Hey all,

Glad grandma has moved in, can't wait to see the new place. I can imagine Honey and marvin trotting round there, ha ha. Missing having cats and dogs around. I borrowed a friends dog a couple of days ago to go for a walk, i was missing peggy!! Loving NZ, its an amzing place, and have made some really good friends too, can't belive 3 months has nearly passed already.

Thanks dad, for jane's number, i'll give her a call soon. lost my mobile phone today though so will need to get a new one. Quite expensive out here too.

I think everyone should experience NZ.

Hi Hazel

Hope all is going well with you and you are still enjoying being with the kiwis. Grandma's house is coming together and she is unpacking boxes daily - it is a great bungalow for her and just right - she has been like a kid in the candy store getting it all together - has kept us all busy thats for sure. David is looking to move to Southampton so soon it will be just Lewis and I rattling around the house - oh plus the dog and 2 cats! Honey has grown so much she is like a string bean in looks but more like a jumping bean in personality - she is so energetic - she absolutely loves being able to run round the corner to Grandma's house using tailed by Marvin shouting his head off! OK you take care, lots of love Anne and Lewis xxx

Hi Hazel,

Can't e-mail you at mo, cos at Anne's, but will drop you a line on thursday evening when i get back. You have been out doing a lot of cycling by the sounds of it, i bet it's great in the warm weather. Hope all is well, talk soon. lots of love mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hello,

Yeah i keep meaning to buy a phone card, i'll get one soon as possible. On saturday i did a 7 hr epic mtb ride, reckon we covered around 90 km, then on sunday i rode in the morning for about 3hrs at a steady pace and in the afternoon rode up at dirtpark and did some jumps. Feel quite tired now. Defo up for 24-12 race. you should do that world marathon race, its not hard terrain at all, just a long hill near the end. I did the 60km race last year and it was really good, hard but do-able. When is that? i'd be up for entering that again. Saw two vdubs yesterday, a orange bay and a gorgeous green+white splitty. Think i'm going to have a easy night tonight, might be going DH ing tomorrow over in queenstown.

Hope pompey win, espically against ManU, though when we've played them before we usually end up drawing. I'm going to be wanaka for 2 more weeks, then i'll start my roadtrip. you need to give me Jane's number, i've asked mum and simon for it.

ok, talk soon

Hi Hazel

I have just been looking at the Wanaka web site, and have been looking at all the fantastic photographs. It really is a very scenic place, very majestic looking.

Hope all's well with you, we have brilliant sunshine today, and have had to pull all the blinds in the office, just can't win. I am off to Grandma's tomorrow to help her move into her new home, she is very excited.

Take care, hope ribs are mending. Lots lv mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Haz

How is your weather, has it stopped raining, as it just keeps on coming here, 40 days and 40 nights I think.

Gemma has got work experience at Penguin Books in the publishing dept in London how good is that. Matt said to me she was working for Penguin Biscuits!

Alphie has found her self an new place to reside, next door. I had to go round and ask if they had seen her as I had not seen Alphie for a few days, and yes there she was all sprawled out on their sofa, looking as though butter would'nt melt in her mouth. They did not know who she belonged to and called her fluff ball! So I gave them the history of the little minx and brought her back home. You should have seen the way she loked at me enough to say I don't want to live with you any more. That's all the thanks you get for 12 years of dedicated cat loving. I told Alphie that Hazel would never forgive me if she left home.

Well dad is in the garage building up a bike for Matt, using one of his old frames with Wakies on the side. We are getting him bits for this bike for his Birthday.

Grandma's house at Fishery Lane has now been sold and the new people have moved in, I still find it odd when I think about it, a bit sad really, but hopefully Grandma should here about Bosmere Rd soon, she sends you her love, and said she will try and get a message put on for you.

Well chick that's all for now, take care, keep safe love mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Haz

I'm so glad your on the mend, I was very worried. Yes my foot is getting better, although I have been going to the gym all week and it is aching a bit this morning and turning a funny colour! the bruising is coming out I hope.

Are you back working again, hope you havan't lost your job over it.

Talk soon love mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hey mum, that's not good about your ankle. Have you got crutches? are you able to go into work?

yeah i'll get some piccies soon of my car, unfortuantly i didnt get any piccies of the dh race, i forgot my camera. annoying i know. My ribs are slowly getting less painful which is good.

take it easy
