Oh hi to Mum as well..

Im going to give you a bell tonight (9am GMT) so I'll update you then.

Got a few pics to upload but the computers a shockingly slow, so not right now : (

We are in Oz at the mo Mum, so why are you asking about where in NZ are we? Or if you mean where are we going when we go to NZ, that will be all over as we have a campervan fopr 3 weeks so doing as much of the whole country as possible.

We dont have any contact details, phone etc so the best bet is to give them our email address ([email protected]) and we can call them if they leave there details... no wierdos though Mum, I know what you and Dad are like when it comes to taken people under your wing!haha

Anyway speak later on tonight

Mwah

As Ricky has already put his Christmas message on, I thought I should follow suit...

I hear it is really snowing back at home, and I know my family have been snowed in for days, so I not missing home to much right now ( I said home Mum, not family, dont worry xx). Although the downside being here is there will be no sledging this year : ( Yes, I know, 25 and still acting like a child!

It hasn't been a great week here either but we have had 3 days of glorious sunshine to make up for the few days of rain and an amazing beach basically to ourselves!

can't believe Christmas and New Year are just around the corner!

I want to wish all my family and my friends a fabulous Christmas and I hope all your New Year hopes and wishes are all you want as well.

Lots of love for now, wrap up warm and be merry

Hi Possoms! We can see you are still having the time of your life - and keep at it. Phil wants to know are you drinking any vb's - the beer they sell out there!

We have just had a houseful of 6 of my school friends staying at the house in Goa.....and had a wonderful, busy week. Phil was a perfect host and all the girls loved it so much - they are coming back next year!!!

Enjoy the rest of your time away. So many memories to keep - for always.

All our love Aunty Beverley and Phil xxx
