HI great to hear from you hope you are still enjoying yourselves the views look spectacular. Ken is very happy after seeing Spurs win 3 2 last night and stay in Europe Matt is skiiing so my brother used his ticket. Lots of colds about so hoping I don't get another one lovely here this week but they say we may have snow showers next week so back to woolies. Thought I would do the abstain from chocolate as usual so Ian leaves a box of maltesers on the middle desk I haven't had any but they are nearly gone guess who! take care love from us all.

Hi both, still enjoying your journals and pics it looks absolutely amazing, been back a week after spending a week in Tenerife with San & Pete which was really good, done lots of walking the barancas, and went up the mount but no snow on top. Also met up with Uncle Ian and Helen a couple of times which needless to say, little too much wine had by all, keep having fun and enjoying yourselves.

Well, it was so lovely to see you both, we had a great evening. Really hope the rest of the trip is as good as it has been so far!! Take care and give Dad and Mamasand a big hug when you see them!! Happy travels!!!!!!

Well you guys, - you really have surpassed yourselves this time with the photos - they are brilliant! part. liked the one in the paraglider - I really think that it sums up your whole trip - FUN FUN FUN!! You lucky peeps! Really enjoyed the glacier ones too, the lakes look fantasic - I would have run off 1000 pics without a thought!! Took 150 @ some gardens @ the weekend so goodness knows what I would be like there! Mum' s getting better Linda. i think she will be better when they get her actually out of bed. i have run off some of these photos for her to cheer her up and your phone calls really help too. Didnt care much for that wibbly wobbly bridge but thought i could be quite happy in that little Churchers Hut - tiny people only! back to work for me on Monday (pt time) yippee. speak soon and keep up the fun - over to jeans today to see THEIR NZ pics. and to hear all thier news. love to you both x x

Hi Aunty Linda and Uncle Ronnie(I promise to stop calling you guys that when i turn 40) We woke up last week to snow and -14, so its always nice to look at your pictures, though i don´t think i would have gone up in the balloon, you were both really brave.I can´t remember when you will be getting back, but i think it will be before i get home.We are going to have a party in the garden ,like we did for dads birthday, for when i turn 40.I am already counting the days, i am looking forward to hearing more about all your adventures.Take care and see you both soon.Love from Simone and boys.xxx

Hi you two - looks a bit fresh at times way down there in the Sarf!! Only 2 degrees warmer than here at the moment. our family tells us it is much warmer in the north - so that will be ok. Scenery looks amazing though. what a pain about the tours. Those hydrangeas were amazing too in Queens park Linda - matched your jumper nicely! Been to see John @ Woodlands. he is getting on fine - hoping to be back home on Tues or weds. They send you their regards. Being invaded by the canadians on March 22 - that should be fun!! Enjoying the photos. Speak soon. lots of love x x x

Hi Ron and Linda Hope you are both well and still having a great time. Looking forward to your next journal entries and some more photos!!please. Take care Ginge Sharon and Boys

Hi lovely to hear from you both this morning, sorry we were cut off, the line went dead, the power in the office went off, must be something to do with all the SNOW we were having, but, as I type, the snow has stopped, its bright and seems to be thawing, hope so, although it is very pretty. Glad you are still having a great time, we are still enjoying the pictures and journals. The bat's story seems amazing what a sight. Really must do some work now so take care. Love Chris & Dave
