..I love hearing about your travel plans and would like to chat more about them sometimes if you have time, you're such a traveller and wanderer Ben and I love that you follow your dreams always/as much as any of us can...did you ever carry on with your novel btw..?..because you are a writer as well and I hope that will be something in your future also, if not right for you atm with work etc and maybe not having the time...anyways just for now, I have work and somewhere to be so sadly haven't got much time but I'd like to talk more when our worlds collide a bit better and hear more about your plans...you have a good day my travelling guy.....

..oh really..?....hmmm, now here's me thinking that if that was ever something that you would consider, it would be Oz that you would choose...so that's interesting because I never got the same vibe from you that you had a real affinity with NZ as you did with Australia...do you think that was because you were so much younger when you went to OZ, so almost like a 'first love'..?...what do you plan to do there/work in the tourist industry..?..that would be a real asset to them, your knowledge not only of places you've travelled to but also obviously of the UK....and hai/.....

i didn't realise there'd only been one series of the mole since I won it (three years ago!!!!!!)

Hi Benjamin, yes Rammstein are the best. I like Aerosmith and metallica too. Mind you I also like some country and western and some opera. Only stuff I cannot stand is rap.

..yeah I will send her all of your hugging and loving...are you back at work now, do you have anymore trips planned for this year..?...

gotta love a bit of orangu
