Hi guys,

Hope you're still enjoying yourselves - the photos look great.

Just in case you don't get my text, I went for my scan today and it's full on for a natural birth. Gutted doesn't cover it!!! Can now spend the next 5 weeks of my life dreading the whole labour thing. Jim's sympathy goes as far as making pushing noises every 5 seconds, followed by guffaws of laughter. B*****d!

Enjoy the weekend,

Love Rach x x

Jess - Saw the knitting needle this week but have yet to see the ventouse (they just drew a picture of that one - probably due to the faces of horror when the forceps came out). Such a joy being female!

Hi Bloggers

Great photos, especially love the one of Carole on the luge (Stig eat your heart out). But it definitely wasn't Jason and Kylie singing on the boat trip.

I had a great skiing holiday with the girls, although was put to shame by a 5 year old skier, so am going to take some lessons in April. Not only was Annabelle faster than me, but sha had great parallel turns and not even a black run phased her. So she was made honory member of "girls on the piste".

Hope you have more fun in Dunedin and Christchurch, keep the pictures and blogs coming - we love them.

Loads of love

J, T & S

PS Rach, if you think the forceps look bad, ask the midwife to show you a ventouse or the knitting needle they use to break your waters - it did it for me and my legs remained firmly shut.

The photos are great. Sorry I've not got back to you sooner, what with wedding and other events. Tell you about them when you get back. I didn't realise there was so much to do in NZ. Hope the fun continues for the next 2 weeks, or are you going round again!!! Love Margaret

Lovely picture of the singing on the boat trip. Carole and John look like the Tabernacle Gospel Choir and Pat bears an uncanny resemblence to Harold Shipman!! Glad to hear you're all having such a good time, though, and the view from the gondola looks superb. How come you all bricked the bungee jump?

Love

Hello again,

Really pleased that you are all having such a wonderful time.

Mean't to say that we are all following your blog ( am printing off for Mum).

The photos look great and all your blogs ensure it sounds amazing to be there.

We are looking forward to the next chapter.

Look after yourselves and continue having fun!

Hi,

Photos are looking good; nice to see you're still enjoying yourselves.

Things are fine here - started ante natal classes on Weds and am seriously keeping my fingers crossed for a c section after seeing a real-life pair of forceps! Got the scan on Fri so will let you know.

Glad it's now half term - am feeling increasingly tired as time marches on. Was thinking of going down and seeing nan, after reading on your blog that she wasn't well but it seems she is much better.

Weather is fabulous today - just got back from sitting outside in a pub beer garden, having lunch. Roll on summer!

Enjoy the sunshine and see you soon,

Hello again!

Connor says thanks very much for his birthday present, he's very impressed that you remembered he liked Samuel's! Unfortunately he didn't have a birthday party as he has become very foul mouthed and used the F word the other day. He has been very repentant since though so I feel really awful now! He's had a good day so I guess he's not going to be too scarred

Enjoy Queenstown, can't wait to see the pictures of your quadruple bungy jump.

Speak soon,

Sarah, Dom, Connor the Birthday Boy, Morgan, Elliott and Phoebe xxxx

Hello Campers

We're loving the photos, weather looks fantastic and you all look very bronzed. We get the impression you might be enjoying yourself too much! You won't want to return to Blightly, maybe you'll go and collect the immigration forms like we did.

Have a fab time in Queensland fitting in more adventures.

Love Jess, Tim & Sam

PS Did I mention, I'm off skiing tomorrow with the girls?

Hi Whirlybirders. Great blog and pictures came out beautifully - very impressed with the stoicism of shorts on the glacier!!!

Glad your Mum is improving, at least you know she is being well cared for while you're away.

How is life in the camper van going - not too many arguments about who has the best bed? You won't want to stay in the motel when you get there!

Love

Jan and Nick
