What do you mean what are they really like? I've been honest already, they are really, really nice. I really couldn't find anything bad to say about them not even a teeny weeny thing. I have been stunned by their generosity (we are repaying them by exposing them to Gary's culinary skills!)

I tell you though, time flies when you're having fun! I can't believe we've been here for nearly a month already. Did your holiday fly by Shell? And what was your house like? Were you glad you bought it? What did you recon to Palmy North? Or have I missed all of this in another thread?

I think Taffy and WG warned immigration about your imminent arrival Dawn. I have my friends daughter staying with me at the mo and she got collared with an apple, probbaly the same bloody dog. She didn't get fined though, funny that.

Taffy, how did you let Dawn and co find your wine cellar?

I'm with you on that Vee, I kept looking around for Jeremy Beadle I tell you. And we haven't found their wine cellar! Why does everyone assume I've been on the old vinto tinto when I script my texts. There's an art to my writing you know! I'm beginning to feel like I should be booking myself into an AA meeting

Get one for yourself first, but not out of our money (or what's left of it) thanks very much.

Oh boy, things are crackling once again, now that Dawn's back

I tend to carry almonds when I travel, and maybe other food. When I fill out MAF or similar declarations forms I always have something to declare. So far, no one has confiscated my nuts, fruit or squished sandwiches. *Knock wood*

We also found the Wairarapa drive to be rather dull. Considering that riding in the car lulls me to sleep anyway, I had a guilt-free nap when we traversed it.
