Addie, The big news here is that "Screwfix" are opening a branch in Crawley next week so we won't have to use their mail-order. I'm off travelling again next week in the opposite direction to you, visiting Los Angeles and Houston. Keep having fun and keep the post cards/photos coming as we always look forward to looking at them. Love Dad x

Hi peeps....looks as though you are having a fab time - looking at the pics I recognise so many of the places and views which brings back nice memories. Although I'm loving my job......I wish I was still travelling!! One day I will set-off again - I'm taking tips from your website of places I haven't visited but would love to. Enjoy:-)

Hey guys, the landscape in New Zealand is beautiful! I am incredibly envious! You would not like to have me with you though- I would be getting far too excited about the rocks and the rivers, and I'd make you learn the names of all the landforms! He he, fun aren't I?! Not too much to report from here, infact I'm drowning in them- reports that is. I have to sort all of them out for my tutor group, so that's about three hundred! Guess what I shall be doing this weekend! Weather is improving but they keep cutting the field which plays havoc with my hayfever. Keep having and take care, Love Nikki xx

hey campers hows life?? just been looking at the pics, they all look fantastic i wish i were there!!! the weather is getting better not alot to report other than that to be fair. I passed my seniour course and now im in charge of the bars look out company haha!! take care both of you look forward to the next batch of pics bye!!!

Howdy A! Sorry I 4got to send u bday wishes (pls dont be mad at me, I'll make it up to u when u come back!). So hope u had a happy one. Spectacular pics and great experiences ye both are having. but where are the furniture pics A? u not spotted any designs that would surpass BCUC standards? keep it going and go for gold! catch ya laters /graham (tings fell apart in Dorset - just like my furniture - now working in London!).

Thanks so much for your card sent from Sydney. We are pleased that Adam had a good birthday. Heard the details from Mum T. Shame the weather is not too good at the moment in N.Z. but it is their autumn and you would get fed up with good weather all the time!! We had a very nice time (only 11 days) in Italy. We were in a group of 36 and we mixed quite well. It was a Saga holiday so there were no back-packers! You are certainly using the facilities of this web-site. Your photos give a very good impression of your activities. Continue to have a good time
Love to both of you xxxx

Addie, I have some dad news for you!! LOST is starting again on Tuesday, however, Mum says she will record it for you. Love Dad

What a birthday, Ad!! It sounds marvellous!
Glad you managed to go to the Blue Mountains, it is so incredibly vast and beautiful - so many memories to treasure.
We've just visited the Buxton Opera House to see an amateurish performance of 'The King and I' - lovely costumes, a great setting - but not as wonderful as Sydney Opera House, I'm sure!
Looking forward to seeing your photos and postcards of New Zealand.
Love Robert & Linda xxx

There are two new postcards to look at one from Sydney 25th April (Ad's Birthday) and Blue Mountains.
