Welcome back guys. we’re so pleased that you made it safely back home. Did you bring some snow back with you, or what””” Jase, I tried phoning you at home (as I lost your mobile no.) but you were probably chasing that illusive ring up. Man you look like you’ve piled on the FAT and that is even before getting married. I am dreading to think what would happen afterwards!! That picture of both of you in front of the Opera House is superb by the way. We look forward to speaking to (or possibly seeing) you soon.

Welcome back to Scotland. Congratulations on your engagement. Now that we will no longer have the pleasure of viewing fabulous looking dishes of haute cuisine, manifold bottles of wine, breathtaking landscapes and alcoholic adolescent kangaroos, how about a blog of the ring—hunt et al until it makes it to Claire’s hand”

Marvellous photos and so glad that you visited our New Zealand Family. You both look so very very happy and hope you always remain so. Please dont stay in N. Zealand. Scotland is also very beautiful and we would miss you Gwen & Peter and Jady

Claire, you are so brown so there, it is not a fantasy, you have managed to gain enuff freckles to look pure tanned, I am so fed up now, I got over the fish chat, then you moved onto good food chat, then you got tanned, huh, enuff, get your butts home and enjoy our current blizzards!!!
Not missing you at all, can’t you tell

Dearest Jase and Claire,
We’ve been watching with envious gazes throughout your time in NZ, congratulations on what seems an amazing trip-you seem to have done it all. Looking forward to catching up once more in person soon. Andy and Henrietta

Ros Ron and Jenny
A bit late with the full ‘congratulations’ on your engagement and can’t wait to celebrate with you on return to Darnick. So far 1 plant has died-probably from my over -watering but now trying harder! Glad that your family made it and hope they enjoy Colleen’s Sydney apartment too. Where have the months gone? You have done so much and have lots to show for it and must feel that you’ve been on a whirlwind and the engagement will have made it all even more memorable. Keep in touch from Oz if you can.

Hi Jase and Claire.Really pleased to hear your news!
We have been looking at your photos with great longing and envy – why are we stuck here in cold Scotland?
I am working away at a locum consultant job for a few months – it is quite a leap from my nice leisurely SPR job.
Hope to see you when you return. The little one is not so little anymore.
Love, Hilda

Claire CLAIRE – you almost look brown!!! Is it the haze from the freckles??? Your folks look great, I hope you have a ball, speak to you soon. Fiona X

Roger Brown
Glad to hear from you again.In case you are worried about stuff you might have read in the UK press, THERE IS NO NEED TO PANIC ABOUT BEING OPEN ALL HOURS WHEN YOU COME IN THE SUMMER. It is all being negotiated at the minute, and it does look like surgeries will have to extend opening hours by 30 minutes per 1000 patients per week, which is about 5-6 hours for us. We are looking at the options….and thought you could just do it all!
Keep in touch. Have a great time down South. If you are in Dunedin, and fancy a trip to the University, a certain Scottish Professor of Respiratory Medicine called Robin Taylor, ( from Perth Scotland)is a good friend of mine, and would love to meet you two I’m sure. Just mention my name!

Well………. about time Jason. I hope you had to properly kneel and beg before Claire said ‘yes’. Just kidding… you two are a match made in ‘New Zelanad’. Fantastic news and we are soooooooooooo happy for you guys. You should have seen me when I first opened the blog to see little Amy on top and was thinking to myself……’that was quick’ LOL.

I assume the proposal had something to do with the high altitude and lack of oxygen to the brain…still he can’t take it back now. Delighted for you both and looking forward to welcoming jase to the family when you get back. Lots of love Brian and family.

At last a response from Ros in the Borders. Your blog has been fantastic and sorry for tardiness. Ron is laid up with high temperature and feeling grim but the PC of the Skyline trip of the 4 of you cheered him up. Jenny sends her love too and we have NZ on our list once the Oz trip is paid off!

Had typed a big reply for your blog, and didn’t do it right so I have lost it, basically, I am jealous, I cannot bear to speak to you both, it all looks too relaxing, weather mince, blizzards and 80mph winds, meningitis hit Lanarkshire, glad you are away from all that fish chat and nice looking steak there!!! Fed up, skint, got SAD, also got visa bill, ugh, let me know when you want work as I will prostitute myself for you, other than that have some more fun and wind me up some more!!! Only kidding, missing you loads, get yer asses back here!

Fascinating Blogs. Please come back to Britain. The weather is atrocious here as well. We have the photo of you Cherry and Michael on our Rogues Gallery now. Much love to you all Gwen & Peter & Jady.

Gillian Foo
Glad to see that Claire was able to recover from the very frigid waters with a nice blood-red steak (and Jason–lamb?), and both of you with big goblets of red wine. Quite the life—we should try to replicate it here. However, you guys are looking a little thinner in this blog compared to the previous several—working too hard? Any chance you might stop by over in this old New World? Let me know your travel plans. Will you stop by to visit Porps again? Love, A. Gilli
30 Jan 2024
Ali
Brilliant to see that you guys are still having a cracking bit of time out there. We’ve really missed you loads on our recent trip to the Borders and are looking forward to seeing you soon (if you’ll ever come back). Oh.. and all that talk about water is making me want to nip to the loo now! enjoy the rest of the journey and keep the nice pics coming. take care.

Hey you guys! That looks totally fab! So impressed with your sky dive- I wanted to do that when I was out there and then ended up that the weather put a halt to it! Take care, hope you have the most lovely Christmas and New Year. I’ve landed a most disappointing 4 12hr day stretch spanning the entirity of Christmas- gutted. Off New Year though, so thats good!

The skydiving looked like great fun but it must have been a bit scary just before you jumped!! Well, its freezing in Glasgow so you’re lucky to still be in the sunshine…The shops are crazy at the moment with people doing last minute shopping. I’m going home on Friday so looking forward to that. I hope you both have a lovely Christmas there and New Year. Take care.

Oh my does it look fantastic! All that wine, and not one mention of fish, I am really enjoying this journey of yours. Weather here – ach, you know Scotland in the winter, jumping from semi mild (11 degrees) to around minus 4, and in between, the fantastic dreichness and drizzle!

Hi Jase and Claire,It looks glorious over there. Great photography by the way (I bet Jase took all the arty shots).It’s freezing over here. There’s ice on puddles that hasn’t thawed all day. I’ve just stuffed a car rug up along the patio doors to keep the icy blast out. Brrr.It sounds like you’ve settled into life and work over there. Keep enjoying yourselves too!All the best,
John

Sinead
HI there Claire and Jason,
Looks like you guys are continuing to have a fab time – it all just looks so beautiful. Today the skies above Glasgow are also clear but bloody baltic – enjoy the NZ climate while you can (at least you had the wit to arrive as it comes in to summer – I went to Oz during their winter – not so smart really!
Life here is good – unlike Fiona however, i have absolutely NO crimbo shopping yet – tell her to get in touch with me – i need some sensible advice!!

Hope you are settling into the working pattern, only news I have is that Santosh and wife had a BOY – how cool? Oh, Claire – CRIMBO SHOPPING ALL DONE – yipee, hooray for the internet by the way, only have to go to ONE shop, amazing eh? And if my usual standards are kept up, I will avoid food shopping too, so no messing with mad people except at work. Anyway, enuff about me, you two take care, speak to you soon babe. XXX

Hello Jason and Claire:NZ looks wonderful and I am really enjoying your travel blog. The big question I have, however,is whether—with all this sightseeing, food and wine—-there is any medicine (both interesting and routine) being practiced over there! Thanksgiving tomorrow in America. Matt’s back. We are doing okay. Auntie L in Silver Spring with Nick et al. Have yet to meet up. Keep blogging.Love to both of you. Auntie G

Hey you two, good to talk to you yesterday, altho you are probably bankrupt by now! Looks fantastic, I trust that the food would suit me more here, what is the fascination with all things from the sea? Doesn’t the world appreciate pollution? Anyway, trying to gear myself for an A&E shift today, you will already have finished your Monday by now. It’s minus 4 just now, but going to be a lovely sunny day, is the weather okay there? Take care and I will phone you soon. XXX

Still the schools are back thus traffic is shocking, don’t they know that I am on the road with a place to go??? There is absolutely nothing so far that you have described that I would eat, I moving over there as soon as I can, might be the only way to lose some weight, otherwise it sounds fab, take care you two, wishing I was there or you were here!

Hey guys. great to see that you are enjoying it. Jason, you look great amongst the birds!! and if worried about losing your bodily charm from all the food and getting the urge to exercise then just do what I do: just lie on the sofa until this urge passes you by. wish we were with you and our offer to join you guys still stands. Just provide the tickets and leave the rest to us.

Strange. I set up this google desktop and got RSS feeds, including your travel blog. No idea how it finds them. We had a good relaxing trip to Budapest. Interesting comment above about the family looking friendly. How did jase get his ass bit? I bet he was giving her advice on how do dress her kennel. Bronwyn is well scary, she can stare me out easy. HOw is that big softie olga?
