Haven't been on your blog for ages - wonderful catching up and looking at all the beautfiful photos. You all look so healthy and full of life. The camper van is amazing, now I could go anywhere in that hotel on wheels. Not much to report here. Missing you all like mad. Big hugs.

PS. Any chance you could kidnap a koala for me?

Hi toby and Michele,

I showed Gill (Ryan) your blog and she was delighted to see the pictures of NZ and thought your girls were lovely. She remembered Kaikoura and watching the whales there and says she recognises the whale in your photo!! She also says to tell you that Jonathan would be pleased to see you if/when you get to Sydney. Jonathan lives in Clareville, close to a super beach.

Hi to you all.Just loved the photos ofthe Great Ocean Road.How wonderful the scenery is and you saw the koalas in a natural setting. We are enjoying some warm weather and making the most of it. You all look so well and relaxed. The family all send their love to you. I loved the photo of the girls on the beach with the life guards, where was Toby!!! spending a fortnight in South Africa.Looking forward to seeing Andrew and Ethan.love to you all.Keep on having wonderful adventures Vivixxx

Gosh, your photos bring back memories!!! Isnt Aus great? Can you see why we nearly stayed!! Although as you have experienced the weather is no more reliable than England!!! It was good to see photos of the lifeguards, koalas and the Great Ocean Road. We saw our best koalas in the Otway NP too!!! Is it not all amazing? The girls are very amazing and keep asking whenwe can go back!! Continue having a great time with all those memories of life travelling with the girls!!! Cant wait to see you all and catch up. Alice is on half term this week and Chloe next so it is a juggling game with work - although I am not complaining. Got a trip to Bocketts Farm and Weald and Downland next week so we hope the sun stays shining in the UK - although it will probably be snowing, this great weather cant continue. Lots of love from us all Anne, David, Alice and Chloe XX

Just to let you know you're not the only people having a ball - I've just got home from a 'non-school-holiday' week's break in Cornwall. I guess the sun wasn't quite as hot, the sea so blue or the wild-life so exotic as you are encountering - but it was a lot of fun. Your photos are great and give a real flavour of all the fun you're having - keep up the good work. Miss you all loads. Safe travelling.

Hello,

Sorry it's been ages since we've caught up on your news - it looks like you're having a fabulous time - how lucky to be seeing so much.

We've been having some sunny and mild weather here, inspiring us outside for a change!

All' well here - Dave's just got back form South Africa - also sunny and warm, but he was working (some of the time at least!)

Only one week to go before half term - it's healthy living week at Pewley and there's a fluffy at HT on Friday, so not all nose to the grindstone.

We hope you are continuing to enjoy yourselves - isn't it tiring having only a night in most places?

From your admiring friends, Jules, Dave, Emma and Fred xx

Fantastic too see you all having such an amazing time on your travels. Andy and Jen said it was great to see you in Wellington. Jazzy is walking about now which is hilarious. Love to all the girls.

We have been marvelling at all the wonderful scenery you have been enjoying - how have managed to stay so clean looking? Our four days camping left us looking distinctly grubby and the hairstyles couldn't be recorded!! Anyway, it looks the most fabulous experience.

We had a great time with Caro and her three kids over Christmas - they had never seen snow before so buidling snowmen, skating outside on the ponds and skiing were a huge novelty. It was really special spending time with them all - although a different kind of holiday with the children's ages ranging from 2 - 12. Lots of different needs.

We have spent the weekend indoors apart from a brief outing to watch Rachel play basketball against a very tall team.... no need to mention the score!. It is 30 below outside (Farrenheit) and we are severely in need of sunshine that warms. But the snow is still pristine and beautiful.

We have three weeks to go before Rachel's Spring Break and have planned a week on Cozumel - so will try to emulate your snorkelling prowess!!!

So looking forward to seeing you all in July and hearing about your great adventure.

With much love from us all,

Jen, Rich and Rachel xxx
