Hello Creaky! Hope all is going well for you, it looks like great fun. I'm sure it will get easier over time. Ref wondering about the name of 'wandering Jew' - this is what wikipedia has to say: "The Wandering Jew is a figure from medieval Christian folklore whose legend began to spread in Europe in the thirteenth century. The original legend concerns a Jew who taunted Jesus on the way to the Crucifixion nd was then cursed to walk the earth until the Second Coming." Yes, I am a geek, but at least you know now. Post some photos soon creaky, and tell us more about UK/NZ relations and history and stuff :-) Toot toot! Love you lots xxx

Hi Ginns,

Nice blog! Sounds like you're having a good time so far. Hope the boat trip and weather went ok. We're all good here - we miss you lots, but pleased that you're making friends and doing cool things (even though it sounds like hard work!) Hope the boots and are up to the job with all those hills. Some pics would be nice. Take care - love Mum, Dad and Flick.
