Hi Sara & John Is it PC to say G'Day in NZ or do they cast daggers as they would accusing an Englishman of being a Frenchman? Have you learnt to do the HAKA yet? I believe NZ is described as the adrenalin country of the world, so hope to hear that you survive all the death defying stunts that you have planned!! All's well at no 25 and no 27. We're now impatiently waiting the onset of spring. It's very mild for Feb so you haven't missed a nice cold crisp winter at all. We spent a day on the Isle of Wight over the weekend, and that was good as usual. Our wine cellar is buckling under the weight so plenty to share with you both. My travels haven't ended. Our company won a Sharp Edge award on Monday night - for woman entrepreneur of the year. I don't see my job getting any quieter. In fact I'm now logging on from home in the evenings, just to stay on top of it all. Where's your next stop, and more to the point, where's all the holiday snaps?? Your pics in the Cook Islands reminded me a lot of Zim - especially the shower!! It's great to hear your snippets - keep them up. Take special care - good luck with teaching the Aussie's and NZ's how to speak the Queen's English!! It'll be very interesting to hear your worldwide accents upon your return.... I'm sure we'll understand Wine in any accent. Keep well and safe. Lots of love to you both. Ali & Dave
