louise Hi Em, Looks so wonderful where you are , what an experience. Ive emailed you so have a look when you can. Still missing you. Wish you were home. Love you always Em, Louise xxxxxxxxx

Brian Hiya Emily. I've just been looking at your latest photos from N Zealand the whale pics are great. I grew up with a bloke who lives in N Z now he used to go there in the Merchant Navy and always jumped ship there only to be repatriated back to the UK. He finally got a trade in the UK and went to live there about 30 years ago, I've seen him a couple of times and he loves it there. I'm a bit concerned about you going out in rough places, you need to be streetwise Em and dont take any chances. I've got my op tomorrow and I'll be off work for a while (I'm not looking forward to being sliced by a surgeon) he may have hiccups. Anyway you take care of yourself and have a great time. Lots of love Brian xx

Cat Hey Emily! how's it going...just been reading your update...you're so lucky to still be on your travels. I arrived home on Friday and have already been back at work 3 days...which feels like a lifetime! I loved New Zealand, the scenery is amazing. Did another sky dive, and must have been having a funny 5 mins as did a bungy jump too..I have never been so scared in my life!!! Fiji was great too, managed to top up the tan! enjoy every minute of your travels....can't tell you enough how jealous I am...I want to go back! take care & keep in touch C xx

Mum Dearest Emily Sounds like your having a wonderfultime..Good!...the wind is blowing and its tipping down here..i dont mind that much as im settled for the night..another day tomorrow..but whos cares. I cant say im very pleased that u are thinking of staying over for 2 years..my Aunty Mary did that and then couldnt afford to return to England and spent the rest of her life over there..it just worries me that u might not return for good again. Everyone here is okay and the horses are well..penny is getting older every day and mostly refuses to go for short walks..but she seems happy enough... Love u lots...and love to Sarah...love Mum xxxx
