Well, just thought i'd update you on the weather in Cardiff seeing as everyone else is, it s snowing here too, except it's decided to stick a little here. Just come back from town, met Kerri and Claire McRae for lunch and a bit of shopping. Now i'm at uni trying to sort out a piece of coursework I failed, turns out I might not have failed it after all! Doh! Lecturers are so dumb! Anyway, hope all's well, and I hope Kermit makes it all the way to Hawkes Bay!!! Good Luck! Love Kate x

Hello fellow travellers, sounds like you are having a good time.
glad that you have managed to top-up your sun burn, face done just body and legs to go. not a bad effort for only a couple of days away.
went into town with the boys last night had a good night out.
just about to go for a game of squash and then a trip to the gym.
