Hi ya Hannah,

Thanks for all the email messages, have been keeping track of your progress so far, keep em coming. Been pretty busy (head stuck up my own arse) recently as we are having a loft extension built at the same time as I am rewiring the first floor and rearranging the bathroom. Also, we are expecting a new baby in early October, no definites but they say its 70% a girl so hence all the work must be finised before Kiran finishes work. Wont say too much here as I have several chapters in draft email to send plus a 30th birthday card (would like to deliver in person over a beer/meal on your return??!!

Take care, have fun,

Adam, Kiran, Joe and Bump II

Thanks for the messages everyone. Sorry if the pictures are making you turn green, but you did ask to see them.... :-) I'm in not so sunny NZ now so maybe the next lot will have snow?

Hello

Kathy has been forwarding your emails to me so I've been keeping up with the travels. Sounds a whole lot more interesting than my very tedious work experience right now so I have just escaped into your web site for a mo'. I'm not sure whether it makes me feel better or worse!

ARRRggghh! Derby are going to be relegated to the second division unless a minor miracle happens! Surely there is some law against Derby being in a lower division than Crystal Palace?

hey hannah. looks like you havin a wicked time. all the photos look real good. we've just arrived in new zealand a few days ago and are going to start making our way to dunedin and queenstown tomorrow. no one told me it was going to be this bloody cold in new zealand either. there was me thinking it would be the same as oz. we only got another 4 weeks left here and then a week in thailand and then its back to sunny england unfortunately. it all goes so quick. anyway. have fun. paul

Crystal Palace aren't faking it Mr Urmston! the cheek! :-)
Rotating the photos Mum will probably involve you having to save them to your computer then rotating them in whatever photo editing software Dad has for his pics -sorry!
No pics of Stanley park yet as they are still on my camera and not on a cd. I'll try and upload some this week if I have any energy left after diving! No pics of that either - dry suits are not flattering! :-)

Seen the photos AT LAST. Doesn't a waterfall look strange upside down !( Can someone tell me how to rotate them ?) This trip all looks real now . Can't wait for the Whistler pictures . Why no Stanley Park totem poles yet ? Don't miss the Maritime Museum-all about immigration and the area as it was. Really really fascinating. Fantastic trees.

If Crystal Palace can fake being in the top half of the first division, you can a few photos :-P

Fake? Pa! I'll have you know that I have enough trouble operating a digital camera without trying to do anything fancy to the pics once they've finally made it onto a cd! :-)

I agree with Roger, Hannah has to be faking these pics.

Are you hiding in some secret studio, somewhere on the penines?

Apologies for the upsdide down photos everyone, but internet cafes don't always have editing software and I'm stuck with what I can get.... :-) Anyway it's far more fun having to look at them sideways!

Hello Hannah.. Wicked Pics... You must be somwhere on the south pole judging by the photo angles (I thought we had gravity hehehe!) Everything seems upside down at your end hehehe, Anyways been saving pics and rotating them so don't worry too much!

I envy u girl!! U are so not missing a thing from where I am, same ol' same ol... Let's definetly meet up for the summer, my bags are already packed .... You still owe me that drink of ours.

Soooo jealous of you being in Seattle, one of my fave places. Glad you're having a good time, keep in touch.

Will charge you for the neck brace I now need after viewing the photos when you get back (top tip, don't try and view photos after having a few beers)

Em xxxxx
