Hi all from a mildly chilly South Island...!! Apologies for the slack postcards and photos of the north island....its a bit hard to get to internet when your on the road! New Zealand is lush...lovin it so far! Tomorrow we are going to stay on a farm for a weeks voluntary work to get a taste of rural NZ life.....not sure if we can remember what work is but hey!! We will update the site soon.

Love to all, miss you all.

Hi Louise and Pete. Have been catching up with your photos today. What a wonderful wonderful time you are having. Have caught up with some of the familys stories from Australia but I am sure there are more still to come. Have seen quite a few photos. Some lovely ones of Daniel and Hannah, in their wetsuits and holding Koala Bears. Robert has taken some wonderful sunsets from their hotel on Hamilton Island. They really enjoyed their week with you and I am sure it was mutual. Look forward to hearing what you think of NZ. Everybody I know who has been there has loved it. Called round to see the family today. Daniel had enjoyed his few days in Bude in Cornwall. Not impressed at getting up at 07:00am to go for a run at 07:15am before breakfast! He seems to have enjoyed the activities. Hannah and Deb went with Grandma and Grandad to see 'Mary Poppins' while Daniel was away. They all really enjoyed it. By the way they are auditioning for 'Sound of Music' at the moment. You have missed your chance Louise but at least you can look forward to seeing it on the stage in the Autumn! We have had a much nicer weekend than predicted so we have all been in our gardens. Mum and I are off for a long weekend in London next weekend. We hope to go on the London Eye and visit Kensington Palace and the Royal Observatory etc so it will be a busy time. Thinking of you both. Lots of love Louise

Hi guys...In New Zealand now in our wicked little campervan. Have just arrived in Rotorua. Hmmm.....the smell of boiled eggs every where you go!! At least I can now pass wind and get away with it!! HE HE. Thanks for your messages....off to go and try out the thermal pools now! xxx

COME ON THE ARSENAL!!!! HA HA HA HA HA HA

Hello you lovely people! The photos are amazing! It all looks so wonderful. I am so jealous. All fine here - have been doing some catching up so have now relpied to the last email!!!
Still waiting on the flat and everything else is hunkydory! Liverpool in the FA cup final and Arsenal in the Champions League final so happy all round!!
Missing you as always, lots of love and hugs xxxx

Hey guys!!! :) ? Jealous is not even the word! You?re out there having all this beautiful weather while we get ? well ? you can prolly guess ? good ole British weather! Tho it has warmed up and yesterday was gorgeous. I?m trying to keep my hopes up for a hot summer! Yeah?Today however ? Ive just stood for about 2 hours in the rain watching the London Marathon ? all I?ll say is G4, Gordan Ramsey, Rebecca Loos, oh and cough cough Jade Goody!!!!!!?????!!!!! Apparently shes still just at the Cutty Sark! Oh dear.

The photos look amazing babes! Fiji - everywhere ? I especially like the way you felt the need to take about 300 pics of Ayres Rock under different light ? each one looks so?different! Lol :)

Well ? I cant wait for my hols either ? going Turkey in July ? not far now, with Sarah and her family. By the way Sarahs well, shes working in her mums school, juggling there with doing an Open University Course and trying to get on to a PGCE course somewhere in London. Anthony, well, bless his cotton socks hates his job mainly coz hes a glorified health worker and not the assistant psychologist hes supposed to be. Me on the other hand, I?ve just had a promotion! Yay! More money ? so instead of working at the gym as recptionist ? I?m an office-bod and doing Sales ? so if you want a gym membership ? im ya gal! :)

Hope you?ve had a great Easter babes and not eaten too many Easter eggs, I?m gonna go and help my mum sort through a vast array of photos ? what fun! Then, we get the fun job of taking my bro Sam to the hospital coz bein 18 he went to a Party and now his ear is leakin gunge and blood and he cant hear out of it. Serves him right for swimming in dirty pools, going on a Bucking Bronco .. and generally enjoying himself! Then ? its first day as Sales Woman Kelly 2mo.

Anyway, enough waffling ? have a great time in NZ ? keep the photos coming.
Love and hugs from the UK, Take care
Kels
