Rachel Hi peeps, hope you are having a wicked time in New Zealand - it can't be any wetter than here anyway! Today is my summer ball and it is distinctly un-summery - shame! I'm in the middle of packing my things to return home at the weekend and am once again realising that I have far too many posessions. Am thinking of giving them all to charity and living like a nun. It will be fun getting it all into Boris! Looking forward to the next update! Love Rachxxx

Charlie Did they not let you off Mount Doom?! I surely hope so, this is just a quicky to say hi and bye (trying to distract myself from the icky job of defrosting the freezer) before we jet of to Crete. Love you muchly. p.s. Shall I address the postcard to Noodle & Springhead...The Nissan Gold Van, Somewhere, New Zealand? It might have a better chance than the effort the bloody royal mail made with mine ;)! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
