my mum is still in ibiza. she comes back around 23rd october. she had her bag stolen last week with their house keys for their house over there, money, jeep keys, safe keys and her great manhattans wallet in her bag! she is gutted. she saw who done it too!! but the police are as crap as they are here!
charlie started speech therapy last week. he's getting much better. he is in pre-school now so really its not long till he goes to school! scary thought hey? he really loves it in pre-school too so thats good!

Hi Chief and Laura
Sounds like a great time being had, a bit different to our hols in sunny Yorkshire. I expect you will want me to wait on you even more when you get back now you are Chief Tristan!! only joking!
Keith and I are still seeing who can get to see the photos first so keep them coming it keeps him awake. Look forward to hearing from you soon . Love from mum and keith xx

hey you all, hope you all like the photos of fiji and new zealand it took a while but we finally got them on the net. we got our underwater photos developed yesterday they are really good tris took a super one of a manta ray, david attenbrough eat your heart out.
we've just been looking around auckland round markets and shops ect, its a real pain when we can't spend though. sob.
really nice to hear from everyone we love getting new messages ( and sulk when we log on and nobody has emailed or left a message!!) unfortunately the gig in auckland has been cancelled which is not good so we are hoping to get going a bit earlier off to mercury bay then roturua to see all the volcanic activity go rafting in caves and that too. about time we did something energetic we've been well lazy lately ( mum that may be why we look so well??!!)
get well to our friend ian too if you get round to reading this, got beaten up pretty bad for being a nice guy and now just had metal plates put in his face. good job they got the bar steward who did it hope they throw away the key. were going to hold off the terminator jokes for another few days, at least till your feeling a little better.
well thats about all for now, speak to you all soon
love laura and tris

hey again
just to say to james happy birthday, I'm very sorry to have missed it but as i said in the email the islands we were on did not have phones or internet or even electricity, there only contact to the outside world was a radio phone!! so there was no way we could get in touch. we will phone as soon as we can too but even on the main land they don't have normal pay phones! so it might be in new zealand when we'll phone and get photos up. any how hope you had a great birthday, mum said hereford won again!! yay.
