On Friday 28th March, Louise and Matt were married in the gardens of her family home at Mt Huia. The weather was beautiful, probably the hottest day we have had so far. Louise looked beautiful and Matt looked wonderful. I have managed (at last) to post a picture of the bride and groom!!
Charles and Henry handed out the order of services and Emma was the ring bearer. She was meant to hold the ring on a cushion and take it up on her own, but it ended up with her hanging on to my leg with her head buried in my skirt and we both took it up! Everyone said that she looked really cute though.
We are staying here for one more night (Sunday 30th) and then in the morning we are off to Wellington.
You will all be pleased to know that it is RAINING here today!! No snow though........
Hope you are all well.

Hi everyone!
I am having a fantastic time in New Zealand. On Friday it was our friends Louise and Matts wedding. It was very nice. Today we are going to play cricket even though I'm not that good! I have been on a quadbike lots of times and twice on a motorbike. And I can tell you, they go fast! Everyday we have been here, it has been sunny. But today it is raining a little bit. Hope everything is going well in England. Miss you all, and see you in two weeks.
love Charles

Hello everybody!
I am having a great time in New Zealand. I am having lots of fun. I have been on the quadbike and I know how to drive it, but my dad has to do the gears! There are seven dogs where I am staying at the moment. They are called Jessie, Queen, Mop, Bonnie, Millie, Jude and Mouse.
I miss you all, see you later.
