new rules!!!
Australian travellers will soon have to seek permission to enter the UK under changes designed to strengthen border security.

Under the scheme first launched last November, those intending to travel to the UK who do not require a visa would need permission to travel before arrival, in the form of an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA).

The UK government announced the scheme would be expanded to include travellers from non-European countries, including Australia, later this year. ETA applications will open on November 27, however, not be required to travel until January 8, 2025.
