Holiday ads

Winter is usually the time of year for holiday adverts on the TV, well in New Zealand its no exception. This series from Malaysian Tourism was on when we first arrived. It was hauntingly spiritual and the music still makes my spine tingle when I hear it. Well worth a watch, although I wish the sound was better on this example.

hi

haven't written in ages so thought I'd put something. Don't know what though. hmmmm. Well the past 2 days i have been off school with a cough. At horse riding i had a go driving the quadbike and it was sooooo cool. The other day we took the dogs to the beach, it was a bit cold but still fun. On thursday i have a dentist appointment i think. On friday we had a school trip wen went to the art gallery, museum and botanical gardens for english. We had to write poems and stuff but most of the time we climbed trees and had leaf fights. I think thats all for now, hope everyone is ok x

Family Album 2

We have a new family ablum. This is because we have reached the 500 photo limit in the first one. Please email grant if you want the URL for access for Family 2.

Castle Rock

  What a find! We had spotted some pictures on the facebook page of one of Nicki's work colleagues and vowed to make the effort to go for ourselves. It was a great Saturday afternoon, shortly after the first sprinkling of snow for the season. The boulder formation is just outside the Porters Pass ski resort and is about an hours drive away, so we slipped out after dropping Georgia off and finishing the morning grocery shop.

We had a picnic when we arrived of hot soup and crusty bread, with fruit and biscuits and watched teh small groups of people bouldering before we set off. The soup was welcoming as there was a chill to the air out of the sun. We spent a couple of hours there, walking and climbing the different formations. We'll definately go again. Pictures can be found on the Castle Rock Ablum

My story

Well you know how i have been asking all of you to give me a story to write well i thought and thought and i came up with something. I'm not going to tell you what its about but i can tell you, we did it for school. It had to be handed in, so when i handed mine in my teacher said very well done.

A couple of days later i forgot where it was so i asked my teacher if he had it and he said yes - (it was on the very top of the pile) - he told me it was on the top of the pile because i was in the top 4 to win a prize or win the story competition- so now i cant wait to see if I'm 1st, 2nd or 3rd!

well must go bye bye bye xx - ill tell more soon =)

School Dentist/Eye site

Hi,

Today at school, i had an 'eye test', the lady said i was very good and i don't think i made any mistakes, after that i had the dentist. The dentist said i had spacey teeth which was very good and they were good and clean, and I'm good with my tooth brush, she also said that they were so lovely that she didn't need to take an x-ray but because i was year 8 she had to. She also she gave me a letter to say i needed to go to the Orthodontist for braces, - this is bad, its bad enough with a birthday coming up and trying to by a house, we don't need to spend $2000 or how ever much it is for a piece of metal in my mouth! - mom is going to ring to see how much they are first. I think I'm going to have to have them because Ive been told to in England as well! but money doesn't grow on tree's people!

I'm also not sure if i told you all this but, yesterday me and Alex got another cactus, we had one in England but we weren't allowed to bring it over here so nan has them. My fish is good and healthy i think :D

well must go now

love yah England
