Hi there
Just looked at your AMAZING photos. How very exciting it all is and what wonderful sites you're seeing!!! The Campervan looks very classy and very big!!! Congratulations to all the drivers (I'm not sure I could tackle driving it). I trust the navigator is proving reliable - she certainly gets me around very successfully.
It's Advent this weekend and Christmas starts BIG TIME in school -angel and sheep hats to make, a miriad of stars to decorate and glitter just about everywhere - all in preparation for next week's mega performance of "The Sleepy Shepherd". Bet you wish you were at Nursery again!!! Ask Helen about the Nursery video of the Nativity when she took on all the singing!!!
Take care of each other.
Special BIG hugs and kisses to Helen xxxxxxxxxx

Hello Sarah & friends,
Great pictures from New Zealand but you all look so cold! It's not so bad here in Ireland, lots of rain though. Christmas is not far away now, where will you all be then? Somewhere warm??
Great camper van!!
Continue to enjoy....

Hey honies!
All sounds pretty amazing to me... stuck in windy Manchester.
Having fun though - they have Christmas markets which make me feel really festive. Went to town yesterday and walked into Harvey Nicks where they were having some store holder night or sth... with free mince pies and bubbly. I don't own a store card but talked the talk and drank the drink! Was so Christmassy as there was a choir outside singing Christmas carols. Felt a bit bad though - think the bubbly went to my head as I started joining in pretty loudly... teehee
Just been teaching salsa and samba to year 9s - managed to get them all on their feet dancing which was an achievement!
Sending you much love from the other side of the world. Hope to hear again soon,
Rach xxxxx

Hello everyone!

Thanks for all your messages, we really do love reading them, (Anna, I love the Gordon Ramsey updates, mmmmmm!)-from Jessica.

Apologies for the lack of photos on out site, but we just havn't had access to a computer that allows us cables!!! Be assured that the AMAZING pictures are still being taken and we will add them as soon as we can so you can all be wildely jealous!!!!

We're currently in a four * holiday park- not sure what the four * refers to but it's ok and only 5mins walk from the beach!

We're heading for the Fox Glacier tomorrow- We're on South Island by the way!- Got the ferry today!- So we might do a bit of skiing! Not sure about Bungji jumping so mothers don't start panicking but Zorbing is definately on the cards!!-b If your not sure you can google it!

Our lovely VW Campervan is amazing! the rental company name, Maui is all over the outside, and makes us feel as though we are Mauri warriors, taking on all NZ can throw at us! Well, the lack of road signs is certainly a challenge!

Missing you all lots, be in touch soon.

Hello Lucy, Jess, Helen and Sarah!!!! Hope that you are all well and enjoying your trip. I had chinese takeaway last night, it was very tasty but no doubt not as good as the real thing.
Not alot going on here... urm Robert was voted out of X-factor, yes the McDonald bros are still in despite Simon Cowell saying that their performance was pointless! Urm... am trying to think if other things to tell you... well i had to do some gardening today with yr3 children, I'm not too hopeful that the bulbs they planted will flower becasue I'm not exactly a gardening enthusiast. Missing you Lucy! ALL of you take care, Ali xxxx

Hello girls

I hope you have all had a good day... it's 7.55pm here, which means it is 3.55am where you are (and I bet you are just coming in from a night out on the tiles in Hong Kong!!)

There was no Central Line today (oh joy of all joys) so it took me FOREVER to get home from work!!!

I've just made a rather yummy prawn stir fry... what have you lots had to eat?? - lots of noodles...

Bye bye, sleep well... Anna xxx

Fwwwwwwoooooooowwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!

Just to let you girls know that Gordon was looking very fine tonight with his tanned chest!!!

Don't worry, you'll all get an invite to the wedding!!!

Take care and have fun, Anna xxxx
(soon to be the new Mrs Ramsay!!!) xxxxxx

Oh yeah forgot to tell you...

It's the new series of 'Gordon's Kitchen Nightmares' tonight... (fingers crossed he takes his shirt off again for this series!!)

I'll let you know how fine he is looking once I have seen it... ;-)
