Hey guys we are back from south island. Photos are being done now as we speak. as for the Queenstown police(aka nick&nick) they did catch up with us and made sum very worried people happy again. (revenge will be sweet).

Hi J and V Just looking at the message board great to read Mike and Shay. We owe tham a few messages.Mum is really starting to look forward to coming out thinking about having the haircut and putting things out to pack, only 4 weeks! Looking forward to seeing the photos from S Island. Bankholiday this weekend and going down to Cornwall some good weather forecasted could be down there. Nothing planed except 'Trago' but we will make the most of the sun and the cornish beer/cider. See you now Dad.

Hi there
At the moment I am in the office on a pretty miserable morning in England. School is as busy as ever but this weekend is a bank holiday so we are going to see Gran and Gramps.Hopr the weather clears up a bit beforehand.
I am really starting to feel like coming out is real and not some distant dream. Think about anything you amy want from home both of you and providing there is room in my case I'll bring it!!! South Island sound amazing da has been sold on a visit I think. Well talk to you more when we get there. Hope you are all keeping well and looking forward to seeing you loads of love mum xxx

Hi James and Vicki, Hope you are both well, as usual not alot happening in Devon Kirsty had her last scan at bristol last week all seems well with the baby so she will be able to have this one in Barnstaple so that is good - not long to go now. Saw Gran and Grampy on Sunday they are both fine. Mum says to send her love to you both. You send like you are having a great time Take Care Love Linds

Hi Guys!
Glad to see you are getting around the country a bit and taking in the sights. The South Island weather must be a little chilly at this time of year - hope you packed warm gear. How's Kermit? Has he not been too well lately? There certainly are some very twisty roads around the Queenstown area, especially the one with the Cardrona Hotel on it - between Wanaka and Queenstown -(awesome views from the top though). We understand the Police have given up the chase!
How's the collarbone James? Well on the mend we hope....will you be playing again soon?
Just as Rob and Car are counting the weeks....we are too! Really looking forward to seeing them - are you two going to be in Auckland for their arrival? Not long now!We will be there bright and early on that day!
We managed to get out in the boat again last weekend for some fishing.....beautifully calm, no wind - caught 6 fish! Looking forward to catching up with you both soon. Cheers, Mike and Shay, Karli and Mitch

Hi J and V . Hope the Queenstown police didn't catch up with you, don't know how that got on there have a few gesses though! Maybe your back on North Island and they've lost the track. Anyway good to hear you maybe on your way back up home and maybe some rugby to come, don't go back too soon but i'm sure the club won't encourage it anyway. Seen Fids message, good news for the Don a little one sided but good to watch. Have agood trip home Dad.

Alright mate how are things? Hows the collar bone? Just to let you know that we got the big win on sunday in the county cup final!!!!!! We beat Lydney 43-3 and to top it off i got on the big score sheet!!!! Well i will speak to you soon and thank you for the post card! Fingers crossed if i can get enough money i might be able to come out! All the best fiddly

This is your finall warning to stop speeding along the windy roads of Queenstown. Please slow down.

HI J + V . Not to be out done by the rest of the family must write my own message. It's a bit late and mum has left me to improve my i.t. skills, mustn't be too long, going down to see nana soon! You've got me interested in S. Island now it wasn't on the itinery before but maybe a trip to Kaikoura whale watching might be on the cards if we can fit it in. Each week goes by so quickly and even mum is getting quietly excited about coming over, even went to mataland today - Friday! It's the county cup final on Sunday the Don are playing Lidney at the Prince of W. Chelt so going over to watch. The word is that they want to finish o na high, lets hope so. The last time we saw Coops he was suffering from concussion, Lee was not too happy when Browner suggested he played for the seniors. I gave him your mobile number hope maybe he's been in touch. When do you get back home, good news about the shoulder lets get back training. The Maori game is getting some press coverage overhere, certainly going to be a test for the Lions. All for now better go and get some kip. Dad

Hey guys, back home for the weekend, it's getting more and more tedious! Anyway, Margie and John are round tonight, so another alchoholic weekend! Then I think a long needed trip to the Warehouse is in the offing for tomorrow night! Not the Pit, although we were very tempted cause Phil Mitchell from Eastenders is down there tonight, and it has been renamed again, it's now Uptown Downtown! Yay, what a change that makes! So glad we have a choice of Cardiff or Stroud these days! Ha Ha! Put your tickets on Ebay tonight James, Dad and Dan have been bidding for them for you so they look good! Only thing is, we thought you had 4, and Dad thought you had 2, so we've revised the listing to say 2, but if there are 4, let us know cause we'll get so much more money for them. Anyway, better make a move and get a beer down me, ooh, one last thing, might be spending my summer at Fat Camp!! Ha Ha! Know I need to lose weight, but it's not actually for that reason, I might have a job there coaching kids at sport! I'll lose weight at the same time though, Bargain! Take care, keep us in the know! Kate and Dan x

Hi there both, It's Friday thank goodness and the weekend ahead. South Island sounds really good and glad to hear you're having such a good time. How is the camper van? Dad is reallt into planning the trip and his IT skils have improved in leaps and bounds. He spends more time on the internet than I do on spider solitaire!!
Looking forward to seeing you both and counting down the weeks and days.5 weeks today we leave.
Lots of love to you both and think about anything you may want us to bring out, we already have the extension leads! love you lots, mum
