Dear John & Sara have a great time in Fiji. We are not jealous !!!!!!!! well actually we are. Take care and thanks for telling us about your motor bike experience after the event. Dont forget the sun cream, you saft pair getting burnt. All's well at Chandlers Ford. Luv you Mum & Dad B x x x x

We are now in Fiji. We got here early this morning after changing our ticket to get here early. Tomorrow we are off to sme Islands for a couple of weeks. Most of the Islands dont have any electric let alone a phone line for internet so you wont here from us for a bit. Dont worry though. So long as the boat does not sink we will be fine. Weather here is great as its been for sometime now. To top it off Saints Won today which I was well happy to see. went into town today and got pulled into a shop and ended up drinking Carva (Karva perhaps) and now need to go to bed as a result. Three coconut shell fulls of that and I could sleep here and now. Interesting stuff!!! Hope you are all well and the weather at home is good as ever. Not seen any news for ages so no idea whats going on. All seems well with the coup here so not much need to worry about that. Will let you know when we are back on firm land but as I say it may not be for a couple of weeks or so. Take care and love to all, John and Sara xxx xxx

Hi Sara/John, how is fee-gee living up to expectations i hope. Kate, you may or may not know, is now on broad band and i'm teaching her the fundamentals. The "do" went very well with a few minor hic-ups mainly caused by your mother buying me far to many drinks. That anchor affair sounded pottentialy a bit traumatic but alls well that ends well. Ma sends her love. Da ++

Hi there again Just to say from your personal and private secretary enjoy the rest of your time in the Cook Islands. Have most of my news on the hotmail. Much love as always Sara and John Mum

Hi Sara-John, i would John like to point out in passing that Millwall is closing in on the leaders -need i say more!! Hows the foot Sara? in good shape i hope. Things here have'nt changed radically I still have your mother under control Sara- i'm doing as i'm told. Fergus Slattery, to the unitiated he's played a bit of rugby for Ireland and the lions (thought i'd slip that one in) phoned me yesterday about tomorrows rugby club shindig and i'm telling everybody/ anybody who will listen, all about my mate. Winds here are averaging out at about 80 mls per hr-beat that. Hope you are both well. Baz.
