Jen, why no photos of you skydiving...?!

Just wanted to say happy birthday for tomorrow Jen, and I'm looking forward to the next blog.

Hope you guys are still having a great time . . . Have sent you both a e-mail (hopefully not too boring). If you get a chance, would love to hear from you guys again.

Just wanted to wish Jen a happy birthday for Monday! Am sure you'll have a great time and that Mr Pickle has bought you loads of fab presents!

Take care

Hey,

Joseph and I have just looked through the photos and read your blog entry and we have both been sitting here dribbling at the views and laughing at the thought of you in the kayak. NZ looks like the place to visit so we have added it to our 'places to visit before you die' list.

Haven't worked since xmas eve now with my last full day back in October....have forgotten what work is and don't fancy going back really. Maybe a stay at home dad is the way forward!!! Renee has started her new job now and so it's just me and the little man at home for the time being doing the feeding and the nappy changes!!!

Good to see that you had fun with Cheesey. He looks well but i didn't know that peoples chins continued to grow like hair and nails do......man it's big. Suprised they let him do the sky dive, thought there would be a problem with wind resistance or something!

Congrats to James and family - glad to hear mother and baby are doing well.

Take care in China etc and give me a call when you can, was great to speak to you the other day.

Love to you both.

Hi guys, Hope you're enjoying your last few days in NZ/ few days in OZ!!!! You've missed some amazing weeather here... as i'm sure you now it's been snowing for the past week and all my schools have been shut!! I've only had to go into work for 1 day... it's been great!!! Apparantly more snow is due on Sunday night but i doubt they'll let us stay at home amy more? I can but hope!

Any how hope all is well and can't believe you're half way though!!

Miss you tonnes, lex xxxx

p.s. Nick says hi!

Oh my word!!!! That was the funniest thing I quite possibly could every have read. The best thing was that I was there to share it with you guys.

I'm back at work now and let me tell you... I wish I was travelling with you guys and Lyn again!

You forgot to mention charades when we stayed at Picton with Megan and the drag - on, drag - on, drag - on..... DRAGON!!!!! Lets not forget what acting was done in trying to achieve our dragon.

If you guys have a chance it would be great to hear from you. My home number is 0889420770... The time difference to NZ and Darwin is four hours.

I also have an idea of you guys maybe coming to visit Darwin for a few days while youre in asia... But we can discuss that over the phone.

Keep Safe

Lots of love

Hey Guys!!!!

We just wanted to say thanks for a great few weeks. Hope your trekking is fun...

We are heading to see Lake Tekapo today as there is nothing much on the east coast.

Stay safe and enjoy the rest of New Zealand.

Lots of love

Paul, Lyn and Aswell

P.s. Really struggled to explain s***head to Aswell last night.

Dont know if you've got my messages of Merry Xmas and happy New Year so in case not - merry xmas and happy new year. Photos look fab - I feel like Im doing my year all over again- the NZ part anyway. Clarkey - get your hair cut - its longer than mine - you'll be non-stop flicking it soon! As you poss know Im out of here at Easter so will fill you in on a longer email later. So pleased you're having a top time, dont hold back on doing anything - debts go eventually!

Miss ya. love to you both

Dearest Jen and Rich,

We've just looked at all your photos and they look great. We'd both love to pop out and join you, especially camping on those lovely beaches. Well done with the skydive. Glad to see that you managed to hold onto your breakfast!

Meg would like you to know that she got a keyboard for Christmas and is busy tinkling on it as we speak. Sam and Rob at footie. Should be back in a bit so better go and get the dinner on. Oh what exciting lives we lead back here in blighty.

Love to you both

Have loads of fun

Much love

Emma and Megs xx

Great to speak to you both yesterday - Glad to know your having a great time . . . Lovely just to hear your voices!

Take care and keep us posted!

Love Wheelie

All our love mum and dad

Happy New Year to you both. Your pics are amazing!!!! Still missing you, cant wait til your back tc lots of love xxxxxx
