Greetings Jill and Richard
Just to let you know I enjoyed the photos of Waihi and the picture of my 'twin' elder brother. What an incredible co-incidence! From the rest of your photos etc., I see you are having a terrible time! I'm not at all jealous!
Perhaps catch up with you in Norfolk sometime when you are back in the UK, assuming you come back!!
Penny
Hello you guys. Sorry about the rain we've had some interesting storms here too but at the mo. lovely and sunny. Long may it last. You seem to be having a stunning time - wonderful photos. S/Africa was beautiful but far too short a trip. Sarah now a Master of Development Finance and working 3 days as Development Manager with childrens charities - managing to juggle work and James so far. Try and keep dry - enjoy the next stage
Much love Penny xxx

Hi Jill and Richard,
what a feeling to follow you and your experience during your exciting trip.
It seems you both feeling well and enjoy every minute.
I can imagine that both of you miss your kids and the grand kits.
During your absence spring time reached us in bavaria and the huge snow mountains melted away.
Elke Tobias and myself send through this way best wishes from the Munich area and do not forget
the beautiful bear gardens we can start to enjoy right now.
But your impressions seems to be of more interest and I can agree.
Hope to see you on your way back!
Love to you from Elke Tobias and Sigggggggggiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Chris
Mmm. I have only just noticed the 'Good Read?' button at the bottom of the postcards. Are they new, or have they been there the whole time? Very worrying!! Love the man's railway. You wouldn't be allowed to do that in the UK, build your own railway with bridges, tunnels etc, and repair the railway in your own workshop and then take public up the mountain! Great idea!! More power to his elbow I say! Hope you are both fit and well and DRY! Chris. xxxxx
Carole

R you must be a "bad" influence on my daughter - you might be interested to learn she has an account with William Hill !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Am busy organising funeral for my Aunt in Devon she just made her 93rd birthday hilst trying to enjoy the lovely weather and find my way through the "lawn" !

This wanderer has returned, well for five days anyway! Off to Paris for the Champions League final next week!! I would suggest that somebody has been eating a little too well judging by the photo with Uncle Martins brother, or is that just a very unflattering photo?? Spent two nights with Tinsel before she went back to Newbury, leaving me all alone in my swanky bachelor pad. Spoke with my nephew for a good 10mins on the phone yesterday - he has inherited his mothers ability to talk!! This conversation was sparked by him leaving me an unprompted voicemail saying "I can ride my bike without stabilisers now and when are you coming to stay at my house?" Looks like you are doing better with the weather. Its a scorcher here in the city today - 25 degrees!! Take care and have fun - Love Chop xx
Lynne Horton
get your haircut the pair of you!!!! looks like your having a great time. missing you. love lynne & john
