Hi guys,
How are you both? I'm sorry to hear New Years was a little disappointing-wasn't much to write home about here either. Dave and I went for a meal then played Monopoly until 2am! Wild or what....We were thinking of you that evening and missing you both dearly. Gem and I were discussing next New Year and wondering whether we could all get togther for a big party? That's if you both havn't emigrated to NZ! I have just looked at your photos babe and am amazed at how stunning the scenery is. Sounds like you having a ball-I have to admit Dave and I do wish we were there too.
Take care you special ones and will catch up soon,
All our love and hugs

Hi Guys,
Great to talk to you both Tuesday - lovely to hear your voices.
Some really exciting news - Mum has got my old camera - you know what that means!!
Hope the heli-hike went really well - can't wait to see all the new pictures.
Everyone is asking after you and sends their love.
Half way through now - hope the second half is as exciting for you as the first! - hasn't it gone quickly?
Looking very forward to the next skype.
Had Brads Tuesday night and Wednesday night - Saw your photo on the wall - Decided he missed you both sooo much that he had to sleep with his nannie and I had to sleep in his bed!!
Take care,
Luv you both loads.
Talk to you soon,
Mum and Dad

A Belated Happy New Year to you both.
Although my messages have been few, well singular to be precise (and with terrible spelling and grammar)! I thought I'd quickly drop you a line (sober this time)! to let you know that I am keeping a keen interest in your movements and I am still very jealous!
Hope it remains to be everything you hoped for!
All the best to you both,
Love,
Matt, Sarah, abi and Daisy

Happy new year to you both!! Hope you had a wonderful time!! We went to The Shipp, it was heaving and mark ended up working behind the bar!! so i was a little unimpressed!!
Thankyou so much for our calender, it really made us smile! I will be hanging it up in the kitchen! well in the room where the kitchen was!! We've started the new year by destroying our house, starting with the kitchen. Marks having an amazing time smashing it to bits, we did however find Stuart littles toilet (much to my discust) so hopefully now his hiding place has been exposed he won't come back!! New kitchen comes on friday so hopefully we'll return to normality quite soon!
Still love reading all your updates, and as always miss you like crazy!
Lots of love

Hi our travelski's,
Was so lovely to speak to you on xmas day and the calendar was great - it is now hanging in the kitchen, well it will be when Chris has found a piece of string! He has the Cooper & Denny fishing match on his mind at the moment - its a huge event, shame I will be at work!
Saw Pauls Mum a few days ago - everyone seems to have heard about us cooking xmas dinner! Not sure if I told you on the phone but the turkey was a 20 pounder and unfortunately would not fit in the oven together with roasties, parsnips and sausages so my very kind mother-in-law cooked it in her oven! Bless her, she is the best, made us a christmas pudding and a choccie log - sorry Zoe I have eaten it all! It was yummmmmm! Unfortunately Mum has her work cut out next year as Dad was well impressed!
Will do you a xmas dinner when you get back if you fancy it - have plenty of turkey left!!
Hope you found somehwere nice to celebrate the new year - we did - our living room - hooternanny was great!
Will be in touch soon.x
Lots of love and thinking of you always.
Happy new year everybody!x.x.x

Hi My New Year intrepids
Can't tell you how good it was to hear your slurred xmas greetings trust that Paul to lead you astray!! Still 2 months in a camper van with a fellow SPURS fan would be enough to make anyone turn to a drop of the falling down water!! As much as we all missed you we would rather you were where your dream has taken you, plus it was cheaper on prezzies!
Everyone sends their love and best wishes for the new year. Just got back from seeing Ben & Traci they look really well and happy and move into the pub soon, which will be a drag next time we go down as we will have to stay in the pub, what an ordeal!! Mild on tap Too!!
Matt, Sarah,Abi & daisy have just been over for the day so i am tired, all that jumping over drains,piggy back rides and chasing have taken its toll on my 32 year old body!!Love from them too.
Hope you find a nice spot for your new year celebrations, you know our thoughts and love will be with you both. Will raise a glass or two to you, don't worry about the phone just enjoy yourselves.
Keep living it
Happy New Year
Much love and Huge hugs
