Whilst my parents have been travelling the world they've sent us lots of postcards, unfortunately though the ones from New Zealand seem to have taken ages to arrive. Looking at this article from the paper this morning it seems like the problem may have been that they just used our address rather than actually describing where we live - amazingly it only took 4 days for this postcard to reach Norfolk from the Canary Islands! Generally I think I'm lucky if a letter reaches Dorset from London in the same time...

There was no contest for today's 'photo of the day' - after appearing on the local paper's website last Friday, Mr W and his tube-running exploits have now made it into the print edition. I am so proud of his efforts and hope that he manages to raise lots of money for SANDS.
