hailall,

most pleased the skirt is being worn mama, looks good. looks like you’ve got another cough liv!!!! Jul’s hair appears to be evn longer. you might have to cut it for the anual trip to the south of france for the cistomary wedding!!! Geoff has gone for the short or no look himself, and finds it most rafreshing if a little chilly in the evenings. he is most annoyed at not beiong able to see any of the matches on account of them being at about three in the morn ans such cretinopus times.
we are back in nelson and have just collected mamas letter from the good old post office, cheers muchly for all the news of the homestead. don’t send any more here, and i hope granny hasn’t as we are leaving on the tonight never to reture. the next port of call with significant postal services will be greymouth. i’ll be expecting a sisable wod once we make it down there!!!

Had an epic ride over green hills and white streches of sand!!! galloping galore and much good scenery. there were three of us, us two and a guide and there was also a small mini horse with us coming along for the exercise. he loved it tossing his head in the wind and galopping along beside the otherb horses. a most rafreshing ride and i would recommend it to anyone. Geoff stayed on admirably. there was one hairy moment as we pounded down the beach, our guides hair rlying in the wind (we both wore helmets you will be please to hear, though the temptation to hav ethebreeze in my hair was almost irresistable!!!!) geoffs horses did a quick swerve to avoide the small horse (piwi) who was capering around infront of him, ans goef nearly got left behind. luckily he stayed on and had a great time. he likes the fast pace, and finds the walking a little tediouse!! i like all of it, and can’t understand how you’ve avoided those all dayers for so long dod?!!

Glad to see that the good old bath is being protected, though something needs to be done about the shower. bigger and more room is needed. a cubicle i say!

Just heard that ed and nikki did a 1300 mike journey (peth – coast n back) in 4 days!! cor blimey, we like to take it a little easier than that, chilling by the side of the road until we smell and then heading for a campsite for a good wash of self and clothes!

well, better get on and write the general mail. if granny has send something and i havn’t got it, just pas it along the line that i did and am most gratefull would you?
cheers
Love Tanya
