Wow - Jon, you really did star in No country for old men! That's amazing!
Hope you kept him indoors in the evening Harry...with trannies around and Jon with his hairbands...could've been embarrasing eh?!
Have an awesome time taking it easy in Fiji dudes. Make the most of the quiet before you're back and being jumped on from all directions. Will be great to have you back!
Enjoy the rest of your time away, plenty more pics needed, especially of 'cloudbreak' if you get there. And we want to see Jon at Muscle beach in California too - Alice band and speedos!! Ha ha.
God bless!
Hoorah! I'm finally allowed to send you a message again! That was weird. WIll and I have just been reading about your antics in NZ. William was very excited to see picturs of you Jon, but wanted to know why ou weren't wearing a top when you were standing next to the penguin and also articularly liked the cytoplasm look. so I guess that that's 1 for 1 against (matt)
We're all looking forward to seeing you guys soon. I actually feel pretty sad that it's all coming to an end for you, although I'm sure that you'll go off again sometime. Dave wants to know when you're going to get a proper job! and he says that you don'e need to comment, at least West Ham are consistent!!!!
Love to you both. xxx William wants to write a quick message.
hlkfdhcfjffcckkedkdkddkdekjifjghhjjhbdjjhfjfks !!!!!! Good luck decifering that!!
Goodbye to NZ Glad you guys managed to find some hot weather! Sounds like you had a really good time in NZ. Harry, I've seen that photo of you and Jon wearing cytoplasm and suggest you don't let him wear that head gear again..doesn't suit!!..and what's he smoking in Parnell?!
We're having bit of a stormy time over here at the mo..80mph winds, flooding, storm damage, etc...nice!
Take care,
M,V,S and F xxxx
haha That scream actually sounded like pure fear! Bet it was such a rush though. Good to see the tan is finally coming along! Oh yeah jon, your neighbours look-a-like Dillan has now been replaced by Riley. Uncanny. Anyway some of those pictures look amazing. Hope you guys continue to have an amazing time. See you soon. x
So you did it bro - bungee!! Awesome although the countdown on the pics was a bit of an anticlimax...ready...steady...and on to the next visit! What happened Harry? Think you were wise not to the jump however, a little scary, the bridge at Queens gardens in Nelson looked more like my cup of tea!
Had a good meal out with the fam last w/e - missed you though Jon! Looking forward to having you guys back to 'annoy' us all!
BIG game Sunday - CUP FINAL - lets hope for some more pics of Jon jumping for joy when he here's this result!! COYS
Take it easy guys. God Bless, Andy. xx
extremely..mad! Glad you're both enjoying yourselves on South Island...try and last the remaining 7 weeks without too many injries..I've heard all about those jet boat rides. Did you know that when the boat pilots have finished they get given a sedative and have their straight jackets replaced!!..know what I'm saying! and Jon, as for bungy jumping..what can I say!
We've been enjoying some half decent weather over here which makes a nice change. Nikki and James are both here this weekend which is cool. Going out with them all tonight for a bite to eat.
Take care dudes!
Matt, Victoria, Sam and Finley x
So have you jumped yet?? Hey peeps how are you getting on?? Still waiting to see the pics of you throwing yourselves out of an aeroplane! Weather looks nice excpet for two days it's been really foggy and cold here! Not sure if I tyold you or not (sorry if I have!) but I got a place at uni for a PGCE! What lovley things have you been doing in Queenstown? Hope your still getting on ok? is it strangely easy? Think you both look great and can see the colour in your cheeks. Hope to hear from you soon
Kat (and of course Ben) xxxx
Wow - that's where Al and Naomi are living now? Know they were moving into a bigger place but that's ridiculous!
Matt's right - Jenny's not changed at all - although it's ages since we last saw her.
So what's the news on this extreme sport activities? Waiting to hear about this sky diving...come on...no backing out now!
Lots of sun here at the moment - spent most of yesterday reading on the Hoe with the 'Plymoids' blasted their beats out of their saxos and novas - gorgeous day, rubbish music!
Looking forward to hearing more dudes - don;t forget to tune in to the cup final - not long now!!! And let's hope the rugby and cricket boys can improve a little huh! Have words next time you see them!
Take it easy, lots of love. Andy xx
At last!!! ..I've managed to see your blog!..I have alot of reading to do to catch up. You're both looking very well although I think we need to get Jon back in the gym. Looks like you are having a better time with the weather. Not alot of news from us at the mo..apart from the boys and me being poorly sick with some kind of head ache/snot producing bug! Nice to see a photo of Jenny..haven't seen her for years..she doesn't look any different!
Take care both of you.M,V,S and F x
Jon handing out posing pics? Hey guys - hope you're both well - the pictures are great! specially love the one of Harry and the England cricket boys! Sidebottom been to the Jon and Jim school of posing for photgraphs?
Hope you guys have fun at Jenny's - look forward to hearing more - and seeing those sky diving pics, no getting out of it now!
Well i suppose i should start by saying HAPPY NEW YEAR! Sorry we haven't spoken to you in ages but we've had trouble with the computer. Thank you very much fr the christmas presents,Joe loves his boomerang and mum won't let him anywhere near the house with it so no broken windows, yet! Thank you so much for my kangaroo! I can't believe you might be going sky diving! That sounds amazing!
We missed you on christmas day, we had a good time but it wasn't the same, we hope you had a good christmas. I've just finished my mocks and i got an A* in my art which is where i was following your travels.
We hope you are well
Lots of love

Hey dudes - who'd have believed it - you travel to the other side of the world, to a place that's in the middle of it's summer and you end up playing cards indoors whilst it pours down outside...kinda sounds like a July day here!
In fact it is raining as I write this - mind you it's pretty chilly too with no obvious signs of brightening up! I hope it does before this evening as some of the lads will probably decide to give footy a miss - don't like getting wet you see - mentioning no names of course.
Speaking of getting wet - Pops got a soaking on his birthday. A few of the gang went up to the Hoe yesterday after lunch to watch the waves. Everyone getting close enough to experience the power of the water as it hit the shore, but good ol' Pops went a little too close, and of course with age your reaction times slow and sure enough with the next wave exploding against the rocks Pops was left dripping from head to toe! Awesome!
Wel, despite the rain it looks like you guys are having fun from the pictures you posted. Some corkers...especially Jon finally getting caught out at cards - the pic says it all - always new he must've been cheating all the time at poker! My other favourite is the actual look of distress on Jon's face as he tries to work out how the cruise liner did in fact get past the bridge!!
Look forward to seeing plenty more snaps from NZ dudes. Hope you guys manage to hook up with the Dryes - say 'hi' to them all for me. And Jon, see if you can sneak a Spurs poster up somewhere in the house - that's your challenge bro!
Take it easy guys and God Bless. Will keep you up to date with important results in the footy (Arsenal tonight and Man Utd in the FA cup on Sunday), loads happening in the Heineken cup too - Saracens seeded top for the quarters - amazing!
Catch you later. Lots of love,
Andy.

Happy Christmas Hello you two and Happy Christmas! Glad you're having such a cool time. Sounds amazing - slightly more exciting than the cold weather we've got here and the colds and sore throats that seem to go with it.
We're all well. The children are very excited about Christmas! Emily has been counting the days down for about two weeks and William pretty much knows all the words to Slade's So here it is Merry Christmas song!! I know it's nothing to boast about. Probably my fault for having a Christmas CD in the car!
We hope you have a good day, even though it doesn't feel to Christmassy! We'll all be thinking of you.
Jon I also will be purchasing your presents in the sales, so you'll do extra well for when you come back! I'll get you a couple more hairbands or something!!!!
Take care both of you,
Happy Christmas
Love V, D, E and W xxxxxx

Byron Bay Make sure you get the bus to the place where you can dance on the tables! I think its called cheeky monkeys. You can walk but its fun to go to the big bar by the beach and then get the bus!
G'day Surely visiting Argyle street whilst your there...haha!!! Joining you on the travelling front this week off to New York...ideal!! Hope your having a good one.
Max Bygraves Had lunch with Nanny Duncan today, she is very well, when we told her you were now in Australia, she asked if you could find out if Max Bygraves is still there !! xx Love all the photos
Hello! Hi - Good to see some photos. I sent Nanny some flowers from us for her birthday, she says thanks. Have you investigated trips for Fraser Island yet? I'm pretty sure this is the one I did http://www.ozhorizons.com.au/qld/fc/kingfisher/3day.htm
