Great blog. Very jealous apart from thr bungy. Thanks for eclairs. Looking forward to lazy Fathers Day. Off to driving range while mum boot sales, fair amount of TV - test match, England U21 football then US Open golf - Rory McIlroy 8 shots ahead, then Chinese this evening. School is pretty relaxed at moment - just GCSE Stats to go. Staff student golf opn Wed. Could do with better weather though! Just reading Ian McGeechan's book with sections on Lions tours to NZ. Lots of familiar places from your blogs. Speak to you tonight. Take care. Love Dad xxx

hi darling, glad all going well despite the weather.The wine tasting would suit me fine but i think i would leave the horse riding out!!Killing possums sounds a bit gruesome!Stay safe, enjoy,love u xxx

Becky,

Sounds like a brilliant time. NZ sounds like a real active kind of place judging by the activities you have been doing. Have vaguely heard of some of the places from reading about Lions tours and nice to get more info about them. Looked up your 19k walk on net and it seemed to describe it accurately according to your blog. Off to Lymington in New Forest today for a couple of nights. Weather looks good so might even get dip in sea - not quite same as Pacific Ocean though!

Take care. Love Dad xxx

Glad you enjoyed the Aussie Rules, mate. Seem to remember the ref bouncing the ball on the ground to restart games. Don't know if they still do it. Think you will have to go to The Comedy Store in London when you return - the starting point for a lot of famous stand-ups. Just got back from Oxford. Lovely time looking round the dreaming spires, lots of famous colleges. Nice friendly hotel, went for a couple of cycle rides along Thames towpath, weather stayed fine, all good. Off to Grandmas on Monday. will try to show her again how to look at blog. No chance!

Take care. Love, Dad xxx

Glad you had a nice time in Oxford! One thing- lets hope Grandma doesn't remember how to use it as she will be able to read your comment!! Numpty!!

Love you xxx

Gee mate,

Sounds like a good time in Sydney. How pricey was it? Fancy looking around Olympic Park. Good that you actually get to go in the changing room and swim in the pool. Good value. Having talked to Graham about his trip, something we might well do on retirement. Looking forward to seeing the pictures. Enjoy sevens.

Love, Dad. Take care xxx

Heya!

Yeh can't really complain with Sydney! Wish I had more time there but it was pretty expensive! I managed to get a hostel for about GBP20 but it was a good trek from the harbour!

Yeh you should definitely do it! Theres so many amazing places to see!! Think you and Mum would enjoy the Blue Mountains and the Olympic Park!! Pictures are on FB now so get Charlie to show you when she's next home! Can't wait for the sevens! Apparently a lot of the hostels are already full so should be a turn out!!

Love you, miss you

No worries, mate. Cricket not going too well. We were 229 - 6, SL are 90 without loss. Not prominsing. At least the Aussies went out, although good to see Ponting get ton - have a lot of time for him. England v Wales at football this afternoon. All big teams through in HK. England have Russia in 1/4 final Sun. Looking forward to Crusaders tomorrow. Not so keen on your shark stories, but imagine most are pretty harmless. Must get the adreneline going to see that fin above the water though. Going to try to put some work on Ipods for Year 11 next week! Will need a bit of help to do it, but hopefully it will get even the most lazy ones interested. Off to cut grass before hitting Sky Sports later. Love, Dad. Take care xxx
