Hi. Yes the photos are great Dolls. Infact when I first saw "Mother and baby" I thought what on earth is my grand-daughter doing on this site and whose is the baby!!! She is a dead ringer of my Natalia. Very nice and congratulations again.
See you all on Saturday.

Hi Dr Livingstone, I hope some of our group can meet up with you and Desi. I will be away over in Scotland then so wont have the privilege. Sounds like a good trip you are going on and a lovely bit of country. If you are able...take the trip along Farewell Spit. Well worth it.
Cheers

Hi there Doc and Desi,
Sure would love to meet up with you both, keep in touch and let us know your whereabouts and when you have dates for your Nelson stay. Weekends are best for us as many are at work during the week.
Yes, it does sound like a grand trip, so easy when you take your home with you.lollollol Peter would be particularly interested to meet I am sure as he also has a campervan.

Hi all,
Yes it will be nice to meet up with you DrL and Desi. We are a much smaller group than yours. I work on Monday and Tuesdays, Thursday afternoons are out for me too. But there is some of us that could meet up with you.
I was down in CHCH not so long ago, but you were meeting out the other side of CHCH to where I was staying. I usually stay at Wigram. Otherwise I would have popped in to meet you all. Maybe next time. But it will be nice to meet you while you are here. Keep us posted during your travels and enjoy your trip. See you when you get here.
Not many sleeps now Hgee, till you wing your way to a warmer climate!!cool
Frosty here in Stoke this morningconfused
Have a good day all.biggrin
