News from Nelson – October 2 2008

Hi all,

We have been flat out in the past few weeks; I don't think our feet have touched ground. Just a few notes & then I will update you properly in a few weeks as things are just too busy right now!

   Jan has been taking Coco to Dog Agility & she loves it (photo).

   We have our Brazillian exchange student, Ana Sylvia, with us now. She is wonderful! She heads back to Brazil on Boxing Day.

   Sold some stuff on Trademe to make room in the garage for the new motorbike, so we could sell the old & clear out the spare room so we could fit Ana in!

   We caught up with Warren & Trace & Erica in Marlborough last Sunday of Labour Weekend which was fab

   Christél & Ray got married - pix at http://www.flickr.com/photos/29854470@N04//show/

   Tessa & her new girlfriend Helen were up in Nelson this last weekend & we had dinner with them

   We are both largely recovered from our colds

   Next holiday will be heading over to Golden Bay for our Anniversary while Ana Sylvia does the Milford Track

   Brigitte & John are coming to visit at the end of November

   Otto, Jeremy & Tina are coming to visit on Boxing Day.

Take care & alles liebe!

Sam & Jan
