Hi again. This will probably be my last post if no-one is reading them except you Marty. We are now on the Coromandel peninsula, beautiful beaches and the beer is still cold. Only a few days left to enjoy the New Zealand scenery and weather. Looking forward to seeing everyone on the weekend. Until then, love & hugs, Moo & Jules xxxx

joining in

I rang mum and dad and they need me to help them get on. I haven't heard from the mountains or the sea mobs but I think it will all come together next weekend.
The other thing that happens is that after I send the email inviting people to join if they don't do it then a time limit stops them some how.

Hi All
We are now in Papamoa on the Bay of Plenty. Spent last night in Rotorua. We had our first (& hopefully last) rain overnight on Friday. Saturday continued a bit overcast but today, Sunday, has been magnificent. We will now be taking our time and heading to the Coromandel peninsula which is to the East of Auckland. Not far from there back to the airport next Saturday but a lot to keep us amused. Haven't got my lead to download photos and couldn't do it last week when I tried anyhow. You can see the snaps next weekend. We are due to land at 1820 on Saturday so should be at 39 by about 8p.m. Look forward to seeing everyone. Will probably post again before then anyway. Hope the olds are on now. What about the Mountain Isos and the coastal push - Jack? Kate? You are keeping quiet since you joined in Annie. I'll finish my beer now and help Jules cook the shellfish he collected today. Take it easy.
Love Moo & Jules xxxxx

I'll hassle the Olds

Hi Moo and Jules
I'm glad you're using this. I'm going to ring the olds and hassle them to get on. I was going to wait till next weekend and help them but I think it needs to happen sooner. I finished my last lot of year 12 moderation folders today. got up at 4 and have been flat out all day. I'll be in bed soon.
Hey how about some photos
cheers

Greetings from the Land of the Long White Cloud! What a beautiful country New Zealand is. The weather is glorious, the people friendly & the beer cold. We have seen a kiwi in the wild and experienced some magnificent views. Tonight we are in Waitangi where the treaty was signed. We were too late to give the site of the signing justice today so we will see it first thing tomorrow and then head on to Russell. This area is on the Bay of Islands. Beautiful! Jules is cooking dinner in our van as I write this. More next time. Love Moo & Jules xxxxx

Hi Guys

Hi Annie

Welcome to the blog. I'm no expert at this either but I think it could be fun. I'm not sure if I have to put the girls email addresses in as I think I might be the administrator. You have a go and if you can't put them in let me know. You have to send them an email from the blog to invite them. I think you click on the dashboard. Claire is actually the expert on this.

The other thing we can do is change the layout of the blog if you don't like this one.

I bought another francis barnett off ebay yesterday. Here are a couple of photos. I now have to get it here from Perth. It's probably a bit extravagant as I still have the gear box from my other FB in getting rebuilt.

Cheers

Marty

I think the girls should join in. The more the merrier! See you all soon. Next posting from NZ. xx

Hi all, I'm in too. when I work out how to do things like put photos in I'll send you a photo of our picture we got from Alice framed and hanging on the wall. See you all soon!! Is this suitable for our girls to go in because they have their own email.

Here is the Francis Barnett brochure that Moo sent to me. It's the one on the top.

Greetings

Hi All
Sounds like a fun idea to me. We will contribute. This will probably be our only entry until we hit New Zealand but it will be a good way to keep you all up to date with our travels. See you all soon. Moo & Jules xxxxx

This is a start

Hello everyone

I am trying a new idea which is obviously a family blog. The idea is that we share what is happening in our lives in another form other than email. I am new to this but at the moment I have set up the blog so only those I have invited (immediate family) can add to the blog but I think you can invite other people in. For example your kids may have a separate email and may wish to use it. Anyway lets have a go and see how it turns out.

I will upload some pictures because I am playing around. Mum remember that bike that sat in the shed for ages. Well thats the 250 that Mark used to get his license and I'm about to register again. This other bike is my OEC atlanta.
