Hey Em & Sam, How are you both? Sounds like you both having a ball, am (as said previously) slightly jealous (oh ok more than that) about your new year's eve-sounds totally amazing, must have been so unreal! Were you really both speechless?! How did you end up in this penthouse?? Maybe I'll make it there (Oz) for one some year! What was the kiwi picking like? How you liking oz compared to NZ? Any nice guys out there? DId you go see the all blacks play? (An experience not to be missed according to my flatmate). Both looking really well, so glad you enjoying it. Any plans after the coast? Hope you get snorkelling. Is loads of fun but don't forget suncream on your bum & backs of legs (It hurts if you burn it like I did in Africa, Ben was in stitches laughing at me)! Could hardly sit, still got faint marks there! Miss ya both. Talked to Ali last night who said it would be ncie to see you both sometime. Am still saving, but if I only get a week off for easter unless your still there in June would love to join you next time!! Miss the sun after Kenya (which was awesome), loved the pace of life and time is like Katie time (always late)! Anyways, best go and do some work before i go back in later (doing babies & women stuff for 2 weeks). Hope I get to deliver another! WAs amazing. Only get 23 weeks left, OMG, can't believe it! Anyway, take care and enjoy it and take lots of photos! Lots of love and hugs, Kate xxxx

Happy New Year my lovelies!!!! Sounds like you had an absolutely amazing New Year's Eve!!! Am tres jealous! I went out in Plymouth with some old OTC mates and that was kool - consumed copious amounts of port and champagne and still managed to remain stading at the end of the night which was a bonus! Am back to Sandhurst on Sunday - start back Monday, but this term we have Internet in our rooms so hopefully that will make for muchos communications with you!! Hope you are still have an amazing time - keep us updated!!! Loadsa love and hugs Rhi xxx
