Hey Little Sis,
Hope you are ok and keeping out of trouble, saw your recent photos and NZ looks amazing. Claire is really jealous that you saw Snow Patrol. We babysat Lucas last weekend, and i was left alone with him for the whole afternoon!!! i took him to see and feed the ducks, but we had to stop half way through as a big swan came over and nearly knocked me over, i was not very amused! Claire and i booked a snowboarding holiday in Canada last week so looking forward to going in April next year. Anyway missing you loads, remember to keep safe and look out foreach other.
Lots of love Big Bro and Claire xxx

Hi to both of you. Hope you have arrived safely in Christchurch. All ok here. Having Mon and Tuesday off this week as it is mine and Grandads birthday. We are going for lunch at Bettys and then in the evening Dad and I are going out for an Italian at Luigis. Should be lovely. Had a lovely time in Liverpool Yesterday. We must go there when you get back - a fantastic shopping centre and a very interesting city. We did the tour bus thing and a great lunch in an Irish bar. All good stuff. Uncle Dave spent the day with Grandad which was nice and he sends all his love. Ric has bought me some vouchers for the beauty spot - am going to book in for a nice facial!

Very slow at work still. Everyone is very unsettled but I am just praying for redundancy! - so is Linney. Spoke to her the other night. We were having a laugh and she sends all her love. Nana is making good progress after her tests. She hopes to see the surgeon in October. The operation should be done in the Spring so Dad and I feel a lot easier booking S Africa now for Jan.

Enjoy yourselves but please take care. No bungy jumping!

All our love to you both and kisses

Mum, Dad and Spice! (hope I have the right name!)
