Hello Grace and Jess- hope you're both ok. Well haven't heard from you for a day or so- what are you up to? Are you doing anything special on your birthday and have you thought that when it's the 21st March in New Zealand, it will only be the 20th here- for a few hours anyway. So when will you celebrate it?? Hope all is well. Speak to you soon. Love Mum xxxx

PS for Alexander

spelling errors noted

attachment- no t before ch

apostrophes- no i

definitely- an e before the ly

There is hope however as procrastinating was correct!! HOORAY!

After reading the latest messages, while eating my ham sandwiches for dinner, I tried to leave a post, got the maths question wrong 3+1=5.

Does this mean that I am not a real person and my bot will now post some spam?

Hey Grace and Alexander, do you think your Mum will notice Gran didn't put an apostrophe in between Wendy and s????
Actually she didn't forget to put it in - she couldn't find it on the keyboard!!!!!!

By the way my sums are getting easier. 1 + 1 = 2

Good to hear you are having a wonderful time Grace and Jess. I am sending this from Aunty Wendys at the moment. She and Mark and Max have gone into farming--have bought three pullets!!. Mark is going to put a mirror in the fowl pen.!!! different?

We missed you on Sunday but had a lovely meal as usual.It was good to see Alexander as well. I am sure he has grown a few more inches. Emily was busy doing work for school some of the time.
When you come home we will celebrate all the birthdays you have missed.
I envy you for seeing all the interesting places you will be visiting during the next few weeks. Wish I was there too.

Love Gran xxxx

Don't forget your apostrophies Grace! That's definitly spelt wrongly.

Oh well, some of us get wit and good looks others get neither and just can't spell! Just so we're clear that's you! Just like to point out Lindz put an extra space after a bracket on her last post - SHAME ON YOU LINDZ!

I'm currently procrastinating yet again. Hope sandboarding and swimming with dolphins is good. No doubt it will be.

Go skydiving, even if you are attatched, you were attatched to a bungy cord!When are you paying for me to come and see you?

Is it warm there?

1+4=5 well that's just repetative!

Love you

Hi Grace (and Jess)

We're really enjoying reading your blog and messages. Don't think either of us would be brave enough to bungy !!

Can't believe how much you've done in 2 weeks. Have fun and go for it all !

Love AP + UJ xx

Hi Grace and Jess

We had a great time yesterday with "the Linz and Malc" - and Gran, Emily and Alexander. Pauline (Mark's mum) thoroughly enjoyed herself too. In fact we might go back there (Cartref) again as their hospitality is pretty good!!!!
We all toasted you in NZ.

Gracie, your Mum was very clever with her use of hostel and inkeeping, don't you think?

Look forward to reading more about Whangarei and Fiji.
Are they in Australia??? (Only joking!)

You need to get some photos posred on this blog- would love to see you and what you're doing!!

Love Mum xxxx

Hello Pud- have just logged on and have been looking at Whangarei and Fiji and where you're off to next. You are close to ( well relatively speaking) to Papua New Guinea where Mark's sister Pauline is living.

By the way you wrote the correct 'too'- am impressed!!!

Emily has Ofsted tomorrow and Wednesday but doesn't seem too phased by it.

Hope the latest hostel is more inkeeping with what you're used to.

Speak to you soon. Love to Jess.

Love Mum

PS Gran should be posting a blog soon!!

swimm with dolphins gracie i have and it was AMAZIN!!!!!!

Oh and Will - with water touch you can go fully fledge soaked or half way or just the head, i went about half way - it was a bit of a shock to the system ill tell you that much! xxx

2+2 again - it must know its to early for sums!

Love you xxx

Hello all!

Ill give you 'the girl just cant spell' Alexander William!

hope evryone had a fabulous day Sunday (yesterday). it was lovely to have a chat, all be it very quick!

Lilly- Water touch bungy is a bungy where you can request to hit the water below or not (i requested not to but obviously the request got lost in translation somewhere!)

I did infact mean hang over! it makes me laugh thinking of Linz asking Big Malc 'what a hand over is??' lol! dont worry uncle charles - i believe that part of the brain was never fully developed - if anything i think drinking may help!

Not sure about the Sky Dive Linz! im not sure if i fancy it or not - i always fancied the bungy, and the white water rafting, but the sky dive is what people have told me is awesome - however you have to be strapped to someone else (invasion of privacy me thinks) and you have no control. I dont know whether it would be better so save the dosh and spend it in Thailand doing some whater sports - or there is always sandboarding in the next place we head - or swimming with dolphins! what do people think? give me suggestions people???

Yeah use the vouvher Linz - have yourselves a chocolate feast!

We headed out the crappy hostel at around 8.30am this morning and are waiting to check into the new place - we have booked our bus to Whangerai for 8.30am tomorrow (im an early bird now!) so just one more evening here!

And Maxy - HEELLLOOOOOOO to you too (and auntie wend and Marky of course)! [was that the correct to/too/2 there Linz?]

Lots and Lots of Love to everyone! I Love logging on and reading all the messages from everyone on the Message board! Good one family!

I got 2 + 2! simples!
