hi there. randomly stumbled upon your website while searching for gina! the gina of spangled ferrett from waiheke island. perhaps i should explain. my name's amy, i'm canadian from about 2 hours northeast of toronto but lived on waiheke island in new zealand for the last 7 months. (home now for a brief stay but eager to get back) i met gina thru a friend of mine on the island and quickly became a big spender on her original stunning jewelery and other lovely waiheke wonders. she also invited me to her beautiful home for some tea and homemade bread that was just delicious! gina's just a wonderful lady and i was so excited to see her name on your website i had to write and say it! travel well and safe!

You two don't hang around do you! It only seems like two minutes since you were here in New Zealand and already you've "done" Australia and are busy blasting your way around another continent. Well... fair play to ya!
It was great to see you both and to remember just how much fun we have when you're around. It's a shame you didn't get a chance to see too much of Waiheke Island, but at least we managed a good old-fashioned night on the lash in Auckland. If you had come to the island about six weeks later you wouldn't have had to sleep in the study... we've moved to a huge new house down the road, right next to the beach at Blackpool (the one that's lovely when the tide's in, but not so cute when it goes out). We've taken on an accommodation business and got a new workshop for SpangledFerrett, so it's been all change again. You have to come back and check it out.
Enjoy what's left of your trip (as if you need telling), keep safe and stay in touch.
Lots of love
Sean and Gina (the SpangledFerretts)

Just spent half an hour looking at your adventures. You both look absolutely wonderful and very happy. The adventure looks amazing. Martina - you look a lot thinner than me which is not difficult....wait till you see me, I only have 9 weeks to go. I am HUGE!!!!
When are you actually back in the country? Can't wait to see you again.

Point of information - Sue and Larry have not been near the gym in weeks.
Question - Where are the photos of the DUTCHMAN in Oz, Martina.
Great photos- don't need to ask after your health you both look ten years younger!!!!!
Can't believe how many miles you are travelling in such a short space of time.
Good Luck every day.

I've got Melanie here (as in Melanie and Renato, Larry's daughter you met at the party) to type this message as it would take me 10 years if i did it myself!!! photos look fantastic and your obviously having a wonderful time. Life is much the same in pangbourne. the usual round of drunken parties which im sure you're missing! business at burghfield is going really well and larry's really enjoying only having to work 4 nights a week. we're still gyming it regularly but seem to have come to a standstill with the weight loss... so next we're going to try going t-total... drastic action is needed!!!
We had a wonderful holiday in Goa of which one week we spent with debs and andrew which was great fun. Even tahnee enjoyed herself. Missing you guys loads and really looking foward to catching up when you get back. One of our famous Sunday lunches will be called for. Let us know when you're back and we'll order the beast!
Larry sends lots of love to you both and i forgot eggs benedict ended in a very unusual way. Larry and the full monty will tell all when you're home!!!!
will send another another message next time Mel's here!!!
Hi guys, mel here. Make sure you do the nevis bungey jump.....it was the most terrifying, sickening, heart pumping experience I've ever had... but a memorable experience at that!!! take care, Larry , Sue, Tahnee, Mel xxx

Dear Ren,
Had a good party at your house last weak, found your stash of fine wines and enjoyed them all. The tin of foe grass in your cupboard was great on toast in the morninig. Thanks for the box of cups, Alan gave us all a box on leaving. Sorry about the bed but hay when you got to go you got to go. Alan is runing a really good guest house with just 2 bunk beds to each room as aposed to 6 in that room we shared in Tialand. The one were Martina got yellow fever or was that just some cheep tanning lotion. Got go.
Love Paul
P.S Have you still got the streaks, how old are you.

Enjoy your trip and don't forget to pop into my office to get a nice warm German beer ( you will NEVER get a warm beer in Germany ;o)
Stay tuned! A la prossima! Frank (...we are missing U hardly)
