Dear Ant Just hoping you have survived the Carretera! We are thoroughly enjoying your narrative and photographs and feel we are there with you. What a tremendous experience. Spoke with Daphne yesterday. She is following your blog religiously. We are not having the weather we expected but then it seems to be crazy everywhere. Looking forward to the next episode. Lots of Love

All the best from Thailand!
Hi guys, Great fun to read and see all the blogs and photos... you're obviously having an amazing time! I'm also enjoying life here in Thailand - I am now in Chiang Mai and really like this great city. I'm moving into an apartment tomorrow which is short-term until I find a job but nice and also cheap! Then the job-hunting starts and I'll be whizzing around on my bike giving my CV to all the local schools and see what I can turn up... fingers crossed! Anyway, just a brief one from me... keep having a wonderful time and speak soon! From Thailand with Love... Stu x

New Zealand
Dear Ant, Have just read your blog on NZ which brought back happy memories of the visits Reg and I have made. You have given us some wonderful photographs and narrative. Reg was amused to read your comment that NZ is like England was in the 1950's. He lived there for nearly two years in the 1950's and said he thought then that NZ was about 50 years behind England. And so it goes on ..... As soon as I received your first message I forwarded it to Daphne. I don't see any messages from her so will remind her to log in. Like us, I am sure she will find your blog fascinating. Take good care. Love Eileen

Anthony, thank you for this report that I read in La Tour where the fence you built is still there intact and solid; your travelblog made me remember the 3 fantastic days I spent with Robert visiting Northen Island before the Icom meeting in Auckland some years ago. Sure I will go back there with Corinne one of these days... Regarding your terrible question: what a French NZ would look like? I can only say that I have the feeling that the English did much better than the French with their colonies... see the mess in La Guadeloupe...or in Nouvelle Calédonie... Enjoy the rest of your trip and see you soon. Best. Olivier

Hi Darling have trouble with my PC sending emails so doing this way. Exhausted from Matt trip,emotionaly and physicaly but would not have missed for the world. Saw Evelyn today bit of a Mum re run, house, blue Jazz, all the same stuff even moaned the same...scarry. She used to look after Mum take her to school and a load more, then all the same pictues as Mums came out plus a few more, including Bobo age six and twenty, Mum about 15, Our great grandmother when young and when she was about 70, that will scare and frighten you! I photographed them and when my PC works will send them. Did you know Nannas surname was Stone. New Zealand feels 1950's England and slightly colonial here outsde Wellington. Prince William is here to so sure you will see photos of weather and Wellington, Judith lives about 20 miles out in the hills done nothing but rain hard blow at 40 miles an hour and when it stops goes into thick fog, bit like an English Summer Hope you saw lasted repo went INTO Burma Love ANT XXXXXX
