Hi Grace! Just thought we'd send you another message to say hi - loving the blog still! Libby's mum says hi as well. We had a fantastic time in Dublin, not quite as exciting as your adventures though! Things are all good in Birmingham - we are both pretending that we're working hard (well I am, I think Mike actually IS working hard!) xxxxx

Still more adventures! Hope it is getting warmer, here it is getting decidely colder! Caravan has a slight leak, so Grandad is having to take some inside out and replace it. He always likes a challenge though!

Edmund and Christine are coming down tomorrow, as they are off to Australia at the end of the month! Two days after Louise is going. Luv as always Granny and Grandad XXXXXxxxxxxxx

Hello Grace! Matt told me about your blog today so I've only just had a chance to read it all and must say it sounds like you're having an amazing time!! So glad it has all worked out for you - though also a little bit jealous..

Keep us updated with your travels and I look forward to seeing some more photos soon!

Lots of love from all of us :-) x

p.s. love Hannah's message below!

Grace,

Colleen Rooney had her baby today and called it 'Kai Wayne'. Yes 'Kai Wayne'.

Auckland is obviously is a contrast! Took Alice and Jack out today to Owl and Otter Sanctuary. Otters great. Jack more interested in doing the quiz as we went round as there was a prize!

Luv as always

Granny and GrandadXxxxxxxxxx

Hey Grace, Fiji sounded amazing and fab! i was telling my fijian friend and she was reading about it! she said she lives on one of the islands (the biggest one) well anyway hope you have a great time in New zealand, sounds great! Enjoy, shame about the weather! hehe Trains are always better than planes as you can see out of the window :D hehe miss you :D Laura and Rob xxxx

LOL - Oh Gracie you do make me laugh - go away Fijan woman I don't want your jewellery! Let us know what New Zealand is like when you've settled down! Can't wait...

I hope all is well. Roy told me about your blog tonight.

Richard and I were wondering if you had seen any of The Wild Thornberrys on your travels? Particularly the one with the big teeth ;)

xx

I should have said that we had a super time in Norwich with Richard. Good site, we went into the city for two days, and had an evening meal in a village pub! Journey didn't seem too long except for the M25.

Luv as always G and GXXXxxxx

Well Grace, you write such wonderful descriptions that we can almost feel what it is like. I would love that sort of thing, good job you have done so much snorkling! Three super sunny days in Swanage, cold nights. Grandad picked mushrooms for breakfast!

Luv as always Gand G
