Cath Elliott Hi Anna, I was thinking about you as I was writing the annual report for church. Compared to your year of adventures not much has happened with us! The building project is slowly moving along though but no actual building happening yet! Canyon Swinging ???? Are you mad!! Hope your knee gets better quickly. Enjoy the rest of your adventure! Cath, Steve and Louise

cath Elliott Good to catch up on what you are up to. The scenery looks stunning! I'm not sure I fancy the ice climbing - I don't like heights but the ice tunnel looked fab. The chocolate brownie however is very appealing! love, Cath, Steve & Louise

Marjorie Great to read the latest blog. Glad you are still enjoying life out there in NZ. Lovely to speak to you on Skype and see you looking so relaxed. Take care. Marjorie x

Phil Hi Anna, looks like your having a fantastic time. Its Kingswood when we get back to school! Thanks for leaving everything so well planned. It'll be fun but it simply will not be the same without ya! "Ya b******!" Dalek is going well. See "Dalek has Talent"on YouTube Phil and family

Gillian Idulge ice cream parlour looks really cute. I want to work in an ice cream parlour!!!!!! Photos are beautiful, I had forgotten how green NZ was. Gillian

The Sheldrakes Hi Anna, It's amazing what you come up with when you type Anna Neave Blog into google....and there you were. The boys will be very jealous of your place of work. Looks like you're having fun. Take care. Ian

Marjorie It's official I have retired! Looking forward to pleasing myself for a little while. Going to the 'Dogs' tomorrow evening with all the staff. Hope you're not eating too much icecream. Take care Marjorie x

Cath Elliott Ahhh, the beaches, the sunsets, the ice creams, the envy! It sounds such fun! If I was working in the ice-cream parlour I'd be paying for a lot of excess baggage (i.e. me) on the way home! Enjoy yourself! lots of love, Cath, Steve (and Louise) xxx

Louise Elliott Hi Anna hope you are having a fun time! Did you get blasted on one of those blow-holes? I like the idea of sunny beaches. You are so lucky working in a ice-cream parlour! Are you going any wear else? If you are, where are you going? Have a fun time from louisexxx :-) ;-)
