Hi you two, What an adventure. I am sure you put those two pics of David with the spider for my benefit! UGH!!! idn't mind the snakes or the tiger though! Andy is now walking into Horley - still limping and hurting but he's getting there slowly.

Take care Love G

Hello there in Vietnam. looks interesting what with tanks & so on. Brings the Vietnam war right back into focus!

Last Sunday we were in the San Vincens restaurant in Collioure in a howling gale but warm sunshine & today at home in the SE it is snowy! Managed to get Liz to Bath for another term of study but not a pleasant trip! Off to the apt. again in 2 & a bit weks so should get some sun! Not as exotic as your next venue I am sure.

Regards, S & S

Hi you two

Thought we'd have a quick look to see how your travels are going and wow haven't you been busy! Its cold and miserable here and looks so fab were you areso its lovely to enjoy the countries via your pickies. Love to you both and continue having fun. x x x x

Hi guys, just popped in to say hello - you seem to be having a wonderful time. Recognised some of the photos of places Gemma visited on her trip a while ago, particularly the glacier - stunning! Continue to enjoy yourselves! Love Christinex

Hi Guys,

Lovely to see the pictures of NZ, makes me very nostaglic for my visit there... still in Prague, despite a few changes on the work front, but have added Bulgaria to my portfolio, it is a bit liking visiting a film set for some spy thriller, the call centre I visited lent us a driver/bodyguard for the trip! Spent 7 hours sat at Sofia airport as some idiot had opened the emergency exit on the plane we were waiting for, so it had to be checked before take off. The glamour of travelling has paled a bit, but I am sure I could rekindle it to do what you are doing.

Spending a fair bit of time in Horley as well at the moment which is great, just can't remember which house everything is in, - have to keep buying new handbags to make sure I am accessorised properly if the matching one is in the wrong country

Look forward to the next installment on the blog,

love

Gill

Hi

What do you mean AA rescue, did you not learn anything at Godstone Workshop David lol.

Glad to see all going well for you.

Looks great from the photos, nice to see NZ, as a couple of my friends are emergrating out there in a few weeks.

Hope to catch up soon

Cheers

Matt

Hi-de-hi Campers,

Sorry to learn your van broke down, but pleased to read that NZ AA rescued you.

Glad you have made it to NZ via the US & that Sydney beckons. Some good images of the scenery in both US & NZ - got me reaching for my old school books re Physical Geography. Glaciers, moraines, hanging valleys & so on! knew I should have stuck with the geography!

Mixed weather here, but fairly mild so that is something. fair bit of rain in last few weeks so probably a hosepipe ban soon!

Give our regards to Oz.

Stephen (& Sally)

Pics are fab this time - wonder if that's because they are of more familiar sights? One of the sunset over the canyons I would like framed!

Hi you two - I think we've been here before! Great to be following your trail again. The blog and pics show you are definitley living it up in the lap of luxury compared to last time - tee hee - just winding you up!!!! :)Still looks cold though, but stunning views especially of the Grand Canyon.

A new member of our household is Sonny, a ginger Tom. He was 9 weeks old when we got him (the day Andy flew out to Saudi Dec 29th). he is now 11 weeks old and what a handful. I have forgotten what it was like to have a kitten - into everything, but he's lovely.

No knee op yet but in line for sometime this month or definitely by the end of Feb... so they say.

Be in touch.

Love Gaynor

Happy New Year! Just catching up on your blog-We need more pictures!Glad it's going well so far.

We returned from skiing mainly without injury apart from Rod's 1st night knee injury (avant ski). He fell off the stairs going downstairs to the bar. He was distracted by watching the Coventry
match being shown live on the TV. The upside was they won.

He did manage to ski but his leg was very++ swollen and bruised.

The novices all managed to get to an acceptable level and are keen to go again next year.

Take care-look forward to seeing the pics
