Wow, just been reading up on your amazing trip, and very well written and entertaining blog! Hope you both continue to have much fun, and shall see you on your return to Blighty, no doubt I shall still be here! xx

Say hi to the Meter Maids on the Gold Coast on behalf of Michael, his cunning plan was to purposely get parking tickets when we were there! xx Naughty man! xx

Be warned! Keep away from Fitness Attitude as Michael will cajole you into doing hard labour.

Wish we were there.

Love to the four of you.

Ireland - England - 14/13 - yihaa!!!! Up Ireland - the best won! Pretty uneventful game to be honest, commentator referred to it at one point as more like a game at Wimbledon! Watched it in Teddington with good company - Father Reg! xxx

Missing you guys already ... feel very lucky to have shared a few days with you. Haven't laughed so much in ages. Love you loads. x

Everton 2-0 West Brom

Excitied to have you here tomorrow!

Just so you know what to expect weather- wise here, the huidity has dropped and we have glorious days of around 28C coming up.

Sitting outside sipping iced Southern Comfort and there's not a cloud in the sky!

Safe travels, and we'll see you tomorrow!

Well it's been a while and great to see that you've made it to Rotarua - brings back fond memories of cricketing days when we toured NZ for women's world cup and travelled north and south island back in 2000. Fab spot and would love to be in your shoes right now. Life in the financial sector is just awful - www.rte.ie will give you all the gorey details: Anglo was raided earlier this week by the Office of Director of Corporate Enforcement as various scandals of fraud and criminal law are alledged....22 large portions of came into the building and took all sorts of documentation - anyway, HR dept absolutely persil white mate! Looking forward to more 6nations rugby this weekend - Ireland v Engerlund is always a fave! Plenty of activity in footie Champs and Premier league - sorry Flattie, but Utd looking good love! England looking good on day 1 of 4th test leading 301-3. Have applied for Lords ballot and hope I can secure some Ashes tickets; fingers x'd. Anyway, sounds like you're having a top time and away from all the grim news. Enjoy the adventures and mind the sheep! Much love x

Large update will be posted before I go to bed today....
