Still here!
I can't believe you are only now just going! Wow! You must have done SO much in your time here and seen far more than I have in the two years I've been here (but then I have been otherwise occupied!) Yes, NZ certainly captures your heart. Hope Aussie is just as special for you. Take care and hope to hear from you again (maybe see you again??!!) soon.

Wow, looks fabulous!
Wow, I can't believe how beautiful it is! My next big project in life is now to visit Australia and New Zealand. I'm sure Werner will also be able to recognize every single mountain that featured in LOTR... Just want to add that I know what you mean with the UK being a nanny state. Every time I got back from travelling it would take me a few days to get used to being told what way to look when waiting to cross a road, to watch out when coming to the end of a travellator, to mind the closing doors of the elevator... :-) Looking forward to seeing you soon!

enjoying your blogs
Hi Elanor, I realise you have fallen totally in love with N.Z. I think I would too. The cicadas sound absolutely revolting. I would have screamed too. At least in France they don't jump on you but just add a pleasant singing sound to a warm night. You must be so careful about your back. Carrying a back pack isn't a good idea. Did you have an Xray to discover that you had a slipped disc? I hope your trip to Oz will also be amazing and enjoyable. You are so courageous to be travelling alone across the globe. Anna is going off to Thailand and vietnam soon and I'm unnerved to say the least, but I think if you say prayers for someone's safety, then I guess you just have to trust God will answer the prayers and so I must stop worrying. Anna is coming down on Sunday for a fortnight as she will be working for Adam in Frome. I'm really excited about it. We have had exceptionally mild weather and all the buds are coming out early. Spring seems to have arrived. I'll say goodbye and God bless. Love you, keep safe, Julia X X X

sheep farmers
I wouldnt have had a single thought about sheep farmers and your slipped disc,, some people think such outlandish things. thank you for putting us all right though ,lets hope thats the end of all sheep farmer comments, however I must just mention that during sheep shearing season we do actually get some pretty dishy ones here in Wales!! and I have actually seen some, so lets not have any doubt that there are sheep shearers and sheep farmers some dishy , some not ., as with sheep, some are more attractive than others, I see a lot so I should know. enough on all to do with sheep. once again the blog is woderful, fab pictures and cool places , am very concerned about your poor back though, do be careful can you put wheels on the back pack or something , I,m sure its not the best thing to cart it about with a slipped disc. love you load sweetheart xxxxxxxxx

Great to hear from you El
Do you think you will get to New Plymouth? Envy you, I am in Rhodes at the moment but I don't think it is as warm as NZ. Take care. BTW I have my own blog, not as detailed or newsy but accessible from www.snoxalls.com also some links to some of you rothe relatives' pages. Remember jandles are called thongs in Oz and iggs are called eggs. Also you use a pin number for ypour credit card, not a pun number.

wow!
Hey Elanor, Sorry haven' emailed, think the travel blog and your email address have confused me! Your pictures look absolutely amazing and so glad you're havikng such a fabulous time. I work with a new Zealander in my office who found your comments about trundlers and jandlers hi,arious! I now remind her on a regular basis what a strange country she comes form! My xmas was cool and groovy, a good 2 week rest. Caught the severe cold that has been going round, 3 weeks in and it's still hanging on a bit. January is pants and would far rather be out in the beautiful landscapes that you're exploring but job is going well so all is generally good. Alec is well, Mum got a new kitten at xmas as we had to put one of the cats down in November. Looking forward to the next installment. Lots of love, Sonya

wow billie, what an amazing time you are having..... your doing so much, and it all looks fantastic to me, absolutly stunning beaches and bella vistas left /right and centre. I think a mountain is a hill that hurts as you go up it (legs that is) . thats my view anyway. Just so you can feel smug, the weather here is awful ... fog, fog fog, heathrow is snarled up with millions of poor people trying to get out! flights cancelled all over. you look as tanned as bean, all that walking . steady on with the diving, sorry you got such a beast for the advanced one, throwing up under water sounds rather special though, not many of us will have done that. thinking of you all over xmas, wish we were there! love you and miss you madly, big hugs , mumsie xxxxxx

to the traveller
Sounds and looks great.... we remember Kelly Tarltons - when you come back, go and see 'Happy Feet' (it's a kid's film), with cool music - it definitely makes you want to adopt a few penguins! Take care - sounds like you're certainly making the most of it. Weather looks fantastic with you. much love, Sarah, Geoff, Joel and Hannah xx

Oh Elanor!
Oh Elanor, how sad you are leaving this side of the globe, but how wonderful the things you have done and the experience you have had. We will be celebrating our little one's first birthday in mid May - can you believe it? - and I know I have DEFINATELY changed with the experience of becoming a mum. I'm sure you have become a much wiser, mature person for your travels, but will still be the same sweet Elanor too! Enjoy your last few days. God bless, Rebecca
