| 13th November 2008 jo | I don't believe it................................. - From: Homeward Bound Where has that year gone? Despite the doom and gloom and bad weather here the months have flown by and its been great to read and see your udates from the far flung corners of the globe. What are we going to do without our little bits of sunshine? As you would expect, nothing has changed here! Looking forward to seeing you guys when you are back - Daren, Happy Birthday for next week. Jxx |
| 2nd September 2008 kevster | A porridge made from male chickens you say..... - From: 20,000 Leagues (18 metres) Under the Sea ... Rooster porridge? Bantam porridge? Cockerel porridge? *scratches head* ... *gives up* |
| 18th August 2008 Stuart E | Shrek - From: Wet 'n' Wild Forgot to add that the caption should have read "Where's Daren" |
| 18th August 2008 Stuart E | Ropes - From: Wet 'n' Wild Mr Smith, I note with interest that your white water rafting was less eventful than the trip we shared at Vic Falls. Must admit that I'm glad to hear that there were no idiots on this trip trying to strangle you with the saftey rope whilst you tried desperately to get back into the raft - oh well maybe next time. Look after yourself and give Mrs Bear a hug from me. Stuart |
| 14th July 2008 EazyAz | Dunya! Dunya! - From: Mission half accomplished News!!!, Tennis is over - England (Scotland) out, Football - England not in it!!........I am sure you did not want to know about this.. The weather not as good as where you are by the looks of things. Half the Journey? seems like a life time for us. Lot of dead badgers in Kingswood. |
| 8th July 2008 Kevster | Update right back atcha... - From: Mission half accomplished ... 'cos I know you'll be gagging for news from back home. *scratches head* Hmmmmmmmmm. There must be something...... *stares out of window* Well; if I was desperate, I could tell you I'm just about the only person left in South London that hasn't been stabbed so far this year, and tomorrow's Wednesday Night Golf Club has been postponed because of a Severe Weather Warning and the imminent prospect of high winds and 2 inches of rain in the locality. But I can't be that desperate - surely there's something I can tell to rival your adventures..... I did see a dead something-or-other by the side of the M2 this morning that looked suspiciously like a Badger - there, how exciting's that? |
| 8th July 2008 Weasel | Life - From: Mission half accomplished Mr & Mrs Bear - Now I know that you've been travelling for a while, however sitting on Yorkie's Knob and having a 20 minute dive is just too much information, next you'll be telling us that you're relaxing on Bruce's Deck. Just so you know it looks like our summer has come and gone already - nothing new there then. Look after yourselves and keep the blogs coming. |
| 8th July 2008 tom Bashaw | Change in appearance - From: Mission half accomplished Aloha from Hawaii D & T...looks as though you folks have lost a bit of weight since you left Fiji but also having a bang up time.. Keep having fun..just back fm Fj for a month stay...things are well and the same..hold tight to the baggage...Carrie says hullo..cheers to ya. T & C |
| 12th June 2008 Jo | A celebrity writer in the making, me thinks..... - From: Crocodile Rock Mr D, when the world of travel, blues skys, beaches, fab scenery, strange animals and somewhat stranger people becomes the norm, I'm sure you can write a book! You have a me smiling from ear to ear everytime I read your updates (and it feels like I'm not missing TT tooooooo much! Take care Jo xx P.S - TT, surely you should be having apple or cranberry sauce with that magic lasagne? or maybe just push the boat out with an egg!!! |
| 10th June 2008 Caroline Aitken | just read your last 3 months worth!! - From: Crocodile Rock Hi you 2, spoke to someone in Brisbane this morning so thought I may as well really kill my day and catch up with your blogs - so many memories - it is 25 deg in Hove today so can't grumble and the seagulls are in full flow while I do my working from home day!! - just a thought if you are heading down the coast after cairns and need somewhere to stay en route, just off Fraser Island near Tin Can Bay there is a lovely B&B run by John & Jennie (worth it for their cooking which is abs fab, as is the choice of wine and his own mix of port oh and John is a true Ozzie character) called Mia Mia just a thought but say hello if you do - pale person from UK x |
| 9th June 2008 Kevster | Wotcha - From: Crocodile Rock Hello D2 & Bear. Just a quick note to let you know that back in the UK we're having our Summer today - and very lovely it is too - some mentalist on the radio this morning was talking about 25 degrees by mid-afternoon. Imagine that. I'm going to leave work early and spend an hour and a half sweltering on the motorway to really make the most of it. Yeah; you think about that whilst you're deep sea fishing and living on the beach for a month. Suckers. |
| 17th May 2008 kevster | Magnificent - From: We're all going on a summer holiday Best blog entry so far - most amusing. "a certain nihilistic beauty in its seemingly everlasting nothingness" - Daren - keep that standard up mate and you could achieve a lifetime ambition when you return and write lyrics for the Manics |
| 28th April 2008 Jane McGhee | Letting Tina near animals.... - From: A Tale of Three Cities Remember never to leave Tina in charge of your pets or small children! |
| 9th April 2008 Robin | No body surfing please - From: A Wwoofing we will go Puzzling world looks absolutely fantastic though. How can a place like Wanaka pop 253 probably, have something we just don't have. Must make up for the lack of Friday quizzes. |
| 12th March 2008 Brian & Rosemary | On your last leg (not figurativly !) - From: The long and winding road You've done all that the South Island offers so far, but wait, there's more !! For instance, Lake Wakatipu (Fokertipu) Queenstown is beautiful at this time of year with the trees at the lake's edge turning yellow with the approaching Autumn, the snow capped mountains as a backdrop. You can walk up Queenstown Hill before breakfast as the sun is rising, for a better view. If you would like a challenge, climb up Ben Lomand for an even better view. A three hour trip, each way. Love to you both, take care. Brian and Rosemary. |
| 10th March 2008 Amy | - From: The long and winding road Looks like you guys are having an amazing time! You are both so brown. So jealous sitting in the office and all you can hear is howling winds!! Amy x |
| 10th March 2008 Neil | New Zealand - From: The long and winding road Guys, the place sounds amazing and the photo's you've taken back this up 100%. By the way you mispelt Marlboro ! |
| 7th March 2008 Nicky | Beautiful photos- thank you for sharing them - From: The long and winding road Hi there. Of all the photos in your blogs, these are my favourites - lovely, lovely. All ok here. Want some aniseed balls sending your way? No? Alright then, I'll eat your share! Glad it's going so brilliantly. Take care. Nicky |
| 7th March 2008 Lara | Wow! - From: The long and winding road Hi guys, Just read your blog. Sounds as if New Zealand is beautiful and the pictures are testament to that. Tina you are so brown I am really scared about meeting up with you in Melbourne as I look so pale!!! Anyway just wanted to say hi and will email again next week. No baby news from Rach yet she is due 2 weeks today. Love La's x |
| 14th February 2008 Brian & Rosemarybeja | Congrat's on your intrepid journey. - From: I don't like cricket Great to see you did the Tongariro Crossing and experienced the changeable NZ weather. When you tackle Mt. Cook in the South Island suggest you take the right equipment and preferably have a qualified guide, we loose quite a few Tourists each year on Mt Cook. Great pic's, keep them comiing. Love from your Antipodean Uncle and Aunt. |
| 12th January 2008 Wendie | - From: ....and a happy new year Happy New Year to you both, although I think you both need a wash as you look dirty....it is not a tan...England is great it rains alot. The weather looks fab there - keep the blogs coming. Wendie.xx |
| 10th January 2008 Helen Gray | What a lucky pair! - From: Lost in Transportation Sounds fantastic. I'm getting increasingly jealous every time I read your blog. Think I'll have to persuade Mr Gray that travelling with babies could work. I spend my days up to my elbows in nappies and dribble (although that's not a complaint). Keep having fun and just think of everyone stuck here with the wind and rain. XXX |
| 7th January 2008 Danny T | Happy New Years - From: Lost in Transportation Sounds like you're having a great time. Loved the picture of the packet of fags - good trick to use the spider as perspective. I was in Denmark for Xmas and New Years Eve, no lost luggage, small childrens clothing or dog pee (alas) but It sounds like we all had a good share of fish and fireworks. |
| 7th January 2008 Lala | Happy New Year! - From: ....and a happy new year T and Daren, Just got back into work after 2 weeks off and got your blogs - Tina how brown are you already!!! The pictures are great and the commentary very well written - sounds like you are having a once in a lifetime experience and are making the most of it! Will email properly when I have more time but in the meantime enjoy. Love to you both La's x |
| 7th January 2008 paul | Finally Arrived - From: Lost in Transportation Well it's good to catch up with Bungle again. |
| 2nd January 2008 Jane McGhee | Blimey, the size of that spider! - From: Cyclonic Irritation Looks like your having a fantastic time, you lucky devils. However, if I had a seen a spider that big I'd be on the next plane back home! Happy travels & New Year. Love Jane |
| 31st December 2007 Robin | Happy 2008 from 2007 - From: ....and a happy new year Thought I'd take the opportunity. Well it clearly wasn't Friday when you got that picture was it? Looks absolutely fantastic, keep those blogs coming. |
| 30th December 2007 Jo B | Merry Xams & a Fab 2008! - From: ....and a happy new year The weather is cold and wet and I cant stand the sight of any more chocolate/turkey/cheese/crisps/nuts/more chocolate and even alcohol! (although I'm sure I'll feel up to some vodka cocktails for NYE, mmmmmmmmm!) Andy is in front of the TV watching yet more football/darts/cricket (sorry D, Man U wont be top for the start of 2008) so I thought I'd just pop online to wish you guys a Happy and Healthy 2008, hope you get to celebrate in style and that 2008 brings you everything you wish for! Jxx |
| 23rd December 2007 Nicky Ferguson | Happy Christmas!! - From: ....and a happy new year Have a fantastic Christmas and New Year. Nicky xx |
| 7th December 2007 Brian and Rosemary | Cyclone Damon - From: (Almost) Paradise Regained Hope you are both still on terra firma as Cycone Damon has just blown thru your way as you are no doubt aware. With luck it will have passed you by with high winds and heavy rain. Let's know your news Daren and Tina, we are thinking of you. Love from Brian and Rosemary. |
| 29th November 2007 Jo Blissett | Smell and "dirty rags"........ - From: Welcome to our Travel-Blog D - just read your comment about the drink preparation - how could that put T off? Sounds just like the kitchen here at work!! Oh how we miss our "fridge monitor" :-) Life here is still same old same old, well what did you expect? Please post more photos soon to keep us smiling Jxx |
| 26th November 2007 Kevin Sullivan | Vuja De .... - From: Welcome to our Travel-Blog *settles into comfy chair - again - cracks open another can of beer, this time with some hot-buttered toast, and waits for the next update* |
| 23rd November 2007 Brian & Rosemary | Where are you?? - From: (Almost) Paradise Regained Hi again, which of the seven in the Yasawa Group are you at present on? I am trying at least to imagine the glories that you behold and like most things now in my golden years I need some prompting. B & R. |
| 22nd November 2007 Mr D and Mrs Bear | Kava & Mozzies - From: (Almost) Paradise Regained Hi Brian Yeah, we had our first Kava ceremony last night (many more to come I'm sure). Only had 2 cups and not really sure what to make of it. Tina didn't like the smell and the "dirty" rag they used to prepare it with so it may not be our drink of choice in the future. Thanks for the warning about Mozzies. we will make sure we're fully stocked up with DEET before we head off. D&T |
| 20th November 2007 bruv | gits - From: Welcome to our Travel-Blog i was sitting in my office looking out the window at the depressing, miserable weather , freezing my meat and two veg off because the heating had packed up again. then your E.mail popped up..... well git was not the first thing that came into my head but as we have to keep this clean. you lucky lucky B#*?s?/# ds. keep safe xxx |
| 20th November 2007 Brian & Rosemary | Greetings. - From: (Almost) Paradise Regained Daren have you tried the local brew Kava, never fear it's not alcoholic. It's a narcotic. The drill is:- you are gathered round a large bowl of the stuff with an even larger Figian squatting beside it, you clap three times and are given a cup of it. For each refill you clap three times; when you are unable to place your hands together thee times consecutively you've had enough. Usualy my lips went numb after three cups. Tina you can look forward to meeting, free of charge, the Kiwi version of Mozzi especially in the lower South Island around about the Milford Sound, we call them our Ambassadors, they leave a lasting impression. Love from Rosemary and Brian. |
| 19th November 2007 Sarah B | Accidents - From: (Almost) Paradise Regained Well done Tina, keep up the good work. We knew you wouldn't fail us, don't worry I am sure you will get to roll down a hill soon!!! Love to you both |
| 19th November 2007 Stuart Esslemont | Hmmmm - From: (Almost) Paradise Regained Sounds like you're having a wonderful time, wish it were me. Will the 2 of you be staying on seperate islands (like the programme) then meeting up once a week to see if you want to stay together? Tina, remember that in order to defrost anything you need to stand on a table and hold the item closer to the sun - works a treat everytime. Been a very poor weekend here in the Channel Islands, wind, rain, fog but fortunately no snow, Crevices or Robson's. Keep well and hope to hear from you again soon. |
| 19th November 2007 Neil G | - From: Welcome to our Travel-Blog Looking good so far guys, keep the photo's coming |
| 16th November 2007 Kevin Sullivan | Get on with it .......... - From: Welcome to our Travel-Blog *settles into comfy chair - cracks open can of beer and waits for the first update* |
| 16th November 2007 Nicky Ferguson | Happy Travels! - From: Welcome to our Travel-Blog Sorry I didn't get to say 'goodbye'... hope you both have the bestest of times... Nicky x |
| 26th October 2007 Dan the BBC Man | - From: Welcome to our Travel-Blog May you take a little bit of us all with you on your travels. Not in a literal way of course...that would be disgusting, disturbing and give the customs chaps quite a shock ("Why...that would be a bag of human hair and nail clippings"). Send me a card from somewhere hot and sweaty, like L.A - I hear the football staduims are quite A La Mode at the moment. |
| 17th October 2007 Kevin Sullivan | I had really ... - From: Welcome to our Travel-Blog ... rather hoped to be the first in here but it appears I have been beaten to it by the Weaseliest of all the Weasels. Fare ye well Young Hobbits - may you enjoy your adventures as you travel beyond The Shire. And remind me before you leave to tell you the three things ye must know about The Wise Woman. Toodles. |
| 17th October 2007 Stuart Esslemont | Spare room - From: Welcome to our Travel-Blog When you say spare room, do you really mean Daren's naughty room? I look forward to keeping track of your movements (no, not those movements!) |
