| 20th November 2009 philip and rachael towers | well done! - From: Don't Pay The Ferryman! Tim and Emma (and bump) Congratulations, we all couldn't be happier for you - looks like you've made it to one of the best places on Earth. Look forward to communicating with you during the daytime when your baby is born! |
| 3rd October 2009 Justine | reply to John G... - From: The Curious Case of macadamia nut butter this is what New Zealand is like - no air brushing or photoshop needed. You go to a beach - and it is perfect... Picture perfect. If you dont believe - come and visit... |
| 3rd September 2009 AdrianaIna | pics - From: Finding Nemo...finally! Beautiful pictures! |
| 2nd September 2009 John Glennon | Stinger? - From: Trials and Tribulations I think I found a used "stinger" behind a bus-stop in Aigburth at the weekend.... |
| 2nd September 2009 John Glennon | Emu sausage - From: Anyone for potato salad? Rod Hull is spinning in his grave you bad bad people.... and what's with all this travelling - don't you guys ever go to work? Tut tut tut From, Jealous of Liverpool x |
| 10th August 2009 et | Wow this makes my day - From: More Trees and Forest for Dr. Bob I love this - more trees and forests. They're my favourite - Thanks Guys! Love Rob xx |
| 3rd August 2009 Rob | - From: Grey everything...except the sky Trees and forests, great! |
| 3rd July 2009 chloe | what a wombat seats. - From: What does a wombat eat? hi i am Chloe i have a pet wombat and now my wombat is a little bit hungry but i don't now what a wombat eats. |
| 22nd June 2009 lagi | wombats eats - From: What does a wombat eat? well wombats eat shrubs and roots |
| 26th May 2009 gh | - From: D'oh! I am led to believe that The Simpsons was actually invented in New Zealand as was spaghetti, dover sole, bubblewrap, vertigo and the Doppler effect. |
| 20th April 2009 GH | - From: Who says you can't go back? I think in the name of equality you should also have your photo taken next to a particularly small tree |
| 26th March 2009 Natalie | Spiritual Home - From: Top Gear Lovely, but where's the photie of Clark Valley?? |
| 17th January 2009 Rob | Hawkes Bay - From: New Year in Hawkes Bay I have a very similar picture of Craggy range taken when i was there. I could have warned you about Mission, there's always a wait, Craggy is much nicer to eat and its on the way back from the beach |
| 16th January 2009 John G | re. "Mmmm...I like this" - From: The Curious Case of macadamia nut butter That's been airbrushed.... far too perfect and toned - reeks of Photoshop to me |
| 14th January 2009 Bod | Nice, but compared to my Xmas... - From: A Sound Idea OK guys, so this looks like an OK end to the Xmas festivities. Matilda, Bethan and I, on the other hand, stayed in due to the excrutiating cold outside, ate left over turkey and then, in the evening, drank G and T (Bethan drank her ammino-acid life juice through her tube of course). So, yes your trip looked pretty good, but compared to our highly innovative post-Xmas debrief it loses some of its shine doesn't it.... ;-) Bet you are kicking yourselves you left huh? Bod |
| 13th January 2009 John G | Bon annee! - From: A Sound Idea Good to see you guys doing well and keeping the blog up. Stay chipper and keep travelling... |
| 15th December 2008 John Glennon | Nickelback - From: Koo-Koo-Katoomba Re picture "Bro n Bro" - Nickelback have let themselves go... Good to see they're still friendly and hiking together though... |
| 21st October 2008 Mike | Happy Birthday and update! - From: Happy Campers Great to see you still updating the blog! I'm dead jealous of you guys! We tried to get Tiago to go out camping and enjoy a night under canopy on a campfire friendly site, but I'm afraid to report that he's a bit of a girly blouse and refused point blank to go, so we ended up going for a Portuguese meal. Starters were great, but the mains were less impressive. No secret of black pig has been smuggled into Liverpool. Douarnanez is........ quiet. We've not seen any boat/house paint sales on yet to put an end to that arguement, but I'm sure The Castrec is sharpening his axe as we speak. No sign of Cock dog's french counterpart. I'm sure there a chien called Claude wandering the street in a cravate, beret and with a string of Les Bonios around his neck. Happy birthday, and remember...... Jesus Loves you both :) |
| 4th October 2008 gayhand | timer function - From: Elephants, Boulders, Dogs, Otters and Salmon Tim, Did you use the timer on your camera to take that photo of you jumping? you did a better job of it than in that farmers field in Lithuania |
| 25th September 2008 Buzz | Wes - From: Wes and Bobby Dave's big adventure Just like "Uncle Travelling Matt" of Fraggles fame. Any relation? Looking forward to the next thrilling installment! Wes should have his own TV show! |
| 1st September 2008 John Glennon | Lenny Henry? - From: New Brighton I don't know, you emigrate and still can't escape Lenny Henry. It was Lenny Henry that gave me the inspiration to get into stand-up. I saw Lenny Henry and had a revelation - you don't have to be funny to do stand-up! I dig the new ornathological bent to the blog - my advice to you is "keep on shaggin' kids"... |
| 1st September 2008 Mike | Happy anniversary! - From: Once upon a time in the West Hey guys.... 14 years together! Happy anniversary to you both! I hope when me and Dawn have been together that long we can go on a beautiful train ride like that! Looks amazing. Any chance of more otter shots? |
| 11th August 2008 maria and steve | nearly impressed - From: A big one to tick off the list Thought you'd climbed it- must have been terrible trying to move from 2nd to third gear! Wot a pair of woosies- you can't cross it off your list until you've climbed it. Emma will of course need to grow the statutory beard for the pic with flag on top! Are you catching the olympics- hope you're supporting the brits even though you've traded your national identity to be kiwis!! Looks fab! LOL x |
| 11th August 2008 Wales | wow! - From: A big one to tick off the list a rare sight to see it clear, esp the whole range..wow you lucky things!!! Great to hear all your news, keep it coming!X |
| 7th August 2008 Yvonne | Ann & Tom - From: New Brighton Where are Ann & Tom???...or is that what you named the shags! |
| 4th August 2008 rob | re the beach - From: New Brighton lovely - emma, a beach, a good couple of shags, super and someone made a mess on the sand! |
| 28th July 2008 John G | Shaggin' - From: Diamond Harbour, Rugby, Lyttelton and Sumner I'm surprised you had any energy to publish these pics after all those shags... isn't a wonder you emigrated - you were causing seismic faults on the Wirral! I'm still confused by the Tim / Rock picture - can you clarify what is what please? |
| 2nd June 2008 Mike | Cock Pig? - From: Okains Bay Is that Cock Pig I see before me? |
| 15th May 2008 Yvonne | Good Luck - From: Final Destination Best of luck to you both. Keep us updated on how your getting on. The IT crowd are off for their monthly walk on Sunday - this month is Snowdonia - Tim 2 has requested that instead of walking that he rides naked on his BMX...its like you have never left Tim! ;-) |
| 13th May 2008 Wales | Bon courage! - From: Final Destination Good luck!! Keep us updated even if you don't travel around! :) |
| 12th May 2008 Mike | What's with the "....cool as" comments - From: With added Kiwi unfinished similes Guys. You've only been away for a few weeks and you're already forgetting how to complete a sentence. Please. You're starting to sound...... AMERICAN! Lets have a couple of verses of Land of hope and Glory to make you feel better. |
| 9th May 2008 Wales | wow! - From: Tramp footwear All looks great!! So jealous! I went skiing on top of Mount Ruapehu, it smelt so bad of eggs (due to its volcanic nature!) and I stayed in a tiny wooden hut at the bottom and almost froze to death!!! loved it though, keep enjoying yourselves!!X |
| 6th May 2008 Mike | Belated birthday! - From: Surf's up! Hey guys, a belated happy birthday form me and Dawn! Tim - I got a new bike. Joking over now. Where is my old one!!!! :) |
| 28th April 2008 Genuis | - From: A sign of somefinn Agree with Em, that is a fabulous info board, never seen one quite like itX |
| 22nd April 2008 philip&rachael towers | - From: We made it! delighted you made it to nz eventually - i still can't believe they would let tim in with his ginger goattee. 'temo' is fine, though last week rachael took it to work and left the lights on, with predictable results! she got her own job though, and is now 'sister rachael' take care |
| 21st April 2008 John G | You don't fool me.... - From: Glennon's challenge! ... nice try kids... Emma's pic almost had me hoodwinked but then I spotted that she's sat on a Hilbre Island in West Kirby holding a bottle purchased from Bargain Booze on Sandy Lane. Also Tim has his foot on the REAR-WHEEL of a green vehicle and is playing a diminished 6th chord - this was always our "special sign" when we worked together that he was lying... You nearly had me there too... so, we've had a think around the office and here's our next two challenges: - We want a photograph of one of you holding hands with a local senior citizen who is mouthing the words "New Zealand".. the fact the person is not wearing a shell-suit will be good proof you are where you say you are... - We hear there are a few sheep there? So we want a photo of Tim being "friendly" with a sheep that is wearing sunglasses |
| 21st April 2008 Buzz | Wiwi??????????? - From: Glennon's challenge! I can't believe that you decided to play air guitar....... What about the van with wee wee written on it... |
| 21st April 2008 johnformby | - From: Down on the farm 2 Once again, beautiful scenery and a great looking backpackers. I think the bird in the picture is a Black-winged Stilt (Himantopus himantopus) |
| 21st April 2008 johnformby | Nice - From: Falling water and water falls Just signed up to the travel blog so I can post comments :-) The forest and waterfalls look amazing. I am going to have to visit (now that you have mentioned pies :-) ) The backpackers looks really nice as well (better than some hotels I have stayed in). Do you just cook for yourselves in the kitchen or is a group thing? |
| 20th April 2008 sandra | laughing - From: Glennon's challenge! livin life! |
| 18th April 2008 Lynds | Happy Birthday Emma - From: We're off again! Hi Emma and Tim hope you are both well? Just a quick email to say Happy Birthday Emma, hope you have a good one. Look forward to reading the bloggs and hope you are both enjoying yourselves. Lynds |
| 17th April 2008 John G | Nice one - From: We made it! Congrats on completing the first part of your adventure.... is the phrase "making friends with the resident minature horses and a dog called Muttley" a strange local metaphor? I think this entire trip is an elaborate hoax.and that you're really holed up in a Birkenhead council flat. To prove me wrong, I request that there is a photo in the next blog showing Emma drinking a bottle of cold local beer whilst winking and wearing a hat of some sort. Also, I request a photo of Tim playing air guitar with his left foot resting the front wheel of a parked car - preferably a green car. |
| 14th April 2008 maria | hooray¬ - From: We made it! Glad you got there safely. keep us updated!! Saw Paddy today- told him I was visiting retired colleagues as a community type of chore- care in the community for old retired cops!! |
| 14th April 2008 Wales/Genius | How exciting!!! - From: We made it! Glad you arrived safe...if a little smelly! Keep us updated, although the jealousy is building rapidly with each blog entry so don't milk it too much...Otherwise I'll be tempted to sell up and join you guys over there!! ;) XXX |
| 14th April 2008 mike | Glad to hear it. - From: We made it! Hi t&e Very glad to hear that you made it ok. Keep the pictures and messages coming. We miss you already. Love Mike. Tracy & Nathan. |
| 13th April 2008 Wales | Bon voyage!! - From: We're off again! Enjoy the adventure!! I'm already saving to come visit...any excuse to go back to NZ! Lots of loveXXXX |
| 12th April 2008 Paddy | Enjoy the adventure - From: We're off again! Emma and Tim The adventure has started - enjoy and I hope your wishes come true. Emma - some of the words that I frequently used in the office during moments of tension can also be used in New Zealand - if you forget them let me know and i'll provide a reminder!!! Love Paddy, Amanda and Edward X |
| 10th April 2008 sandra | hey there! - From: We're off again! awesome! way to go! |

| 23rd December 2005 Eleri (Wales/Genuis!) | I'm home too now! - From: Our final curtain Hello guys! Thanks for keeping such a comprehensive blog of our tour across the U.S together - you put in loads of details about the route we took/states we went through that I didn't take in at all along the way so it'll be a great help in putting together my album (mammouth task...don't know where to start...you must have it worse than me!)When I get a chance I'll read your whole site...it'll just give me itchy feet again though! I'll be up North to visit you both very soon! You are always welcome in Wales too if you are ever passing by! Merry Christmas!! Love Elerixxx |
| 23rd November 2005 anonymous | Thanks ! - From: Our final curtain A great big thank you for sharing your travel adventures with all of us strangers. It's been a wonderful read. Good luck in the future to you both. |
| 21st November 2005 anonymous | - From: Our final curtain Hi there! I've kept up with your blogs and would actually be waiting for the next one! It sounds like you had a fantastic time. Good on yah! I hope you'll fill us in on how you're doing once you get home. You know, we've gotten to know you. I travelled right through my 20's. When I'd get back home, it would last for only about 2 months and away I'd go again. Been all over the world and still get itchy feet. Six continents and I'm thinking about where to go next! It won't be Antarctica though. No desire to see ice and snow. Got that at home! All the best in the future to the both of you. |
| 31st July 2005 Josh | - From: Forest Research Institute of Malaysia I was updating my blog while stuck on yours... It's not a primary rainforest, they are at most, 80 years of age :) Pretty hard to believe, huh? :) Happy traveling! |
| 1st July 2005 rob | auckland - From: Orc-land? Guys I loved auckland when we were there. The restaurant in the sky tower is great. It was cool to speak to you the other day. I really miss NZ and i'm very tempted to move back one day......especially to hear the famous radio jingles "the warehouse, the warehouse, where everyone gets a bargin.....and a money back guarrantee" rob |
| 27th March 2005 anonymous | - From: 12 days to go! You incredibly lucky pair - Tim, get a haircut!!! - Matt |
| 21st January 2005 anonymous | Cold here...! - From: Dead Frogs and Englishmen... Just thought you'd like to know that it is cold and raining here. As for 800 species of birds, I did manage a blackbird and some starlings in the garden today. Not quite so impressive huh? Well, enjoy your far east adventure - you deserve a darned nice time. - Bod |
| 23rd November 2004 anonymous | Good luck - Bod and Matilda - From: Less than 8 weeks to go! When you see it mapped out like that it looks like such a massive adventure. Good luck and we'll eagerly await your postings. Cheers, Bod and Matilda |
