Tu me manques beaucoup !!!!

Je t'embrasse fort

Ma chérie : impossible d'acceder à ma messagerie yahoo ! Je suis furax!

je voulais juste te souhaiter un:

bon anniversaire !!!! ma fille préférée !!!

je t'embrasse très fort !

Salut ma belle et le beau de ma belle,

C'est juilet en Lorraine et il fait un temps pourri, j'ai dû resortir les pulls et les vestes d'hiver. Tout le monde a le moral a zéro, tout le monde en a marre de se prendre de la flotte tout le temps.

Voilà c'était juste un petit coucou, tu me manques.

Bisous

So, you escaped Queenstown and managed to get upthe glacier? Looks like you had an amazing day's 'climb'.

Good to see NZ is still as dull as ever - no scenery; nothing to do; no excitement...! Delighted you went into the Kaikoura chippy... that must be the one on the corner by the bridge? Best chips any Johnny Foreigner can muster!

As ever, you've taken some fantastic photos and have clearly survived the language barrier - can't wait to read all about it!

As we swim from house to house here in Blighty, you enjoy.

Hey there Cool Cats (or is Snow Leopards more appropriate?)

So you're wedged in Queenstown under feet of snow? Great for the boarding, but don't take the camper van up the slopes. Hope you can get get those wheels moving real soon - you'll need to find a pump-out station and flip a coin for who does the poop suck! Much as we'd love to be there sharing the experience, don't envy you that one!

If you can get through Haast Pass, look out for Thunder Falls - may be ice sheets right now, but worth stopping to stretch the legs.

Tried a pie yet? Let's face it, it's quiche!

Looking forward to reading the next installments.

Loads of love from wet and windy England

Hi Andy and Soph!
Still in Patagonia? Saw the photos of your view at the perito moreno; great! Did you enjoy the massive amounts of ancient ice Andy? Just to let you know about our boat trip from Puerto Natales to Puerto Montt, it was nice. The food is good and the boat comfortable. The only downside was that we didn´t have the nicest weather which takes away viewing the scenery. Good weather makes the three day trip a lot better we think. We had loads of fun, but that is because you get to hang out with other people on board. They all have their own stories and interest. If you have the money and the weather forecast is good, do it.
Hope you find this usefull.

Andy, I´m assuming the offer of contacting you for more info on Rolls Royce or Airbus still stands?! I will in a couple months when i´m back home.

Have a good trip! Greets!

Hello Andrew and ma belle

I'm so sorry Andrew but this one too will be in french...i'm too tired to do it en english, hope that Sophie will translate it.

Bon comment que c'est ma toute belle ? Je n'ai pas vu vos dernieres photos mais je regarde votre site assez souvent pour voir si vous êtes toujours en vie. En France par contre nous envisageons le suicide collectif, un hara kiri national afin de préserver notre honneur et notre dignité de gauchiste caviardisé. Je me suis donc réveillée un matin atteint d'un mal qui parait-il va mettre 5 ans à passer : La sarkozite aigüe. Les symptomes sont un mal de c... effroyable et ce malgré les anti inflammatoires. Cela dit on m'a dit qu'en me lepénisant un petit peu ça passait tout seul. Et si je voulais vraiment ne plus rien sentir je pouvais aussi prôner l'eugénisme et devenir homophobe. Je sens que ça va être très long et j'espère ne pas avoir de séquelles plus tard. Ce week end j'ai rêvé que je votais à droite tu te rends compte !!!

Voilà blague à part j'ai un peu peur pour le maintien de mon outil de travail et j'ai un peu peur du visage de la France actuelle.

Nouvelles persos: on risque de s'installer à Meaux près de Paris pour la rentrée.  Rien n'est encore fait mais bon je te tiendrai au courant.

Je vous embrasse tous les deux très fort.

Hello Andrew & Sophie

Have sent e-mail tonight - hope you receive it OK  Caught up with your travel/blog at last - great photos.  Will e-mail again soon - take care.  Love Mom & ray XX

Hey you party animals - you've really shown the hostel how to live life, huh?? Lights out at 11 and three feet on the floor at all times?? ?

The blog & photos are keeping us entertained (and just a tiny bit envious that we can't practice our International English with you!) ... keep 'em coming but most importantly enjoy the next stage of your pipe & slipper evangelism!

Take care, have fun and all that
