Hello all. Just to let you know we got our surfboards yesterday they are great. Had a splash around and did ok!! Dad it takes soooooo long to upload the photies we have not had a chance to rotate them yet but we will get round to it. Jossy hope you are warming up petal need to keep wee Jo warm!!xxx

Please stop taking every other photo sideways - I am getting a sore neck!!! Would you bring me back a parrot or koala or one of those pig things - I think I am ready for a pet again.

Big 'pain in the neck' Daddy
