Hope you enjoy New Zealand and a let up in the hot weather. Lovely to talk to you Paul, it's nice to hear that you are both well. As you know David is running in the marathon for Great Ormond Street and could do with your support, all joking aside, it is a great achievement and he never gets the credit he deserves. I know that I could never have done it. Seeing Mum tomorrow and will take in your latest blog. Love to you both.

Hi Paul & Marion,

You can´t expect good weather whole trip though.... We really enjoy reading your stories...

Have fun and talk again soon.

Simon & Two

I'm not surprised that there is no-one in the sea, swimmings pools are popular then? I found out yesterday in the Telegraph that there is a crocodile farm in the Cambridgeshire fens, where will it all end I ask. Not only that Wales won the 6 nations!!! Bet that cheers you up Paul. I have it on good authority that many people were actually supporting France, can't think who! Mum loves reading your news. Only one new addition to the photo game - thanks Ray and Lesley. Over 1000 taken already, don't give them any more clues. Love you, take care. xx

Hi guys,just a quick note

PINK CHAMPHENE ON US IN NOVEMBER 2008XXXXXXXXXX

G"day, We did try and tell you about the 12hour train journey, we did it in the day and it was boring,thats why we flew back to Melbourne, Sydney is a bit boring and we didnot feel that safe there but you have to go and see the sights. Have a great time out on the reef, say hello to "Nemo". We think that you will take 1982 photos. hear from you soon, love R and L xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Glad you are both safe and still enjoying Australia, although apart from the usual attractions, you do not seem particularly struck with Sydney. I think you are right, you are probably spoilt now. Not many takers yet for the photo- guessing game, only Laura. Come on you meanies! I will keep a list if you like. Insider knowledge or not, I think even you two might struggle to take 10,000 but who knows? Mum will be pleased, Liverpool beat Milan last night.

G"day mates, hope you are both fine as we have not heard from you since last Sunday. hope you are enjoying Oz and are remembering to Slip, Slop, Slap! We need more photos and not of flowers or sunsets (we all know what you are like reguarding photos) Have you been to the MCG yet, when are you off to Sydnay? Enjoy the their summer as its a bit wet and windy here. Lots of love R and L xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hmmm photos, I would guess at least 10,000 although I may have insider knowlege (most of those will probably be of flowers and sunsets if past form is anything to go by)! xx Great idea Sandra!

David, Julie and I took Mum out to lunch on Mothers Day and she enjoyed herself. It was nice for us all to spend some time together. It must be nice being in summer, that means that you will have two this year ( I use the term loosely for the UK you understand) I think that we should all guess how many photos you will end up taking, we all contribute £2 and the winner donates the money to his/her favourite charity. What do you think people? I will start the ball rolling: 2750

Happy Mother's Day - hope you had a great day!

Sorry - wasn't able to get on the internet for most of last weekx

If you come across any paradise beaches that are empty that will be because of the salt water crocodiles. Enjoy!
