So finally you set off and now your're about to leave Auckland. Shame I didn't know your itin cos lots of my friends live in Aukers and one of them knows exactly where the free red bull drinks are cos he's chief finance cheese there. Anyway, good to see grandpa's come good on the camera! Let me know your plans and when travelling to Oz.

Hi Grandpa

Thanks for the offer of a new camera. It does work but some of the buttons ie the flash and the timer dont work (but they were already set up as auto anyway so its not too much of a prob) also i cant delete the pics off the camera but can do that on a computer, so again not much of a prob. I can probably persevere for now but if it gets annoying I will let you know!!

Thanks again, hope you had a good day at Stokesay I love it there. Keep reading the blog and leaving messages...its nice to hear from you.

love Bec

I have spoken to your Mum, & she reminds me that you are probably insured for this. If so, it is likely to take some time to get compensation. The best idea may be to send you some money ( I have your details ), & you can pay me whatever you get on insurance,not exceeding what I send you. What do you think ? Luv GP

Ah Grandpa - bless him!

Aargh, that's annoying about the phone and camera - the lengths you'll go to so you don't have to put any pictures up!

I've added this blog to Google reader so I can keep up to date with your antipodean antics ;-) Keep having fun...

It's v. important u have a camara !! If I can get money into your a/c I will give u a Birthday pressie in advance !! I will ask Kt to give me details. Keep smiling . We are going with friends to Stokesay Castle today. I have to go every week to Stybank to feed the birds. We have kept an amazingly varied bird population this year. M sends her love, and so do I - GP.
