Jamie
I've been thinking of you on your worldtrip and hoping you are having lots of fun, meeting pretty girls, and ladding about the place.
Take care.
Love
Guy

Hi Jamie - you're making steady progress by the look of things, so where are the next tranche of photos I wonder? Is it a huge pain to put them up on the site? Whilst waiting for you to post more pictures, your mother and I were taken (by our driver, whose name, spookily enough, is Keith) on an old persons' drive to a nursery on Good Friday - we hardly had to use our legs at all, which was lovely. Our driver became bored very quickly and had the temerity to yawn openly a couple of times, so we declined to give him a tip (that is other than to suggest he spoke only when spoken to, and NEVER to, under any circumstances, interrupt our conversation...). Anyway, what with all that sitting in the car, and tea and cake in your kitchern, D & I have expanded even more than was expected over the Easter break. How about you? Are you getting enough to eat? Have you seen any interesting wildlife this week (I don't mean edible)? xxxx Louise
P.S. Saw you'd left a message for Rosie - have you heard back from her?
Gabriella And Ed
Hi Jamie unfortunately you are not here to witness Guy's hilarity, you can imagine how silly and pathetic he is being yet everyone is still laughing at him. He has put on a couple more kilos since you last saw him. He has been in your room, tried on all your clothes (a bit small for him), broken your Playstation, listened to your music - what rubbish you listen to! He also ate all your food. He had a piss in the car on the way down in a water bottle and left an unfortunate surprise under your bed. By the way all of thsi was Gabriella (amazingly enough)

I'm afraid Guy passed away a few minutes ago, no I'm awake now. Hi Jamie I really love you and miss you. Have fun in New Zealand.
Jamie
Hi, i'm in NZ now, and christchurch is a great city, quite like an english city, i'm gonna be here till thursday morn now as the kiwi experience bus is full until then, but thats ok as there seems to be loads to do here and quite alot of it won't be open til tomorrow neway. so i head down south first before goin up to the north island, lookin forward to queenstown which is my second stop after christchurch, bye
Mum
Happy Easter love. Hope you got to NZ ok, you should try to see Granny's friend as I gather she is quite a cool old lady and will certainly give you a nice meal! You have her number.
It is a nice sunny spring day today, perfect for easter sunday, which we are spending entertaining the Chalet family to roast lamb. Dad is away so can't ask him over (to cook it) !
Neil and the kids are at Granny's and are coming here for the night en route home tomorrow, so will be nice to see them.
Will go an get your money out of Halifax on tues and put on your Amex card, - can't believe you have spent so much already - you really should be a bit careful as you are only 1/3 of the way through your trip. Enough nagging now. I am sure you know the score.
We still miss you and are dying to see your next load of photos.When you can get them to up/down load. I never know which is which.
Lots of love xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hey... you never know...you might bump into Celia when you're in NZ!
Oh yeah, it's Easter today, so HAPPPY EASTER!!!
Jamie
Hi, thanks for your mesages chalet boys nd toby, i di see the result that was before i left unfortunately. I got the bus up from Canberra to Melbourne yesterday, which was such a long and slow journey, it took nearly 9 hours. Melbourne is a very friendly and big city. I did some of the mandatory sight seein today and am now lookin forward to NZ.

Martin Fulham
Hi Jamie,
Suddenly thought you might not have heard about the Fulham Chelsea result. It was 1-0 to the boys in Fortress Fulham. Apparently we dominated the game for all three halves and were unlucky not to win 9-0.
If you bump into a guy in Melbourne named Bruce remind him he owes me a pint. You can't miss him - he's got an Aussie accent.
When you get to the exotic isles of tropicana can you post a few, sorry, alot of photos of pretty girls on the beach. Not for me you understand. Harry is doing a project on the local flora and fauna. I think that's their names.
I'm off for a rest now.
Come on you Chelsea
Mum
Hi Jamie.
Thanks for posting that message, at least we know you're still alive!
Glad to hear you have met some cool people and having fun - it sounds as though you have settled in to Ozzie life!
Would be nice to get an e mail or something when you have a minute (not nagging honestly!).
I understand from Joanna that you are headed back to Sydney tomorrow and then off to melbourne and thence to NZ - is that right?
I will try and call you again at the weekend - it's a question of geeting the time these days, at a time when you are not asleep.
It's pouring here, as ever ,although we had a brief glimpse of spring at the weekend.
We are now staying here for Easter, Granny hasn't got room for us after all, so will have a quiet one and maybe see Neil and the kids on the monday, on their way back to France. We will keep your Easter egg here for you!
Keep in touch and let's see some more photos when you have time.
Lovexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Mum
Hi Jamie,
We tried to call you today but no answer, nor to texts - I assume if you are in rainforest, probably no signal - hope that's the case and not a more sinister explanation.
You sound as though you are making the most of your trip, you have seen things already that I will never see in my life - you lucky thing.
Hope you are not being too extravagent with your money, but you can get a job when you get back, you might as well enjoy every minute of it now !
Ed is back from his trip, so the quiet and tidy house is once again ringing with his various noises (you know what those are), ping ping of constant texts, cereal bowls everywhere and piles of dirty laundry. but secretly i missed it all!
Dad has gone to France again, for about 10 days, but I think he will email you from there.
Everyone sends loads of love, including Granny A who said she was thrilled with your post card - well done! She read it to me on the 'phone in case I hadn't heard from you, bless her. She is concerned that you will not arrive in NZ until her cousin, Elizabeth has left for her hols - will that be a problem? Were you planning to stay with her ?
Love youxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
