Hi J and V. South Island sounds fantastic, whales and glaciers just my sort of outdoor fun. Don't know about your mum James. It says that the sea can become quite choppy when your out watching the whales! Sat today and thought about N.Z. and can't believe we are coming out in about 5 weeks time. Most travel arrangements are in place now, I read any information that I can about the Lions Tour in the newspapers and the excitement seems to be building.As usual before the tour there are injures and Martin Corry's recent red card sounds if Wilkinson has made a step towards going stillsome distance to go though. Been to work in mum's school this afternoon. Just chilling now mum's in the bath you know what that means! All for now Dad I hear the water!

Hey you two!!! Well i'm back at uni now and exams start soon so it's well busy at the moment can't wait for summer to get here n then at least I can go outside!!! Still looks like your having an awesome time doing lots of fun things! Bet is was really nice to see some people from back home, just hope your not too home sick! looking forward to hearing all the stories from the horses mouth when you return!!! If you don't fall too in love with the place that you just can't leave!!! Not too much gossip here, still with dave and things are good. Had a strange weekend with random ex's showing up on my doorstep (yes that would be lee!!!). But other than that things are just the same.. Oh no I lied I got a new hair style, although not many noticed so I don't know if that really counts as news but hey there you go!!!!
Anyway I have to go and have a lazy workout at the gym!!!! Take care of yourself (and kermit from the sounds of things!!!) love claire xxx

Hi James & Vicky - Saw your Mum and Dad at Widden last week James, they told us about your injury, hope it mends soon. It won't be long until they come out to see you, make sure your have some Tui in the firdge!!! We keep trying to persuade Phil he should come and see you both. We hear you have been offered some interesting jobs James, something about going out at night with a gun! You really seem to have settled into the lifestyle! By the way the Colts got through to the County Cup Final, not a bad season for Widden. We will let you know how they get on. Take care both of you. XX

Hi Vicky and James, So glad to see you've all met up and all looking so well (I guess James is smiling through the pain - hope you're on the mend). Really strange to see you with Nick and Nick on the other side of the world - wish so much we could all be there with you! Hope your troubles with Kermit are soon resolved. Take care and love from everyone here.XX

No news on Maori tickets the 4 I was bidding for were withdrawn and are back up and split into two lots one with Meads rugby book the other a rugby ball.

Hope all is well. Dad
