Snow and blue , blue sky , how beautiful it looks. Great to see you both (and George) of course having fun in the snow.

Loved seeing the pictures of you and the amazing scenery.

Loads of love as ever from us both xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Well done. Were you just smiling for the camera or were you really enjoying the event?

Your bicycle looks very similar to my new one, only mine has more spokes. I must buy you some mudguards.

Lovely weather here this weekend, but the volcano is still erupting so no flights. There will be some empty desks in the schools as people cannot return from their holidays.

Talk to you later.

Love and congratulations

Dad

Your day look to be great fun. Or as you would no doubt say 'awesome'. Fancy the Beatles still being alive in New Zealand!

I loved the close up shots of you Ruth, you look so well and happy. Pity that Adam was the photographer, on the other hand Adam takes fantastic photographs.

I'd love a day out like that!

Loads of Love as ever Mum and Dad of course xxxxxxxxxxxx

I really loved the sheep racing. Did the sheep have names? I did notice the numbers on them. Also were you betting on the races.

Looked to be a really fun day out. Brave souls climbing to those heights.

hello ruth

May I have some seafood on one of those "pizas" ?

What is the history behind the corrugated iron place? It has an originality all of its own.

I saw a uke player at a Torquay theatre in the fifties; his name was Billy Uke Scott. Idea for Adam!

The elephant in the sand looked just like one in a photograph taken in the thirties in Granny Baker's album.

Love Dad

hello ruth

I am missing you

We enjoyed the latest birthday pics. You used to wish for snow on your birthday and quite often you weren't disappointed. It's bitterly cold here but the snow stayed in the sough east and just about reached Birmingham. The flowers look particularly beautiful not to mention the sea and coastline. Stacey, Stephen and Chloe popped in, Chloe needs to dress up as Mary tomorrow so Mum rustled up a blue head dress for her and a shawl for her doll who's standing (rather lying) in for Jesus. In old England it is still your birthday so Many Happy Returns. Love you, Dad and Mum

Hi Ads & Ruth

Hey, I'm on your Photo Album, I'm famous! Thanks for making my trip to NZ so enjoyable, I had a great time. It was so good to see you both again. You're very lucky living where you do, so close to the beach and the lovely countryside. It's back to work for me now, the 5 weeks since I was last there has flown by. Will catch up on Skype again soon.

Cheers, Dave

Hello Ruth and Adam

It's wet here today, but I've still managed a post lunch ride on my bike. My second article on buses has just been published - different magazine this time, one that might pay me before they go bust. I should be busy working soon as the man is raising the official orders. I am going to Engineering Society tomorrow evening to hear a man speak on the new power station at Drakelow - Bernard is quite excited because he does like power stations. I may cycle to Draycotte in the Clay on Saturday to visit the steam traction engine party. I hope you are coping with the hand. All the best to you both. Love Dad
