Hi Melanie,

Just torturing myself on this cold and dreary monday morning by looking at all your pictures of your most excellent adventure. Wish I had done somethinkg like that 20 years ago. By the time I get round to doing it, it will be with SAGA Holidays!! Take care and keep having fun!

love,
Karen (and also Chris, Alex and Conor)

HA! Hey Jilly! xx

Hi Zak,

Just to say I sent you a birthday card ages ago c/o Nick 'cos I thought you might be with him by now - anyway the Anderson family were thinking about you and wishing you a brilliant birthday. Tom said last night he realized too late on 26th to get in touch. We're all thriving - Nicky is having another baby end of August/early September. Guy and Amie are off skiing for 4 days tonight - Guy having been ill for a week stayed at home for tlc and food....Granny Jane enjoying having Miles as a lodger till Easter.

For goodness sake don't take any more stupied risks with petrol! Stay safe and ENJOY.

Lots of love,

Lulu

HI GUYS
SO ON FRAZER ISLAND TODAY I THINK!!!! REMEMBER LAKE WOBBY JUST THE BEST!!!!! HAVE A FAB TIME THINKING OF YOU OTS AND LOTS! LUCY MAKES ME LAUGH WHAT SHE SAID ABOUT YOUR BROTHER QUALITY!!!!
STAY SAFE XXXXX

Marky???!! Is that you Mark??? When did you become Marky?? Am disturbed! Hope you ok though! xx

Hi Guy's just thought we'd check up and see how things are getting on with you both, apart from massive mosquito bites you both look healthy. The weather is crap here, very cold and miserable. Allan is dropping out of uni because he is too lazy, and Anthony is still a no hoper bum at tgi fridays so not much has changed. Anthony. on a good note my million selling book is going okay, plodding along with that, am still able to call myself a non-smoker, although four days ago that wasn't true! Allan, and im doubling my efforts on that front,
Zak, on a note of concern for you, Manchester United still trail Chelsea in the premiership, and Woking drew with Burton Albion at the weekend, just so your up to speed.
Angela and I might be going to Spain soon, by the way, maybe next month. We are looking at houses out there now, so we could have a property empire pretty soon! but don't worry, i'll be back in time for the world cup - so will you, ha ha!
Anyway, take care, keep the photos coming, and Zak, if you ever remember you email address, drop us a line!!

Darling Zak and Mel, loving all your reports of life in NZ and Oz. Thought I'd let you know that in about 1984 Bob and I were in Albury with the Knights and LIndsay flew us up to Brisbane in his plane then toMooloolaba (?spelling) where we spent a few days on his yacht and then up to Prosapine . He flew us all over the Whitsundays which was magical. Enjoy it all and take care of the sharks! Heaps of love Granny Jane P.S. Thank you for the xmas card xxxx

Hi you! Just read the last postcard, sounds great. Zak it's obviously genetic cos your dad is just the same with petrol, he always knows the last drop will get him there! We were very impressed with the photos of you handling the wildlife, Dad especially loved the one with the snake.Very happy birthday for Thursday, we will be thinking of you and hope you have a fantastic time, we're eating your birthday cake for you, there will be a card waiting with Nick & Katie. Let him know when you expect to get there. Have talked to Simon Bance and let him know the facts which he does not seem to be able to grasp! No problems though. We are going to Brighton on Sunday to see Charlie for her birthday as she not coming home. Xander takes his driving test 28 FEbruary so fingers crossed. We're off to Sri Lanka in two weeks hurray! Oh, by the way, Dad says good cricket today!!!
Lots of love to you both
