Hello everybody,

Hope you all had a fantastic christmas and Santa was generous. It was great to speak to those of you who we could. It was a nightmare to get connected as all networks going to the UK were congested. We had a great day, with our "traditional" xmas dinner consisting of bbq sausages, chicken kebabs, salad, new potatoes and copious amounts of wine! and of course a bottle of champagne! (We toasted you all! many times!) It really was a weird day, but thanks to both families for their input into our great tshirts featuring all their ugly mugs and with a special thanks to Nana and Grandad Watson for our fab xmas hats, socks, crackers and goodies it made our day!

We are currently in Greymouth on the west coast, working our way down to the glaciers in the next couple of days. We should be there for New Years but still have to find a pub to celebrate in. We would like to wish you all a very happy new year and we look forward to spending a happy 2007 with you. Please dont worry if we dont call as we imagine the networks to be even worse, but we will try. And we of course will toast you all again, many times!!

Parents - we will be with the Betneys by next weekend so will be in touch to arrange a skype with y'all over the weekend. Cant wait to see all of your lovely faces!

Hope you are all ok, missing you loads, love you more

Zoe and Paul
