Hi there Hi there Carrie, I have just been catching up on your trip. It looks as though you are getting to travel around and see quite a bit whilst in NZ. The scenery photos are fantastic. I enjoy reading about your travels.
See you soon!!!
Love sue x
trees Hi Carrie What truly amazing trees. Nice to see something that we havn't got in Wales. Has Alex recovered from his shock. Has he bought himself a new hat? Magsid fine. She had Sunday with Sophie as we went away for Sat and Sun. She seemed happy to be back with us last night (sun)
I've got another cold so very fed up. Too much work to do at home and at work. I will try and visit your parents this week. to say ta my birthday present. Must go Luv Lynda
Hi Carrie Just got round to looking at the blog for the first time this evening. It's really good and great that you are all having such a great time. Unfortunately I've just spent 45 minutes reading every entry and watching every video when I should have been planning - whoops how easily I become distracted. Hope you have enjoyed the week away, Love Jan.
Wow!!! Hi Carrie, just thought I'd catch up on all your adventures. You are so lucky, it looks amazing! ....You deserve it though!.......for putting up with me last year! xx
Do the New Zealanders celebrate Guy Faulks night? We went to a really great one organised by Nina's children (twenty somethings) Ollie lit the bonfire by dousing it in petrol and then firing a rocket into it, it was amazing. My birthday rockets from last were year were still fine and the food was too nice, too much ,and too fattening. Never mind good job they don't weigh air passengers. Have a lovely week in the north, will e mail next week. Lynda
Latin Names well just watch this space! You never know, what is about to appear on a day to day basis. I am learning quite a lot from my cousin, Robyn who mixes rhododendrons with azaleas!! ha ha
Where? Come on Carrie. Where is all the in depth factual reporting full of latin names and incredible species? I cant cut and paste this into the ITF newsletter. Next committee meeting on Tuesday - be there (or be square). Jay.
tarzanz Well the tarzans are all still in England (and maybe Wales) and are getting ready for some tree planting - what else will Tarzan swing from? So if you wanna hastily return its the 24th at Market Drayton. See you there?
Hi this is easier than texting and cheaper apparently I've now found this at work and been assured that it is ok to access the internet sso here goes. We all watched the high jump which was hilarious watch out everyone at the olympics ten out of ten for style. The cottage and garden look really gorgeous and the coast. I'm looking forward to March. Must go got a student to see to. Luv Lynda
Pohutakawa? I think its a Phutakawa the New Zealand cristmas tree?

great Hi Carrie, pleased you arrived safely - how strange to have a chilli southerly wind! gorgeous autumn weather here - but not for long.
Whats the food like? suppose they still eat gubs there in them far off countries?? luv I x
There or their Mummy! I am shocked! 'Their' estate, not 'there' estate. But you had a very long journey so you are forgiven. Lucky about the back machine, than could have been disasterous!!
