Hi Iain and Charlotte

Got the address from Aunty Linda yesterday, 8 July. Sorry we didn't get in touch before you left. It is great to be able to keep in touch with everything you're doing on your wonderful trip. You both are obviously feeling very fit to do that race - I only managed a four mile walk for NACC which took just over an hour. We heard that you both have already found employment which will help with the bank balance and allow you to do and see everything. Uncle Alan and I are very envious of you going to NZ. We loved it there. Don't know if you got your anniversay cards before you left - sent to your home address - but just to let you know we did send one. (Susan and Alex also). They are asking for you both and I will pass your address on to them. Susan is "blooming" and both are looking forward to their new arrival. Take care and have a fab time as I'm sure you will.

Love Louise and Alan

Dear Charlotte and Iain,

After asking finally got the blog address from your Mum and Dad last night. I must say, I'm extremely impressed by the whole thing - and a big wow on the cycling! But I agree with Mary's 'tut tut' in relation to the sausages! How exciting for both of you. I hear you both have jobs but I'm a little unsure about the dress code - perhaps you can enlighten us?

I've just purchased tickets today for 'A Day Out with Thomas' for Jack and Eve - that will be in August and Aunty Wilma and I are both looking forward to it.

Well, I'll go just now - please do take good care of yourselves and I promise to revisit the blog site as often as I can - though can't promise it will be often as Aunty Linda by all accounts!

Lots of love from me and Uncle Edwin.

Well done on the running, really are fit, I am exhausted just thinking about it!!! (really out of condition). Anyway about the chocolate thing, best to probably ask Auntie Wilma, as her friend Mahri likes a particular brand of chocolate and I purchased a few bars of it, from Woolworths, and brought it home!!!

Glad to hear the sun is shining. Tell Iain that Graham's friend Dave Wilson, is back home now, probably see him on Tuesday night, I bet he'll be missing'down under' especially Brisbane as he spent quite a time there.

Well happy cyclying, hope you enjoyed the rest of the weekend.

Bye for now
