Happy belated birthday!! Sorry! Havent checked e-mails for weeks - been a busy Christmas at school but only 2 more days to go! Happy bday for nov! it's mine tmr! Hope you sell your van. So pleased you finally saw a whale! There are a lot of knobs in New Zealand eh?! Take it easy, eL*
Loved the photos of the wild life, we hope you dont have any problems selling the van, if you do put on a baot to your Dad and Anna they can save it for their gap year and it would look good on their drive!
Uhh ! Oops sorry I think I pressed the wrong button again ! I was happily reading your adventures then got to the last bit and couldn't believe it you an ALLEN believing what they told you in Aukland about selling the van ! really ! we need to talk when you get home Mel ! love you both X
Feliz Navidad Feliz Navidad ( Happy Christmas in Spanish )
We just love your decorated van it is so you two.
I know it's going to hurt to part, but don't leave selling your baby too late, you don't want to be put under pressure to sell.We're so impressed with what you've been doing. love us x
A summer Christmass??? Hiya - so go to see you are keeping up tradition and decorating the van - where's the tree? I went and bought one today 10' tall n smells wonderfully piney (tho that's always a bit bog-freshenerish to my mind!). Soo looking forward to Christmass - must try n e mail you on 25th - where will you be? Your routine n diet sound v brit - where's all that bushtucker nosh??
Love ya - keep on truckin (when the f***er will let you!) Mandy n co
