Hello Tony,
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 for the emails - just wanted to say thanks for a really lovely
weekend - it was an absolute pleasure to stay with you and your lovely
dogs! The riding was fab and the food and company was great.. what more
can I say!
I will look for you on facebook and have already told several people
about bushwakkers so am sure will be back at some point!
All the best,
Sarah :)
Hi Tony,
Thanks for a great wknd!!! It was really relaxing and very tasty food
(although was a bit stiff after the horse riding) but great to see
some nice scenary again. I think most of of are now keeping in touch
and Georgine is already planning our next trip together!
Hope you're wknds are kept busy
Laura
Hi Tony,
How are you? Thanks again for a great weekend, it really was the right
decision for me to go and you were so lovely throughout, I think you'll
do brilliantly in hospitality wherever you go - everybody and everybody
has heard about your amazing food.
So I'm back to the grind in this rabbit hole that is London, but
plotting my next getaway already.
I hope your weeks going well so far!
If you have a chance could you send me the names of those artists you
were playing on saturday night, that was too funny and say hi to Luke.
be good,
speak soon,
Elaine

Hi All!
Britt and I couldn't agree more with all the comments the group has
posted. We had a fantastic time and are certainly looking forward to
more adventures with everyone.
Tony, first class food and first class hospitality! What more could we
want! Thanks heaps.
Sorry to hear about your camera Lorraine. I should have ours and Jo's
so I'll try and burn them to a disc for you.
All the best and go United!
Glen & Britt Hewitt

I think we speak on everyones behalf that we all had an awesome time.
You are an amazing chef - too many tastes to mention but the soup, the
boerie and the dom pedro are classics! I hope you dont mind if we tell
all our friends about bushwakkers.

ps, the dueling guitar is being practiced daily ;)
Hi Tony
Thank you to you for a fabulous weekend. Yes, wet but that's all part
of the experience hey. I have been meaning to phone you but work has
been crazy, I double checked my account and there was definitely £160
taken out of it when I initially booked.
Thanks again for looking after us so well. Your food is definitely
being longed for..... Hopefully next time we will have glorious
sunshine.
Siobhain
Hey Tony,
It really was a brilliant weekend. Thank you so much, you are very good
at what you do. I felt quite sad on the way home knowing it was all
over!
Caro is going to get the Facebook group up and running soon. We will
certainly be recommending the trip to anyone and everyone. You deserve
to do really well.
All the best,
Leah.
Hey Tony hows it going, just really wanted to say thank you for giving us a great time over the Bank holiday, it was a truly excellent weekend, we all had a great time, what a lifestyle you have ? loved the food the dogs and the fab weather.

Hi Tony,
Clare here, Chief washer upper!!! We all had a fantastic time and I
thoroughly enjoyed my weekend. I can't get over how amazing the food
was. All in all, a well planned weekend that was chilled and relaxed as
well as fun and interesting.
I don't think anyone noticed your mood and we all really enjoyed the
weekend!
I have recommended it to all work people and friends. I hope everything
works out for you, Ben and Trudy! Good luck and keep in touch.
Thanks again,
Clare
Ps: Will send pics soon, got a good group one.
PPS: Still wish I smuggled Trudy home with us, loved both Dogs!
Enjoy and relax! happy Easter xxClare

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
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,
Well all of us are still raving about what a great weekend we had at your place - thanks so much for all your effort, was so great to have a wonderful weekend away.
Can you possibly send me the recipe for the baked alaska, everyone is dyeing to try it :-)
Hi Tony,
Thanks for the email - we appreciate the apoplogy for the horse riding,
but of course it wasn't your fault and didn't at all reflect on your
hospitality. We all had a great time, Saturday night of course was
particulaly fun and has started a jenga obsesssion! HOpefully you are
able to have some guests this weekend, although with the weather it is
doubtful - we were unable to make it to school on Monday and Tuesday and
it's supposed to continue next week!
Thanks very much for everything and if we make it to Wales again we'll
take you up on your kind discount!
Cheers,
Lauren (Bushwakkers note)
this trip was disrupted by a fox hunt, its never happened before and
wont again.

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

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

Hi Tony

great time. We decided that you would be the best chef we know!!!!

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!

Cheers Karen

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...
