Happy New Year Ben! xxx

Hi mate, Glad you got there OK. Lookin forward to seeing some photos! Speak to you soon.

Happy New Year everyone and all the best for 2007! I had a great day on New Years Eve, please checkout my photos the fireworks were amazing. I will have to try and guess what Nanna's present was Auntie Ann but I bet it was rude - glad you all had a nice Christmas. Allison I have been texting Emma but her flight was mucked up so I didn't actually see her, I was gutted was really looking forward to seeing her, I don't think she even got to her hotel before the New Year came in. Glad you enjoyed Christmas and hope you had a good time seeing in the New Year!

A Very Happy New Year to you Ben, we hope it is memorable for all the right reasons, not just the First day of the year, but all year through. Lovely to see your Mum when she came to collect your Nanna. We had quite a few visitors over the Christmas week so your Nanna was in her element showing them her present from Scott - daren't tell you what it was, other than to say it was something for her posh, pink bedroom. We're expecting stormy weather for tonight - not surprising, it is winter here. Lots of Love to you and Emma. Enjoy Australia, we did. Ann & Colin.XX

Hiya, Late Happy Christmas, and early Happy New Year. glad you meeting up with Em, can you pass on my love to her as I can't contact her, my texts won't go thru for some reason, and tell her to write! I've only had 2 texts in 2wks!! not even replied to my mail, so not sure if she's even got them! anyway....... saw your mum yesterday, was great to see her, she even helped Cam muck his pony out!! We had a quiet but good Christmas, and going to Scarborough to a hotel that 1 of Dave's friends runs for New Year, really looking forward to it....love to see the sea in winter! Bad forecast too! anyway, better help cam, he's cooking tea tonight! Take care, big hug, and kiss, and pass the same onto Em for me please. XX
