Hi everyone! Thanks for the comments and messages - sorry to hear Burnley are doing so badly, but I doubt many other people care about that. Yes I agree Roy needs his hair cutting, but I think he's quite attached to the 'wind-through-my-glorious-locks' look. And Jill, hope you're having a lovely time in Grenada - we're still allowed to be jealous! Since leaving Dunedin we stopped along the east coast to see the Moeraki boulders - massive limestone rocks that ar...
