it's all looking fantastic - I'm really jealous Emily I heard that the driving was not as tricky as Italy!
We did nip off to Turkey at half term which was nice.
very busy here - Harriet you wouldn't recognise it any more - Simon, Michelle. Katie and Sarah have all left! Busy recruiting so we can keep up with all the work.
Had a great week end with your Mum, Dad and Ed although Alex wants to do all her homework outside now like Ed. Dominic has just come back from a week in France with the school - he seemed to have a good time - it was certainly a good week for Alex.
Take care and keep posting the pics

Will have to keep it short, just wanted to let you know I've not forgotten about you and am still enjoying reading your news.
Lots of love Bec xxx

Can't believe Andrew's actually washed his car!
Andy
Hello! thought Id make my debut on the message board. Sorry Ive been pretty bad at posting, no excuses- just been lazy.
Sounds like you are having a boss time. I would say Im really, really jealous but my life has been pretty exciting too recently. I have been doing some hard core travelling myself reaching such exotic locations as Leeds, Liverpool and Edinburgh. One of which I even had the added thrill of sitting an exam!
After such a whirlwind few weeks Ive taken tjings pretty easy this weekend- the highlight being washing my car.
Anyway keep on having a great time,
Andy
PS thanks for the post card

Hi, hope you are still enjoying the sights of NZ. We have just returned from a great weekend with Mike, Susan, Dominic and Alex (thanks to all, the journey home was v easy, good time to travel-Ed had to take a break after the journey!). The boys went to Wembley to see England v Brazil and Susan and I sat outside for a long time with a glass (or two) of white wine. It was a lovely weekend and we had a bbq on Saturday - v relaxing. I think Summer has arrived.
Ed was revising for his maths over the weekend and Alex could do one of the questions on a past paper, so my question: are standards falling?
Conservatory coming on and apart from the skirting board and the radiator, it is finished. Of course, your dad has been sitting in there everyday, marking exams in there and we had our tea in there tonight. It was lovely, apart from the cement mixer, piles of bricks, stone and rubble which we can look out onto! We are being cemented again (cos its not high enough) outside the kitchen so we wont be able to get in there tomorrow night - fish n chips again. We definitely need to get back to healthy eating after all the building work is finished.
Ed had geography (it was very hard, not what he was expecting!!) and maths today (very easy, nothing about what he had revised!!?) so at least they are over. English tomorrow (he was reading the dictionary tonight to learn some long words to make him appear intelligent!).
I'm off to bed now, lots of love, mum xxx

Hi, its anna here sounds like you're having a fab time. I got back from grandads yesterday, we went over for the night. This week is half-term so today I've got my friend over for 2 or 3 nights, how cool is that! Have you been bungy jumping yet? Where are you off to next? Can't wait to see you in the summer. Miss you, love you. Anna

So here we are back home in Liverpool. Had a great hol in Greece, all a bit browner and a bit bigger! Took Andrew back to York yeaterday, poor thing, straight into a week of nights. Then we went to Ossett. My word you are in for a surprise, it is looking really fab, if a little dusty!! But we had a great evening talking about our respective builders and assuring each other it would be all right in the end. Oh and we had a few drinks too.
The best bit about getting home , after your own bath and bed, is getting the post. It was great to get your card, so exciting that as soon as we had unpacked we felt the need to see your photies and blogs, Bernard a bit bemused by Ramsey Street, but I was very impressed. Yes we agree Sydney is amazing and you do have to keep pinching yourself that you are really there.
Have agreat time in NZ, do everything enjoy the fab scenery and watch the speed limits!!!!
