Happy New Year..................................

Happy New Year to you both. You have done so much and now the new year is at your fingertips for you to do so much more. Enjoy New Zealand and look forward to Australia. I think you could miss the bungy jump out!

Hi Ruth and Ben
Just a quick note to wish you both a fabulous Christmas. No doubt you will be spending Christmas day in sunshine so spare a thought for us shivering here. Spent a lovely evening with your mum and dad on 23rd but it seemed strange without the rest of the crew. We have all the small Salmons here today so should be fun. Fab photos and we love the hair Ruth. Enjoy your travels and have a great time over the festive season.

Now then... just a quick one to say have a fantastic christmas!! i'm really chuffed you're both getting the opportunity to experience christmas in another country... mainly because it means one less christmas card for me to post!!! take care and have a great xmas and new year!!! ps great pictures!!!

Just had a wonderful time looking at your fab photos. You are certianly seeing the sights. Would like to use your message board facility to thank Helen W. your friend Ruth, for thoughtful Christmas card to us that displays your lovely face at the top. Thank you Helen. Enjoy the great day and celebrate in New Zealand style. Just had message from Sue Waterman - Chapmanslade contact daughter wanting to become resident in New Zealand. Its a small world! love to you both Happy Christmas.

Merry Christmas guys! Hope you have a wonderful festive period and a very happy New Year! Look forward to the next update from the Hairbear Bunch!
Take it easy guys and keep having a great time, Phil

Ruthie, I adore your messages and photos! Missing you like crazy but so glad you are having the time of your life.

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas in the sun - I bet it'll feel a bit odd to be on the beach?! I am staying at home this Christmas with my family and will toast the Sacks at dinner!

I love you loads and loads and can't wait to see you next year!

Big kiss to Ben too,
