Lashams Hi, Hope you got back to Aussie safely and had a good time at the caves. It was really sad to see the wicked camper disappear up the drive - we really enjoyed your visit and Sam isn't looking too bad after the nose job!! We have checked out more wineries this weekend with some friends and drove down to Waimarama beach - it is beautiful and sounds very similar to Ocean Beach. James and Rog took an Optomist out on Pandora Pond and really enjoyed it. Have a fab time in Thailand and please e-mail us soon as you can to let us know how you got on. Lots of Love Rog, Julie, James and Samxx

Mum Pickess Dear Simon and Suzanne, Hope all the travels go well on your journey back to Australia. Not sure if you will get a chance to email or check emails. Simon I tried to get your heating on today but nothing happened I will contact Maureen and see if Andrew knows how it goes. I have had a bad week not felt well for most of it but hopefully it will soon go (a tummy upset). Thanks for your postcard - Mummy and Daddy indeed!! Hope you enjoy Thailand and your 30th birthday!! I will email the day before but could not send you anything as I don't know where you will be staying. Have a great time. I won't be able to text you as your phone won't work in Thailand will it? Hope Suzanne is ok. She won't enjoy our weather when she returns. Take care. Love Mum and Dad

Mum Pickess Dear Simon and Suzanne, Hope you have enjoyed your week in New Zealand and that by now you have joined up with Julie and family. Have a great time with them and hope the weather improves! Simon you had one problem with TV licence they say you haven't paid but I told them you had written. Yes was their reply but they had to speak to you (the licence holder) so when you get back you should make that a priority! All was ok when I called on Wed. but I will go again tomorrow. Grandad has completed the garden. The neighbour asked him what he was going to plant! He said 'I will leave that to the governor' meaning you!!! Isn't he great for 96!!! My back is improving and I am now swimming a bit. School is hectic! take care. Love to you both Mum and Dad

Julie, Rog & the boys Hi guys, Sounds like I need to get the fake tan ready for when we see you on Saturday. Can't believe Auckland is so wet and miserable - Hawkes Bay has been really sunny the last couple of days. We are really looking forward to seeing you in Rotorua. Have looked at our NZ book and think it would be best to get accommodation near Whakarewarewa Thermal Park and Agrodome if that fits with you? Whaka.... has Maori cultural experiences and geysers etc and Agrodome has the orbs. Let me know what you think. Hope weather is good in Bay of Islands. Lots of Love Lasham Clan xxxx

Suzanne and Simon Hi everyone, just a quick message to say that we are now in New Zealand. Back to wearing jeans and jumpers again as it is wet and miserable at the moment. A bit of a problem as we only packed for hot weather and have one jumper each. Our Ozy mobile doesnt work here so we are not able to text anyone but if you want to contact us just email. We will try to get the bar lifted from the phone so we can use it in other countries. Take care everyone love Suzanne and Simon XXX

Kate Hello Campers- Sorry been a while since posting a message. Sound amazing the whole trip- got a feeling we will have plenty of friday night converstions at the pub for years to come! Can't wait. Pulling my life back together this week, was supposed to be going away with you know who, so Lucy and I are now going clothes shopping in London Thursday then off to Peterborough to see Sara Friday for 48 hours of drinking and no doubt persuing of sexy singles! Can't believe you have been away so long- Grundisburgh is still sleepy as ever- bit flooded at the moment weather is cold and very rainy- my advise stay where it is hot. Catch up soon huns take care- Justin/Lauren- sounds like your having fun too- love to you guys aswell. Off now to jump in some puddles Loves Kate xxxXxxXxx

What a week it's been...got told by a year 11 boy that he'll smash my face in, told him i'd like to see him try!!Was called a t*** a few times by another year 11 boy and on wednesday & thursday has Ofsted in, and it's not looking too good!! Oh fun in the life at the academy!! Just think Suz, you've got all this to look forward to!! Atleast I can relax for a week now.

Suzanne and Simon Hi guys, glad to hear everyone is ok at home. We are still having great fun here in Oz although it is raining today. We are in Byron Bay at the moment and are heading to Sydney on Tuesday. Only one week left then we are off to New Zealand. We have a camper booked so it should be fun. During the last few weeks we have been chilling out on beaches along the coast. We had a surf lesson and both managed to stand up although not very gracefully. Its great to hear from you all with the latest news. #Hope the twins sleep a bit more soon so Toby can get a better nights sleep. #Can't believe you got let off Deano, very jammy. #Thanks Grandad for finishing my garden, when are you planting the grass?? #Soon be half term Naomi so you can chill for a change. # Have you learned to cook yet Ash?? Take care guys love S and S XXX
