Glad to hear from you again. You had been quiet for a while. Just in case you dont know the pope is dead and being buried on Friday. Charles has had to postpone his wedding until Saturday so he can attend the funeral. The general election has been called for May 5th so you may be home in time to vote. The ferraras have left eastenders. AND I think they are dealing drugs in the aquatic shop opposite my office window!!!!!!!!!

Oh I wish I was there , never been to Cook Islands , can't wait for photos and postcards - oh actually I will have to won't I

OK, so i lied. Internet keeps going down so please bear with me and I'll update as soon as I can. Phone number here is (682) 21849 and ask for me!!! S xx

Hello,
How r u, what's it like where you are at the moment? I hope your having a great time! Elliot's band has a drummer called Stuart and I listened to them, they're are really good- you never know what might be round the corner!!!???

In the Cook Islands now and have located fairly quick, not too expensive internet, so I'll try and get up to date in the next few days. For now I've added one card from Auckland, but there will be no photos for a while as that is far too advanced for this place. NO mobile phone service at all here either, so don't be offended if I haven't replied to texts!! S xx

All my love and hope you are well; love you lots. There will be a treat when you get back - a secret!

Hi ya honey, just cruising your site, not much to say as I always put it in the secret e-mails!!! Could you take some bad weather photographs I'm sure it will make us all feel a bit better. Going out to lunch today with James, Anton, Chris and the bubby, got to take lee though! (there's always a catch to these things). Love ya x

You may not get your snowmobile ride this year Sherry. We have had three days of above zero weather, and the the weatherman informs us that there will be another week of day-time highs of above zero. this also puts paid to the sleigh-ride and the B-B-Q inthe bush! Were all looking forward to your arrival on the prairies. The steaks are being selelected and the bevs will be in the cooler. You can relax and slouch around to your hearts content. Have fun! Love from us both Mel and Shirley

Birthday card received....before reading the inside, I thought "boy, that looks just like me!" Thanks a lot and hope you are having a sunny time. I think spring is on the way here in Winterpeg.....no more ice skating as the rinks are all slushy. Temp to go up to 15 this weekend and will hopefully remain for your arrival.

Sounds like you might have been sitting next to my mother on that auckland flight!

Back (again!) from Meribel. Its much colder here than there strangely enough. Hope you had a good Easter and a good birthday. Any chance of some more photos?

Happy Easter everyone - hope you are all having fun and enjoying the long weekend. Internet extortionate here, so updates later. Hoping to go diving this afternoon - at least I'll stop sweating beneath the water!! S xx
