I know itwas lovely and they grow theyre own veggies so i had to try them! Was lovely having a roast dinner at last! xxx

Hi Just seen the latest photos, how kind of Peter & Jen to give you a xmas dinner with crackers too, was that vegetables I saw on your plate, no must have been seeing things!!!

Thanks for your message Kris. The Bay of Islands is supposed to be beautiful so hope you enjoy it. Sounds like you are still enjoying yourself - told you, didn't I that NZ is now Middle Earth. Loved the pics of Hobbiton though! Aren't you and Kate the brave ones then, all this sky diving! All this fainting too. Did it a couple of times and hated it. Sorry about the emotional genes, I cry at the drop of hat and especially if Nanny starts, apparently it comes from Granddad's father. I am going to see Nanny and Granddad later this week. Yes, she often sounds upset but don't worry about it. Mum has promised to tell me about Kate and Miami, from their message so you they sound a really annoyed. Love Aunty Pat

I havnt heard from her either have text her but no reply so far have you tried emailing Chris????

O/T (Sorry Kris) If that ratbag of a sister contacts you, will you let her know that Dad & I are going to kill her when she gets home,& that we would like to know where she is in Miami! Write to you in a few days. xxxx

Well me and Jono have just done a 15,000 feet skydive over lake Taupo i was absolutely shi**ing it but we did it, i had to chose the 15,000 feet jump as then i can say i jumped higher than you Katie! It was over a minute freefall and was unreal! Such an amazing experience but scary, i have put the pics on my website and sending the dvd home so if your ever at Mum and Dads have a look at it! xx

Hi Ali sorry hun give me your address and of course i shall send you some postcards, and thanks for detroying my report i did scam $40 out of them!!!! Your message really made me laugh xxx

Hi Squirt, Happy New Year to you both. Looks like you are having an amasing time and I am very jealous. Like Auntie Pat, I have been camped outside my post box for the the past 2 months and harrass the postman daily for a post card from cousin Krissie, to no avail. He thinks I am a sad desperado, which is true to a certain extent. I did have a message from a Las Vegas Casino about a tall slim blonde casino cheatdiva that goes by the name of Bewshear that they wanted the Met Gaming Unit to investigate, but fortunately I destroyed the report for you so I expect 50% when you get back. Anyway, happy travelling and remember: dont talk to any strangers and dont forget your sun screen (you dont want any premature aging ;) xxx

Hi Aunty Pat happy New Year to you. Yes i have been fereezing in the south island some places were awful weather but hopefully should get warmer the more north we travel. Nan made me cry on xmas day cos she sounded upset which made me upset....all runs in the family getting emotional i blame mum and nans genes!!!!!Have sent some more post cards should be on their way xxx

Happy New Year. Back at work with a few moms to spare so read your latest journal entries. You look absolutely perished in some of the photos. It looks as if UK is warmer than NZ at the moment. Glad you were able to have a bath and got to see some Sky TV - must be strange so far from home to see programmes we have over here because I think NZ TV takes a lot of our progs. Nanny told me you rung her on Christmas Day - she was really pleased. Love Aunty Pat

Hi hun Am glad your having a good time. Thanx for the text. Hopefully il be able to speak to you soon. Am really missing you lots!!!xxxx

Hi Kris - Merry Christmas Love and have a great day. Mum and Dad will be very glad to hear from you I know. Bungy jumping may be a young person's dream but I think I agree about your feelings about doing it. I always fancied a parachute jump like Kate did but maybe not! Went up on a wire in a glider once and loved that. Boxing Day sounds exciting - enjoy Love Aunty Pat
