Honeymoon

We had a great honey moon in the Basque region of France and Spain and in the French Pyrenees! Here are some pics.


Tony pouring himself a cider in the sidereria in Spain. Lots of splashing involved and the objective is to get a frothy glass of potent cider!



























































Lots of yummy food as you can see!

We also managed to do some skiing in Cauterets in France



Soaking up the sun!












































On the last day we went on a hike down the mountain - beautiful!

Gift List

Su Fei and Tony’s Gift List

Important note about delivery
If you are thinking of buying us a gift please note we would be grateful if it could be delivered to Australia instead of brought to the wedding in the UK. Luggage restrictions on flights to/from Australia and customs charges mean that we are limited in our ability to bring back gifts.

Delivery address: We are away from April 1 to 30, first in Sheffield and then on a honeymoon! Due to the fact that we are away please use the delivery address below so your gift will be kept safe until we return to Sydney.

Charities

Makeni Support Fund
As some of you may know Jonathan and Delia Kay (Tony’s parents) have been working as volunteers in Makeni, Sierra Leone. During their time in Makeni they have noticed that access to clean water is a big problem for many of the people they are working with. Without a clean water source nearby, women and children have to walk far distances and wait in long queues for water to meet the basic necessities of cooking, drinking, washing, and hygiene.

Jonathan and Delia are raising money to sink 3 boreholes (deep wells) in Makeni for the university where they are working, a school for deaf children and a 55 bed hospital. They have raised £32,000 so far but are still short of their goal of £36,000. If you would like to contribute to the borehole project as a wedding gift to us, we would be very grateful. Please send any donations to:

Bob Lyons
80 Dobcroft Road
Sheffield
S7 2LS
United Kingdom

Cheques should be made payable to the "Makeni Support Fund". And if you want more information please contact Jonathan or Delia
delia_m_kay@hotmail.com.


If you do decide to donate to the Makeni Support Fund please send us a card telling us so that we can thank you.

Cancer Research
As some of you may know Su Fei’s stepmother Jenny Vandenburg-Tan passed away in April 2009 as a result of lung cancer. Jenny was only 52 years old. Many of our friends and relatives have also suffered from or have lost loved ones to cancer. Your donations to cancer research to help find a cure for this disease are very welcome.

In Canada please donate to the Canadian Cancer Society:

In the UK please donate to Cancer Research UK:
http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/


If you do decide to donate to Cancer Research please send us a card telling us so that we can thank you.
