Lucy, must you make up random songs on every trip you go on??

Liked the latest batch of photographs... but I'm puzzled as to why Bondi Beach was so deserted. What did you girls do to frighten everyone else away?
Enjoy your time in NZ.
Lots of love.

I have absolutely nothing to say except HOLIDAYS - WOO HOO! Up at Ma and Da's for BBQ - I seem to have somehow uninstalled my modem - ah well! Loving all the photos. Particularly like the yellow jacket on the boat and your face is so beautifully controlled! Ciao xxx

Hi Louise, have just spoken with your Mother who led me to your journal - what a surprise! I didn't even know you'd left the country and so long ago, you must tell me sometime how you are managing to finance this adventure!!

Clearly you and Lucy are enjoying yourselves. If you are any where near Warwick in Queensland you should try & look up some distant cousins from the Scrimgeour side of the family - your great great grandmother was Davida Scrimgeour - they have a farm which I think is called Netherby - & I know your Gt Gt Gt Aunt Liz Scrimgeour visited them. Her cousin was called James Tindal Steuart Scrymgeour who, although blinded in the 1st World War, was a very successful cattle breeder. He had two daughters one of whom, Patricia married a Mr Patrick Bate & took over the running of the farm. The other Diana is/was a renowned shorthorn cattle breeder. Let me know if you manage to meet them.
I hope the rest of your trip goes well. Take care of yourselves.
Lots of love, Davida

Oops, Lucy, that should have read kangAroo - blame the late hour and the fact that I'd been out with your mum !!
Muriel

Hi Lucy, Great to read your journal and see the photos of your trip. Sounds like you're having a wonderful time. Please, please, please, ignore your sister's request for a baby kangeroo - I have enought problems with Bella !!!
Love Muriel
