Hi Helen and Mark

I have spoken to my friend Emma in NZ and she has given me her contact number for you. 094756717 she lives in Browns Bay. Her mother is my friend Pam who is visiting her there for 2 weeks from 7 Feb together with Emma's sister Katherine and 2 sons (Jack and Georgie). Emma is married to Chris Stitson who is running a SpecSavers business. They went out to NZ last year to start up the business. They have a small daughter Evie and an older daughter who is at UEA and who visited them in January this year. If you want any more info email me.

Love Grannnie xx
