Sounds absolutely great Belinda. Are you sure that can be fitted into one day, really taking everything in with time to absorb atmosphere etc. Certainly you have told me how to spend at least one day in CHCH.
Have a great day folks. Remember, reports are expected--and photos too, please. After all, we have done you proud from the UK, I think, don't you?

Hi Belinda You certainly have a full day planned. I am sure you will all have a great time. Belinda, would you be kind enough to tell Thomas that I got his PM and will book 2 tickets for the Telford concert if they go on sale whilst he is in NZ - just to reassure him I hope that between you there will be some photos of the day. Have a great time. Best wishes Mark. |

Roger TWO SUGARS! Aren't you a sweet enough guy as it is?!!!! I'm not sure Hayley would approve. However, I had noticed I have been hovering over the 2,000th post for the last two or three days and flatly refusing to post JUST to clock the numbers but I think it is not inappropriate that the 2,000th post is in reply to a Roger post!  By the by, I don't take any sugar at all--I know how sweet I am already! Peter S. |

Thank you Roger for your good wishes. I really don't know how it happened as I have had several long-stay absences but somehow the numbers clicked up!
