Hey Boys, Wilma!

I really hope you are well.

I think you will have played your match now so just to let you know we are thinking of you. Let us know how it went i'm sure you adapted to their style of play- what a learning curve for you. Helped by the new boots Willyboy?

Things here are good, Mum's away with her team as they qualified for the finals and dad is just back from spain.

You boys it's mothers day on the 18th of March ok?!!A week tomorrow (Sunday). A gentle hint for you all there.

Hope things are good for you any news on the job front yet?

Much much love Gxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ps Stan missing you Will. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi James,have just been reading the latest and looking at the pics, looks like a good time is being had by all. We are now in Tortola BVI - sun, sand, sea,sailing and rum.  We had a great holiday with our friends in Ft Myers Florida and went out fishing frequently, which was easy with their pontoon boat docked almost next to the house.  Our friends here stay in a house on a hilltop with the most fantastic views of the other islands, the sea and even the end of the airport runway, so as you can imagine Grandad is busy checking on all the aircraft taking off and landing.  Today he has gone with Chuck to relaunch their boat, a 43' sloop and sail it back to their mooring.  All for now.  Lol

Hey guys

               Hope you are all well and enjoying napier, howz the rugby going? When does the season start it should be soon shouldnt it. Seeing all the pics has made me a bit depressed, sitting here in cardiff wishing i was out there. i spoke to the club i played for the other day their keeping an eye out for you guys. if u need any help of where to get things from give me an e-mail. we found getting out of the city and going to smaller towns the beer was cheaper hahaha (not that you highly tuned athletes should be drinking) anyway good luck for the season and enjoy it as it will be over before you no it.  Stevo

Hi Boys-What a lot of pictures! Our computer is going very slowly so we have looked at the thumbnails in desperation because we couldn't wait! It is really great to see where you are staying and get a feel of your life style. Ian you are certainly a Keith at heart with all those pictures of food-who does that remind me of?

How is the apple picking going? It sounds quite hard work but I am sure you are able to have a laugh. Life here is jogging along. Your Mum came into school this week and we saw them at the week end which was great. We have had a couple of nice days, but the ground is really wet still and more rain is forecast-is it very hot where you are? We were sorry to hear about your collar bone but your Mum says you are able to train and do the running part, so I suppose could be a lot worse. Anyway look after yourselves and keep having fun -lots of love xxxx

Hi boys,

The photos have made my day! Great to see where you are living and that you all look so well.  Fantastic to see you Stroud boys all together and having such a  laugh. Also lovely to see all the apples...! Noticed those trousers again ... as Jane says they must be back in fashion. You'll be playing Bay city Rollers records before long.

Ian, the paperwork regarding residences came through from Cardiff today. I'll speak to you about this soon.

Take care all, lots of love xxx 

GwanGwan boys!

Looks like you guys are having a great time!

Nanna Jill!!! I'm shocked!

Talk about going from the sublime to the ridiculous! Now there are hundreds of photos... I may not have time to do any work at all today! Could this be because you are still at leisure due to slow-ripening apples..?

Hi Ian.  Just looked at your batch of photos and we were most impressed. "Speedo time" was looked at with much interest!!! Glad to see you are all enjoying yourselves, and the scenery is stunning. Wish we were there!! Love N & P xxx 

Hi Boys, Loved all the photos. Great to see where you've been and what you've been up to! I definitely want to visit New Zealand (don't worry James, not while you're out there!) Lots of love Mum

Hey everyone!

here you have it..finally,all the pictures we have taken and a grpahic chronicalisation of our time away so far, hope they are worth the wait, enjoy!

Hi Ian & Co!  Super photos boys! Will enjoy looking them over again - there were so many - couldn't take them all in one go!  Just a bit of home rugby news for you - Phil Vickery is out with concussion for Sunday's game v France, as is Johnney Wilkinson ( ham string) and Andy Farrell (back trouble). Doesn't do our chances much good does it? By the way, what is the weather like out there?  I imagine it is like our early Autumn - is that right?  Here we have rain and gales frequently, but today is like Spring.  Just a blip according to the forecast though, as it seems the rain and wind are in again tomorrow! Take care all of you. Enjoy yourselves. Love N & P xxx
