Hi Everyone

Well got back yesterday and can't wait to go back for good, I had a fantastic time, My Brothers face was a picture, the plans all went out the window he would not go or do anything for his birthday so I just turned up at his work tapped him on the back, he turned round and shouted what the bloody hell are you doing here jumping up and down gobsmacked. I cried and hugged him he cried too such a great feeling.

Back to Hamilton and hello's all round good old drink and then slept like a baby.

Brother feeling guilt sis come all this way and no party so off we go to a good old barbie and meet with lots of really lovely people, the fun has started. The hangover was mega but worth it,

What else did I do we drove all around Hamilton looking at houses and sections trying to discover what area we will go to, Walked for miles along the river walk enjoying the fantastic weather and views all the houses are so different.

I had arrived god I was in heaven. People really are so friendly most of the strangers that I met were all interested in why and when we are coming back, I went to a place called Raglan and the beach was awsome the surf was amazing to watch just sat for hours watching all the guys and girls having fun riding the waves and they are just amazing to watch. I must learn how to do it.

The fishing trip was cancelled he was looking down on me thank-you.
I did notice how clean every where was no litter, funny what you notice when away from home lots of lovely places to have lunch and sit outside watching the world go by, I did this a few times and the food was lovely and as silly as this sounds the bread is lovely so light and always hot when served my mouth is watering now.

Jules and Linda sorry I did not get time to visit but I will when back the time just flew not sure where it went. In to the beer bottles I think :laugh

They do like the beers and outdoor life don't they at least I know that we will be back before the year ends.

The flights were also good went with Cathy Pacific Via Hong Kong all on time and service was excellent. feeling a bit strange at the moment trying to get back on this planet. And what a shock when got to Heathrow it was BLOODY freezing :wah :wah My suitcase is full of Newspapers and house plans it will take Peter weeks to read up on.

Just trying to catch up on the post and whats going on here Moorf great house and I see your now promoted Well Done you.

You all must be bored now so I will post later with things that I have missed out, and sorry but it sucks being HERE Now to sell this house and get out of here. ROLL ON.

Pamela.

yes, but it still has social stigma and its important to our family that remain entrenched for another year at least...

Pam

You sound abit more 'chippa' this morning. Your PM last night made you sound like abit of a zombi !!!!

Good on you for having such a brilliant time. Your holiday seems to have gone so fast. The bit where you suprised your brother sounded good, I bet he was well chuffed. Had he really got no idea at all?

So .... back to sell the house and then off !!!!!! You sure do sound excited and full of enthusiasm. It great when you feel like that eh.

What about the pictures? Give us some more news when you have time and feel abit more like you have your feet on the ground. By the way - what was the Business Class flight like.
