Hi Bro,not spoke for a while so I thought I better check up on you.I believe you are now teaching for a while,dont tell them too much or they will end up as clever as us haynes.Take care and will speak again soon.Baz

Hello there,

Just a quick note to say hi, and say that we bumped into Chris, Vicky and Ruby on Saturday in Warrington. Ruby is just gorgeous. Chris was telling us about his snowboarding. David and him had a long chat, hopefully we will get across to Chill Factor to see him next Saturday. They all are looking very well and it was a nice catch up. Hope you are still enjoying it all! David and I off to Canada soon, can't wait! Will speak soon. Luv K&D x

Hi Dad/Grandad

The new photos look fantastic you are still keeping very busy arnt you.

Ruby loves her All Black hat thanks very much. We received the post card you sent us this morning, We are starting to tell ruby that her grandad is a famous explourer and is travelling round the world for lost arti-facts only joking but i think she is missing you cos the other morning on the phone she began to sign gandad gandad (no thats not a spelling mistake that how she says it).

Vickys family are fine, they all came to the chillfactore with me last weekend to have a good laugh at me i think was the first reason, but soon changed there mind when they saw i was actually quite good. Obviously I fell over a couple of times just for them, Erm i mean had to give them a bit of a giggle did'nt i so anyway they have all booked a taster session now when they saw how much fun i was having it is a bit of a bug though once you get started isnt it anyway glad to know you are still O.K. miss you loads take it easy huh what am i saying take it easy like you've got it all hectic.

Love you dad x

What a dope I am, if I had looked at your photos first I would have seen that you have already done New Zealand!!!!! Take care.

Luv K

Hi again,

David, Jeff and I had a brill time in Austria. Beautiful blue skies and enough snow to do us..... what more can I say. Got your text; can't believe you are off to China now.... you are cramming in so much. What are your plans after China are you going to New Zealand. Perhaps you could do a bit of boarding there if you go, sounds amazing. Anyway take care and enjoy.

Luv K&D

Watch out for those great whites Dude!! xx

Hi you,

Got your postcard from postie Rachel. Sounds like you are cramming in a lot on your travels... I have just logged on so I will catch up on the latest pictures. Keep enjoying yourself. By the way going to meet up with F in Jeff in Austria for some serious snowboarding. Then David and I are off to Canada again in March. Speak soon. Love Karen & David

Hi Dad

Love the pictures, glad to see some more of you too. Looks lovely there and Ayres Rock looks like somethng else. Keep us updated with details of next destinations etc. Shame about the diving photos not downloading, we'll wait till you get home to see them. Ken will be flying out to NZ a week on Wed so look out for him when you get there. Ryan is dancing around the room at the mo as 'The Mighty Spurs' are wholloping Arsenal's ass 4-1 (5-2 agg) so he's hoping they'll get to the final after this but it's all going - in Ryan's words - t*** up' since subbing Berbatov and Keane when there are still 30 mins to go and now the game has changed completely... well it makes sense to him anyway! Chris, Vic and Rubes are coming for a visit 8th Feb so we're looking forward to that, hoping it's nice so we can go to the zoo. Took your gifts for the girls over on Sunday, they all say to pass their thanks on, Grace loves her drum sticks - when she can get them off Niamh! Everyone was asking after you and where you were up to so said I'd let you know. We've been selling some bedroom furniture on E.bay to make space in Thomas' new bedroom, we got him new bed, wardrobe and drawers in a funky blue from Ikea so when that's all completely finished topped off a with lovely bedroom feeling we're having a grand opening for him so he can get used to it before the little one arrives, hoping to make it a place he'll be able/want to play in too. Hope you're staying out of mischief.

Speak soon

Hi you,

Sorry we both missed you when you were home. David said you have just text him, and you are in the middle of some very heavy rain! Mind you don't think it is that much better here!

Anyway have a ball in Aussie and New Zealand and look forward to seeing pictures and hearing about your travels. Take care.

Love Karen & David
