Rope Swing We knew that you lot would love the rope swing, just pleased to be able to give you all a right good laugh and Mark's expense! As for Woodsey, that was pure chance. Bumped into him in a bar on the Khao San Road. Spent the rest of the evening with him and his friend and also visited Wat Pho with him the next day. Good to catch up but all very random ... small world and all that!
Oh Dear! Oh Dear indeed Sue - excellent final comment on the rope swing video! It actually looked like you were being fired out of an exceptionally weak cannon Casp! Less beautiful scenery and a lot more of that please!!
Happy New Year Happy New Year!! Paul and I moved into our newly renovated house a few days before our respective parents descended for Christmas, so it's been an extremely hectic time, but brilliant too. The house is great - very large, we were a bit overwhelmed at first - but lovely. Now we are on the search for a last minute winter sun holiday, we both feel the need to get away from it all. Your stay in Oz looks stunning, and has renewed my resolve to find us somewhere equally idyllic beach-wise for the end of this month. Thanks for staying in touch, and let's see what 2007 brings for us all! PS: Tony and I are arranging to play tennis this weekend... weather permitting (not something you guys are having to worry about at the moment!). xx
Happy New Year Happy New Year to you both.and many happy returns for your birthday sue.The hair looks Great.suits you.Some more great photos and memories to add to your collection.Looks fantastic.Take care of yourselves and enjoy
love Kim,Gus and Family.xx
From Lees Well hello there!!
Back at last from SA, had a stunning time of course, and by the loooks of the pics you've posted, you are sharing the kind of weather we had!
Loved the belly flop - poor Casper, it must have hurt! Sue - love the hair, looks really good!
All's well this side of the world - back to work and all systems go. George has started crawling - offically on New Year's Day, so very exzcting time for Greg and I....She has also cut her sixth tooth and seems to be growing by the day.
Anyway, take care, lots of love and speak soon,
Lees

Happy new year to the both of you. Thank you very much for the text on the morning of the wedding. All went very well and looking forward to the honeymoon.

Happy New Year Hi there, I want to wish you a great 2007!!! May your travels take you where you want to go! Love from Anitra and Ardi (remember Huacachina) from Cuzco.
Happy New Year Hey guys, a quiet night shift so time to catch up on your blog. It all looks so amazing, I can't believe how much you've done. I know you are now in Aus so looking forward to reading all about it. As you know we are over in Perth in March so lots of pictures please.
We had a lovely Christmas in B'mth and of course Pete's Birthday. The main event was a 5 a side posse football match which rather over took the day. I attempted to take Pete for a romantic lunch. However, Pete spent the entire time writing out the team lists on the place mat and talking tactics.....now that's romance.
Well, we've missed the Merry Christmas greeting but in time to wish you a very Happy New Year, we will think of you at midnight when you will just be waking up to the hangover. Have a great time travelling towards Perth, hear from you soon. All our love Clare and Peter xxxxx
Update Please Being in serious wind down mode at work I thought it time to check out the Casper and Sue blog again. Where are the fresh new pictures of more amazing places? Are you locked in your hostel rooms, still in a state of depression after going to the WACA. What a joke. Why are we such losers?!?!
Where will you be for NYE? It's a bit weird for the posse this year as everyone is dotted about all over the place. Personally I blame you two.
Sorry to report Casp that Bmth are looking a sound bet for relegation unless Kevin Bond starts to sort it out!
Marvin the kitten is the cutest kitten you've ever seen. He's growing fast and might be a cat by the time you see him.
If you happen to email me, please email to both addresses: themcgaws@btinternet.com and davidmcgaw@hsbc.com
Merry Xmas lovely couple and a Happy 2007.
Love Kel and Dave
cricket why is monty not playing? very good question mr mcgaw ... let's just hope he gets picked for the next test at the WACA, which, incidentally, we are hoping to get tickets for. man utd for the treble; no comment. pleased to hear that you are familiar with the malbec.
once again, thanks to everyone for their wonderful comments and messages - keep them coming please! mark and sue xx
Malbec Glad to hear you've discovered the Malbec, it's not a scecret in our houshold. Look forward sharing a bottle or two with you upon your return!
Moreno is amazing isn't it, so mellow.
Glad you're having such an amzaing time. Why does Sue look so slim and you don't Casper?
LUSSSSHHHHH VIEW. To be fair I'd completely understand if you just stayed by that pool for the rest of your trip.
Why the hell isn't Monty playing?
Utd for the trebble.
Love Kelly and Dave

Greetings from Ghana Hi Both, Not quite the scenes of ghana I'm afraid but nice all the same!!
The cable cart picture reminds me of a scene from Moonraker when Jaws meets Bond and Dr. Goodhead half way!
Also, pleased to see that stig brown tracky top making an appearance!!
Looks like you are both having a great time.... Fairplay!!
Greg
Hello! Dear Both,
As usual you are both looking so well and like you are having the best time - I have to say the picture you posted of Tahiti is just amazing. Jay (my brother) and I often joke about heading off to 'Hiti for a holiday!!!
Anyway, safe journey to Aus - we will be in the same hemisphere's soon but just not close enough - can't wait for S.A, only a few more weeks now.
Greg is in Ghana at the moment. Looking forward to his return on Monday - Georgia is very well and is cutting her second tooth - she just gets cuter all the time and makes me smile .. we are so very proud of her.
Anyway, love to you both - take care out there and remember we're thinking of you,
Lees

travel guide! I have to say, your writing skills are amazing - publishers are gagging for travel writers and they pay an awful lot of money. As this blog is all copyright you seriously ought to think about it. Anyway, nice to see you on Skype this am and Sue's new hairdo looks a treat - everyone else will have to wait 'till next time to see it. Those views are spectacular - even the one from the hotel in Tahiti - What a way to spend a birthday!
Absolutely fabulous places and really glad to see yours smiles reflect the fun you're having, but I just hope you two didn't disagree on which direction you were going on that tandem! ;-)
