Hi Tony,
Just wanted to say what a great time I had there over the weekend…..it was certainly nice to get away from the madness of London. Was also lovely spending time with your two lovely dogs Ben and Trudy…..definitely helped my homesickness and missing my own dog back home!!!!!!!
I definitely would love to get recipes for the soup, thai curry and omg that cake…..that was definitely the most amazing cake ive had in a while!!!!!
I know Alisha and I would love to visit again…..thanks again and love to hear from you soon…..

HI Tony,
Thanks for the email and for looking after us so well.
It was a great weekend and I know everyone thoroughly enjoyed it.
Good luck with it all. You’ve got a great set up and I shall certainly be forwarding your details to several friends.
Best wishes,
Andrew
Tony,
Leanne and I (Dan & Danny also) had an amazing time. Thank you so much for
everything, the natural energy and genuine interest in people you have really
helped everyone feel comfortable and happy. We had told Dan what a great
weekend it would be, but it surpassed even our own expectations.
Take care and see you soon
Chris
Hi Tony,
Just wanted to THANK YOU once again for a great weekend!
It was definately one for the memory bank, and I have loads of photos to add to
the albums!
have some great photos of the lovely mountains and horses.
Ill send through a few good shots this week, although some show quite a lively
party!
I hope there wasnt a great deal to tidy up after us.
I hope you enjoyed yourself as much as we did!
see you on face book
Ill definately try to fit another trip in, possibly winter with a chance of
seeing snow.
Thanks again,
Elyse
Hey Guys!
It was so great to meet you all on the weekend.
We were thinking on the way home, that is must be really strange for the bus
driver to see us on Friday night, all timid and quiet to each other… and then
when he comes to pick us up less that 48 hours later… we are all hugging each
other goodbye and laughing!
Thanks for the email Tony - we miss Trudy and Ben
already (and you and your cooking too, of course)! Good luck with your New
Zealand plans, let us know on your website if/when you do leave and what you
plan to set up over there. That way, we can organise a trip over to NZ once
we go home to Australia!
Niza - Good luck with your exam(s) - you'll make
it this time 'round. ;)
Josh - We hope you land that ideal IT job so that
drinks REALLY are on you next time! Also - we found some 'tool' music on our
laptop...
Alison - Have lots of fun on the rest of your
travels. We are proud of you for surviving a weekend with 6 crazy Aussies
(and a pretty bad fall off of a moving horse). :)
Jane - Keep those little mongrels in line, and
keep up the 'football' / soccer practice and all of your extensive travelling!
Rob - We have evidence of your pleasure while
getting Trudy to root/hump/pump Ben. Remember that we may need to bribe you
in the future with these photos if we ever run short of funds.
If any of you want to catch up in London, we'd
love to see you all again. There is a fantastic and cheap Mexican place near
us (not that it will beat Tony's cooking) that is always good for a big feed
and sangrias. We live right near the Clapham North tube station - or you can
contact us on:
Tony
Thanks for such a great weekend, I did not want to come back to London. The
body is still a bit sore and stiff and it was a struggle at work today - the
eyes may have shut briefly while I was staring at my computer!! The weekend
will definitely go down as one of my best ever and am hoping to get back there
before I fly home at the end of the year. I will send through some photos when
I get them organised and on Facebook. Thanks again and give Trudy and Ben a
big hug from me.
Jane
Hi Anthony
Thank you for a great weekend. You are going to have to start sending girls
home with a diet plan, the food was so good, but my clothes aren't fitting
so well any more.
Saying that I would love to try and reproduce some of your wonders. Could
you please send me your butter squash soup, thai curry and pizza dough
recipe. Us girls have been raving about the food, and now the boys want to
know what all the fuss is about....We'll have to bring them along next time
so they can see what it is all about.
Hope to see you again soon...
Best Regards
Tracey

Hey Tony,
Thanks for all
you did for us the other weekend. I came back more relaxed than I have in a
long time! Got to be that hot tub.
I noticed you
wouldn’t mind offering up a recipe or two. Is there any chance I can get the
Thai curry recipe you made for us all on the Saturday night. That was
amazing.
Cheers
Nathan
hiya Tony
Just really wanted to say thanks for a great trip, we all had a ball and will truly be remembered as one of my best birthdays ever,
and what a cake, I still don't believe you made it haha!! All my flatmates are still complaining about their sore ass's.
all the best for the future cheers Shannon, Ben and the rest of the posse.xx
Hi Tony
thanks so much for a great weekend. i can honestly say we all had a great
time. We decided that you would be the best chef we know!!!! It was great
to be out of the city and just chill out in the country side. You will have
to make sure you send me those recipes so i can see if i come close to making
it like you did!!
well best be going thanks again.
Alanna, Anissa and Emma
hey tony,
Hi all,
G'day Tony,
Thanks for the group e-mail. We can't stop talking about how good the trip was
and partly becasue of your hospitality. The food was unbelieveable and the
atmosphere was welcoming. Your dogs were unreal and would like to say thank
you again for the trip. It wouldnt have been that great without ur friendly,
down-to-earth service.
I know Troy e-mailed you about the receipes. I was wondering if it is not too
much trouble if i can have the cake receipe that u made for Gem. It was
sensational. Undoubtably the best cake I have eaten.
Thanks again for an unreal weekend. Tanya and Kathryn also enjoyed it. It was
a perfect ending to Tanya London trip before she heads back to Oz.
Speak soon mate,
Mark
P.S My ass is still hurting...
Hi Tony,
Thanks sooooo much for having us. Your hospitality was amazing, your food was
amazing, you are amazing and your whole bushwakkers experience is amazing!
We had a ball and we're already talking about coming back and doing it again
for my birthday we loved it that much and I'll definately be recoommending
this to other people.
we had an awesome time all the best for the new year, we'll be in touch.
Cheers
Keira
P.S. Can I please have the recipe for your tomato soup when you have chance
and sorry about the mess we left behind (mud).
Hi Tony,
It was a great weekend, had the best time and the food was the delicious, we
couldn't stop talking about that cake!
Thanks for everything! Amber
Hey... thanks for the email!...
I had a lovely weekend... even though i fell off a horse!! hehe!
I was wondering if you would be able to send me the recipe for the soup...it
was the best!
Thanks for the Pancakes too!!! hehe!!!
i will be getting my pictures later this evening... so they will be fun to
look through!!!
Bet you are looking forward to the new group coming down on the weekend!!
Thanks
Mel
Hi Tony
Hi Tony
On behalf of Gerard and I, I just wanted
to thank you again for a brilliant weekend. The horse riding was just fantastic
and the scenery stunning – although I don't think I've ever been so sore!! Oh
and that Jacuzzi was just what the doctor ordered!! And not to mention your
outstanding cooking, what a treat, my favourite was your pumpkin soup – would
you mind sending us the recipe…? I can see ourselves serving that up in the
chalet after a hard day's skiing – and we'd most definitely give you credit for
it and recommend your trip to our guests!! So thanks once again Tony and best
of luck with everything.
Leah and Gerard.
PS we'll send some photos around once we've uploaded them tonight x
G'day Chef!
Thank you again for a thoroughly awesome weekend.
I know I am not the first and will not be the last to say this, but you are a
splendiferous host (ok, I may well be the first to say 'splendiferous').
Thank you for making me and my friends feel so welcome and so at home on your
property. We had a really great time.
Attached (if I can master the technology) are LOTS of photos and a couple of
videos from our weekend. Use whatever you like. Hope some are of use to you.
Cheers, big ears!
Katie
PS: I'd love the recipe for your Cock-a-leekie soup when you have time to send
it. No rush.
PPS: The videos are refusing to comply! Will try to send them in a separate
email next!

Howdy Tony,
Well that was certainly a lovely email from you! I had SUCH a great weekend - the riding was up there with the best I've ever done, the food was incredible, the hot tub served to ease my aching butt muscles and the company was fabulous. I'm glad you consider our group one of the more memorable ones, as I think it really was.
And all the best for your move to the Land of Kiwis, I have a feeling you'll do very well down there!! Plus I'll be looking you up when I lose my mind and decide to go bungee jumping.....
Good luck with quitting smoking too. I'm on my last 35 days...
