Just returned from UK. Great to catch up on all your news! from the pics we've seen, you're obviously having a wonderful time. You both look well. Girls will be going back to school probably this weekend, a bit late for the start of school but that's ok. They're good at catching up. Much love to you both.

Hi little Sis and new BIL,
I'm convinced you guys visited a zoo a month or so ago and played with some very tame animals and reptiles. Every now and then you try and impress us all and whip out these pics of "wild creatures" probably taken at like London zoo or something. I know my sister and theres no way that anaconda was real .......... hhmm, does Madame Tusards have a new South American "experience" maybe? Love the fake tan and Cath, Mom won't be impressed with you wasting that tomato sauce on your hands for fake "blood". You know how she hates you wasting food like that. Was that my bike you were using...? Make sure you get all the tomato sauce off it please!
Well, thats my theory anyway...eithar that or Matt really is bringing out the reaaaal you! Don't think I've ever seen you even break into a sweat before...apart from the 2 Oceans where I dragged you around for 21 km's. OK, off to fight a monkey.....or break up 2 monkeys fighting. Speaking of the monkeys, Connor and Hannah send their love and ask if you'll bring back either a llama or an alligator. They say they aren't fussy.
See ya,
Sean

Hello to you Catherine and Matt.
Greetings and God's Awesome peace from my home to wherever you two are in the world. Greetings from a small town called Spring Hill. Florida. USA. I am a friend of your mom and dad. Used to live in Meadowridge, came over to SA for a school reunion. Stayed at your parents house etc,etc,etc...... I have looked at your photos and am truly amazed that you are able to visit all these places. What an opportunity for you both. Now that I have your web page, I will look in from time to time. Jean.

Hi guys!
Greetings from overcast Melbourne! (and a slightly belated happy birthday to Matt) Incredible photos - that D70 is obviously getting a workout! Sounds like you are living the beautiful life yourselves over there in S America.
So we're in our new house now, enjoying loads of space compared to Hartfield Crescent. Also the leafy views over the Yarra Valley where many of the so-called Heidelberg School of Australian Impressionists painted - there was a nice exhibition here recently.
Haven't done much travelwise of late. Going up to Darwin in August to play with the crocs in Kakadu - you guys should go up there while you're in Oz. Then we're going to France for a wedding in September - hopefully will sate our appetite for Euro-culture for a little while...
Looking forward to catching up down under
Love
Geoff & Irene

Hey guys! Have so enjoyed your photos from Bolivia - stunning views and just LOVED the arty shots on the salt flats!
So here's some news from Wim...the weather is terrible - rain, rain and more rain...Dea successfully completed the 50 mile Nehemiah bike ride last Sunday, and James, Sarah, Niks, Bec, Debs and me had great fun marshalling - stopping the traffic from Guildford to Tooting was a real power trip!!....tennis starts on Monday, so we're getting ready for the annual invasion...celebating Malcolm and Cathy's ten years at QRC on 8 July with a party at the church...
Looking forward to the next photo-instalment!!

Hi guys,
Hope you are both well - sounds like you are having an amazing time - I am very jealous and all my bones just want to come and join you - but I am not so sure that hubby of mine (and brother of yours) would want to do the same - or he would very a week or 2 at tops!!!!! We are all well - just freezing cold in what has been a very wet and cold Cape Town of late! Kids are well. School holidays are looming in a week's time. Went to a parents info evening on entering Grade 1 last night - a bit scary that we have reached that stage already - so much responsibility - for the parents - let alone the kids!!!!!! Off to Darling tomorrow night with work - as a "thank-you for the year and a celebration of 3 yrs on their own", they are taking all of us and our partners to Darling for the night for dinner and a show with Pieter Dirk Uys - and overnighting in guest houses there - should be great. Sean is away on a management course for 3 days, so will meet us there on Friday evening - will tell you all about it. Must be off and do some work. Lots of love from all of us here. Miss you. Take care.
