Hello guys. Yet another amazing installment in your amazing trip. Very envious though I'm off to Hong Kong and NZ (South Island) on Sunday for 3 weeks and will be following you to the Glacier and Milford Sound etc. Got back to London at the turn of the year from NY so Look forward to seeing you when you are back. Paddy the hair rocks!

Hello people. Hope you are still having fun. Need to do some catching up on the photos (they make me envious!) looking forward to seeing you both in the not too distant future.

In Bath at the moment and still living out of bags, in fact I have only just managed to send your travel guide back to you. I keep having to look at photos and our blog to remind me that we went away and the wonderful things we did. Would love to do Asia next and looking at your blog has really whetted our appettites. I have to say you are both looking very well. I can't believe you only have three weeks to go, at least it means we get to see you again soon. Let us know when you are back in London and we will come and visit. Keep in touch and safe travels. xx

Hellooo!!! Ive just had time to read your NZ blog - with jase looking over my shoulder, both of us shouting 'we've been there, we've been there'!!! dying to swap stories. You'll be please to hear its raining here again, we've got a curry in the oven to warm us up for tea!! Had a lovely weekend, I took jase away for a a bit of romance!!! Just went to the Hand at Llanarmon, but it was lovely - we were walking in the snow within 40 mins of dropping jac at mum and dads. Followed by coffee and flapjack in the bar watching the 6 nations, followed by wine and cider watching wales beat england at twickers!! - I had one v v v happy husband that night!! Saw foxy on monday with jake, they are all well - would love to do something with you on your return to shropshire - let us know dates. Right must go, curry is ready! big love the jones!! oooh ps, jac is walking!!! - well wobbling like a leachy or debs after a few glasses of vino!! xxxx

Paddy - get a hair cut! Othewise things might come out that you might want to be aired in public..........
So jealous looks like you are still having a wicked time! Take it easy, not that you can do anything else.

Hi Guys
I am sorry I missed your call the other day - gutted!
We are getting ready for the big day - I have a bit of a logistics problem though - I am picking Jacob up at the same time as the turkey and am a bit worried that I won't fit them both in the car! All I can envisage is a Mr Bean-esque disaster waiting to happen!
Have a great Christmas in NZ and look forward to hearing about your ongoing adventures in the New Year!
