Looking forward to seeing you and catching up.

Hi Mum,Dad

Love Mark,Anthea and Dommy xx

Hi Kiwis Glad to see you've done all the adventure bits, you'll need the last few days resting in proper beds ready for the long flight home. I liked the picture of Kangaroo Carole. See you next week. Love Margaret XX

Hi

what a wonderful holiday it has been for you all, I am enjoying reading your blog but will look forward to seeing you next week. I have found a cruise, still trying to talk Jim into it.

Your mum is fine, she came home yesterday and was happy tobe there.

We have had some sunny days but bl***** freezing. Enjoy your last few days, take care.

Love Linda xx

Hi gadabouts. Can't believe the miles you've travelled, but looks really interesting - we're envious. Glad (I mean sorry!) you've had some cold weather at last, it's been bloody freezing here, bitterley cold frosts of a morning and although there has been brilliant sunshine in the day it hasn't got much warmer. Mags still can't get your blogs but I've been sending her on hard copies and they send regards. Glad to hear yor Mum is getting better now Carole. Won't be long before we can speak to you again and hear all about it! Lobe Jan and Nick

Hi everyone,

Well you're at the end of your stay in New Zealand, sounds like you've had the most amazing time, bet you don't want to come home! Where did that time go!

Nan and Marty are just fine although I think Marty doesn't want to let Nan out of her sight at the mo!

Have a very safe onward journey to the Cook Islands, not sure whether you are planning to update the blog whilst you are there but if not have a good journey home and we will see you next week

Lots of love,

Sarah, Dom and the tiddlywinks xxx

HI all,can't believe you only have 10 days left,it has gone very quick more so for you travellers.What will we all do once you're home,life will seem boring with no blogs to read.it's like a soap opera with people you know.Luckily the shop has had a repreive,so i,ve still got my little job.The weather here has been wonderful,long may it continue.NZ looks amazing and sounds like you'll be sorry to come back to the UK.Take care,have fun,love Liz,Ian and Leigh.P.S for Rachael,childbirth is a breeze it's the 18 years that follows that is the pain.Only joking?????

What a wonderful trip, like Margaret says 'going round again'? You would recommend it eh? Did you lose weight doing all those sporty things or has the beer put in all back on?

Everything good here, weather now at 30c so much warmer at last! Leaving off your great scarf you knitted Carole, loved it, left a note at home and some nice chocs. Just doing Easter cards etc for all the grandchildren the post being so slow..and getting ready for semester 2 teaching this week. It's ok for some
