Apologies whanua for being absolutely useless. But great news on the horizon - Pa and I are leaving london in 7 weeks to tour around europe for 8 weeks. We end up in New York on the 21 September 2005 for my brothers wedding. 'Yes', he is marrying an american lady (and lovely she is). All my whanau are coming to New York and I can't wait to see them all. Its gonna be great. Enough about my whanau! After New York we are heading to Las Vegas, San Franciso and then head to Sydney for a couple of months as we are not ready for the New Zealand lifestyle. Jubliee doesn't know it yet but we are staying with him, his wife, children and new tamariki. However, we will be heading back home a week before xmas. Pa and I are so excited, we are going hard out to save as much coin as we can. But I have to admit that these last few weeks is going to be the hell socialising times ever for us in london.

Pa and I recently have returned from Turkey - what an amazing place. We went to the sites of Gallipoli. EXCELLENT - unbelievable experience. Dont worry you will be bombard with photos on my return.

Anyway Whanau, a big kiss and cuddle to you all.

Hope you are all well, miss you all lots. Love Tara and Pa xxxxxxxxx
