Now then you pair. I have today browsed the photos and post cards thus far. If you take away all the fabulous escapades you have got up to for now - it would just be enough to look at your faces in the photos, to see that just being together would be enough. You have cheered up a heavily pregnant 30 something with cabin fever but who lives in fear of going out through shame of buying magnums and eating a five pack in one day. I must get help. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I love you both very much G x

Ju, those photos are ace! It looks like you had a great time on the farm, it makes me want to don a pair of overauls and wellies too! Can't wait to catch up with you

Re: 'Note to self: think up some witty retorts to stump King Kong set security guards'. Can't beleive you forgot "Stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf-herder". Once used by another feisty gal in a land far, far away. So I'm told. Great to know you got to see dolphins. Keep on keeping on. Rob ;)

Hi Ju! It's been ages since we've been in touch! Just coz you're in Wellington having the most amazing time, it doesn't mean you can forget about me freezing my but off here in Queenstown. Will you still be in Wellington at the end of June? That's when I'll b heading back up that way and I want to stop there a few days as I haven't had chance to see it yet.

Miss you hun :) Liz x

dear j, hope you are well, going bankrupt soon, gavin henson is going out with charlotte church, no other news

Hi, just writing to verify that I have read the latest postcards and that everything Ju wrote about the South Island trip is correct. It was a fantasic week. Seeing the pure delight on Julee's face everytime we saw a dolphin rise out of the water was worth the 30 hour flight alone. However the cost of arranging to have dolphins trained and transported o New Zealand from Skegness Aqua World was quite steep. But as Papa Smurf once "it was worth it". God I'm rambling, too much coffee. I am sill in Auckland, being lazy, it's good, but it's not as good as being with Ju. I could I'd be back there quicker than you can say 'cruisy'.

Hi Julee! Sounds like you're having a fabulous time! When you come furhter South, I suggest you swing by Queenstown where many of you're chums are currently residing (me, Debs, Simon, plus Dave, Jen & Helena) or there may be some very disappointed people :) If you're here at the beginning of April, you might even time it right to meet Steve...Debbie is dying to meet him ;)

Keep having fun, have a glass for me at the vineyards

Yes I am here, my ship landed on Sunday and I have spent the last few days entertaining the natives. Am currently in Rotorua which smells of really bad eggs, and looks like the kind of place where swearing in public would be frowned upon.

yes darling - i had a call from Auckland last night funnily enough. after 30 hours of watching movies, no sleep and bizarre food (sounds like a normal weekend for him), he fought his way thru customs, unfortunately having to explain the strange contents of his bag - a suede skirt, a leather blouson jacket and some women's walking boots. he then jettisoned himself into the city, checked in to his b&b and promptly locked himself in the bathroom and couldn't get out. look out - there's a drama queen on Queens Street!
he gets his hire car on Tues and will apparently be speeding down here "like a Nazi on crack". i should have him in my hands by Thursday if all goes according to plan.
next week will see us taking a bicycled wine-tasting tour of the Malborough vineyards and prancing like t*** throughout the environs of Wellington. expect more gate-crashing of KK sets.
