Hello Everyone, How are you all? Right, I know you are all busy people, well apart from Banj and Cerri (if you don’t know them, you will next blog) but it would be GREAT for us if you would let us know what’s happening in your world. Even if you have nothing to say, just say hi. I’m not sure if anyone apart from our families are reading this anymore and we tell them everything on the phone ... Read Full Entry

Brilliant people!!
Hey Amanda, the funniest thing happened we were walking down the street in Perth and this guy came out of a bar and pointed at me and said "You worked at Yallingup Maze"!!! Random! We chatted with him and he said how brilliant he thought the maze was, he runs a bar/restaurant in Perth. We have both fashioned our t-shirts a few times - still promoting where ever we go!! We had so much fun with you guys. I didn't make it back to England, the flights were crazy prices and the insurance could not confirm I would be covered. We went to Temple and remembered him in our own way which was lovely. Hope it is all going well for you all. Love to all Kate and Matt xxx

Hellooooooo!
Hiya Guys! I read your blog whilst at work so it quite often takes me an hour to get through it depending on the number of interruptions!! Glad you're still having a fab time, hope you don't find the colder weather in NZ too much of a shock!! Sam's ankle is healing, 2 more week's in plaster and we're getting stuck into the wedding plans which is keeping us busy!! Keep the blogs coming and have fun!! Love Vics xxx

Massage
£3 for a massage!!! That is awesome, I could fly out for a month get my back fixed, have a holiday and enjoy the sun for the same price it costs to be man handled in England! So glad you are having such a fantastic time, enjoy NZ and I hope caravan club is as good as Jay promised. Looking forward to the next instalment Xx

I Love my ....
Tommo!! You would have been in heaven with the massage yes Tom, we also saw something and if we were coming straight home we would have bought it for you, but couldn't risk all the questions at security at all the airports!! It's a bit rude to write on here so we'll private message it!! Take care xx

Hey Beau, thanks for the message! I think we'd need to cut down a whole forest to print this out!!!

Hey Blog Fan!
Hey Elisa, thanks for being a blog fan!! Your messages always make us smile! Yeah crazy stuff about Shapelle, I met this one guy in Bali who was Australian and he seemed to think she was guilty, I know no-one can say 100% except her, but I go with innocent and feel for her so much and it made me really sad to hear someone say this. We were tempted to go and see her, but its scary stuff and you never know what could happen so we didn't. Anyway take care you and keep us updated with how things are going with you and the current project! lots of love xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Keep writting!
Hiya, keep up the bloggs! It's a welcome escape for me and takes me back to my days of adventure! I love reading about your shananigans and offered a little bit of sunshine these dark winter months, I am even considering round 2 myself! Take care Kate's EDF friend, Craig

Another very amusing account of your Bali experience, i remember trying to barter there and it wasnt easy, we ended up with a huge amount of tee shirts that we didnt want, but Ben and Zoe went off and bought me a beautiful Balanese mask, not bad at 11 and 8 years old. Andy doesnt have good memories, (he wasnt very well), anyway it sounds as if you had a good time, we hope that you all have a great time in New Zealand, looking forward to the next Blog,keep warm xx

I'm reading
Hello, I am avidly reading, this one is my fav! Hilarious!! We have had some Scorchio weather the last few days, so has been lovely, Ryan and I went to Windsor for the weekend, it was great fun and was nice to spend more than 5 mins together (we are both sooooo busy at work!) Cherish your time together guys, it is very precious. Ryan is out at a rehearsal for a play he is in, in August, so will get him to mail soon. xxxx p.s. we had our choir concert last week, I will forward you the youtube link, although there isnt one of either mine or Ryan's solo's! (I know, who knew he could sing!!)

Hi, great blog. Just want to say that I also read the book Hotel Kerobokan about the Bali Jail, and found it a fascinating read, and terrifying to think that you can end up in that place for years for one ecstasy pill. anyone thinking of travelling to bali, would no doubt find it compelling reading. also there is a great website, www.hotelkerobokan.com
