First, a point that I am certain will be echoed by EVERYONE on this board VERY WELL DONE ALL KIWIS, especially Belinda, Graeme, Marianne. Thank you for your reports and your photographs.I LOVE ALL KIWIS, especially a very special few!  Peter S. Sorry Peter but what if you were to find out that Marianne & I weren't Kiwis ?? i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifGraeme I think I covered that in an earlier remark where I said 'all down under' which also included those visiting from topside up! : Peter S. |

Oh no..!!!!! He didn't !!!.It was about this wide. [/size]  Graeme [/quote] I bet she didn't really catch it, she either borrowed it or bought it at the fishmonger's!  Peter S.[/quote] And if it was that big, she would never have been able to hold it!  Best wishes Grant |

Hi any moderators out there.Would anyone be so kind as to unlock this thread from #326 up to today as I am going to replace my pics. I'm about half way thru re editing them to be < 100Kb & viewable. Thanks a lot,  Graeme

Hayley signs a large poster for Erica Richards, the Centre's Manager. Apologies for getting Erica's name wrong earlier....Richards is correct. Graeme |

Hi All, A couple of items for Kerikeri Concert: These items were in Marianne's hands whenever a pic of her was taken. i71.photobucket.com/albums/i145/graemar/P1160051-800w.jpgThe purpose was clear even though Hayley didn't have a signing table.  This was Marianne's idea: A Tui bird card which also sang his song.  We saw quite a few Tui's throughout NZ & quickly learned to recognize their very pretty call. Graeme PS the TUI description here pretty nearly fits Hayley !!!! |

Hello Graeme, I'm a little bit confused. Are Graeme & Graham the same name? Stephany Hi Stephany, The short answer is yes. The pronunciations are identical but Graeme (the proper spelling) is the Scots way of spelling the name (my mum told me that) & Graham is English spelling. Phonetically would be grayum. Hence I refer to Gra7890 as the "other" Gra/ham/eme. Hayley automatically spells my name Graham unless I say "e" "m" "e" to her before she starts writing. In these 2 cases Marianne was asking for the signatures & I was busy with the camera so nobody thought of it. Grayum |

Grayum Hi Graeme, I am not so sure there is a 'correct way' i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifMy Mum told me exactly the same as yours !! Nice to know Hayley will spell my name 'correctly' i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif . Have you mentioned to Hayley that another grayum exists :wink: Graham ( The proper spelling !) |

Graeme, you've started a big spelling competition! Graham, at least Hayley spells you name the way you do (ducks in case Graeme gets mad at that!)
Cool bird!

uh oh. This reminds me of some other thread where there was lawts uv wrang spelin goin awwn
In my opinion (IMO) there is no correct way of spelling any name, many people find Hayley spelt Hayley instead of Hailey or Haley incorrect but the truth is (IMO) that names can be spelt any way as long as the spelling for someting, take Lucinda because I believe no one here is named that, just has to be realistic, ie you can spell it Lewcinda or something like that but not Hnersnaef, because that is nothing like the COMMON (no correct!) spelling and completly unrecogniseable.
Even KeriKeri could be spelt KariKari or KerryKerry and still be correct, just not normal
