Geralyn Kewl you suhold come up with that. Excellent!

Pat and Graham Dear both, Glad you're still enjoying your trip. You see to have had all kinds of weather - just like here but with heat! We haven't been dancing much lately as we've travelling up to Carlisle to see Mum, who is very poorly and in hospital now. We're on 'standby' really. Hope to see you both when you return though. Folks keep asking when you're coming back - you ARE coming back aren't you?

john knight Now in very sunny Perth after a few cold and wet days in HK everyone is well and fully active. Travel to Ayers Rock tomorrow. Please forward this email to Dennis as we did not have time to talk before we left wish them a goof journey. thanks

Kath & Fred Thank you for your email & photos we had a good laugh and as you can imagine Fred was very impressed!. You seem to have been away for ages but how lucky you are to be missing this dreadful weather. Do hope that you have both kept well I expect you will be coming back with a lovely tan. Well enjoy the rest of your holiday,see you soon.

Pat & Graham Greetings! We're enjoying the Nottinghamshire sunshine! We've got floods everywhere. Dorothy and Robert have come to visit us today and had lunch. Everyone is well finally. Hope you're still enjoying your trip. You'll have nothing to tell us when you get back because we've seen it all already!

john knight Hope that you have left some water in Lake Taupo for us to see! Looks like you are still having a brilliant time, less than two weeks togo for us now J & C

colin knight post a photograph of shelia i would like to see what she looks like now i have not seen her in 40 years Oh and happy new year to you all

martine Hi both of you and happy new year. i've sent an email to thank you for james's wonderful presents! Hopefully you'vve got it. We had a fab time in the USA and will doubtless compare notes when you return. You're missing nothing here- its winter proper!

Pat and Graham Happy New Year to you both and everone you're with. We had a good New Year Eve's party at Basford - lots of people there and a good party atmosphere. Some of the beginners (and experienced ones) gave us a good cabaret a la 'Grease' complete with Teddy boy outfits and circle skirts etc for the girls. Kath's sewing machine must have been hot again! We headed home about 12.15 as we were struggling with our colds etc. and had a very quiet NY Day in doors. In fact, we've been here ever since except for food shopping. I'm off to the Drs on Monday. I've had enough. Enjoy yourselves while you can. We had snow in the North but none here for 1 day. Just cloudy and rain!

Pat and Graham Enjoy your good weather. It's been blustery, cold and now we're in for wet! Our Christmas Eve services went very well. Lots of people - no doubt having a good look at the new interior of the church. Unfortunately, Christmas has been spoiled by my hacking cough and now a full blown cold, so am not feeling wonderful. Had to cancel our visit to Gary's for Boxing Day. Looks like I might have shared it with Graham by today. We'll make an effort to get to the New Year's Eve dance but don't really feel like partying. Happy New Year to you both anyway. We'll be thinking of you at midnight. UK time that is!!!

Kath & Fred Glad that you are having such a good holiday and that everything is going so well for you. We are busy preparing for Christmas here and the weather is freezing cold, you are certainly in the best place! We have enjoyed looking at your photos and how nice that Neil has now joined you. Missing you at the dances, they are getting quite busy now with all the parties. Love to you both, Kath & Fred.

Mary Kelly So happy that you are seeing so much and having such a grand time. I'm sure hving your son there added significantly to your enjoyment. Continue to enjoy yourselves. Have a blessed and beautiful Christmas. Love, MK

Hercie I saw your pictures of the Hover Dam and Grand Canyon, they were beautiful and interesting. Hope both of you are having great time continuously in New Zealand together with Neil and Shiela & Mike. Oh how was your tour yesterday by the sea, west of Auckland? Love Hercie

Pat & Graham Glad to hear you've seen the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam. We can compare notes when you get back! It was strange last night at Ray's dance. You weren't there! Everyone was exchanging Christmas cards like crazy. We can now say that our church reordering has finished on time! Today was the final day. However, there is a 'snagging list' to work through next week, while we're cleaning and moving the furniture back in. I'm ready for another holiday already! Can we join you?

Mary Kelly So glad you had a safe and restful trip to New Zealand. I envy your relatives having so much time to spend with you. I really appreciate your spending time with us and hope that you will do the same in Carson City after we get settled. All is well here. Miss you already. Love, Mary
