KIm Allfrey Hi Kim here We have come up to Bay of Islands for easter. Dont know if you guys heard about the major flooding the north got last week, major weather bomb massive floods!!!! Teresa and Dean werent too bad off, their back paddock was a lake for a few days. We are watching super 14 game and thought you might like to here that Crusaders are beating Western Force 41 nil and its not even full time yet. Hope you guys are well and smiling heaps. I went to the Te Aroha school reuion other week and it was cool to see everyone. A really geekie photo of Flo was amongst the display in the hall. Oh well take care and come home soon.

Jeremy Hi you two,Just read you latest blogs, sounds like you are having a great adventure.  Leon and Julie's wedding in late Feb was excellent, the lovely couple also got to spend thier first few hours of thier honeymoon with me travelling to Sydney (lucky aren't they). 

Cheryl & Mark Hi there,I have logged on @ work and we all stood around and had a look at most of the photos.  Really neat to see all that you are up to. Check your emails as I have just sent a longish one.  We had to laugh at the NY photos only becos you both look so rugged up in the winter wollies when we are all standing here in the heat...summer at last when Mar1 was the first day fo Autumn.  Well that's the global situation at present all areas are out of whack.  Good luck for many more happy travels.  See you in May.

Kylie Malone Hi guys!I am incredibly jealous of your meanderings around the globe! I'm going to fiji for a week from tomorrow, but planning a more exciting trip later in the year to maybe turkey/morocco... can't decide yet but probably will end up doing an intrepid trip for at least part of it! Sounds like you have a lovely case of concussion Gerard. Hope the fun continues for you in Canada!Love Kylie

Jeanine and co   Great to see the photos, our computer is a bit slow so have not seen them all.Finally having a great summer, has not rained much for over a month. I heard it was really cold where you were.This blog is a really good idea though sometimes we are unable to get in to it as our computer can't cope.Mum is good, seems to be coping quite well. Really looking forward to our trip.Keep up the good workCheers the Blacks
