Happy Birthday Eric and welcome home. (wherever that may be).

Did you have to bring the Antartic, Toronto and New York weather with you?

Love Pam and Jim xx

Hey Maggie, I am so sorry I missed you when you and your hubby came to Canada. I would of loved to see, living up North and having a little one it was kind of tough for me to get to Lorna's. It has been so so long. I still have very fond memories of you and the family when Mom took me to Scotland. Linda told me what you guys have been doing with yourselves and all I can say is WOW. That is so awesome. That is a dream come true.

Please say hello to everyone for me. I send my wishes to everyone.

Take care. I wish you both all the health and happiness along your travels.

Love Jeanne

Sorry for the belated New Year greetings but I thought I had e-mailed you but we lost a lot of our old sent e-mails so no idea if we did wish you a happy new year. But we are now! Just been catching up with all your photos. Some of the Antarctic ones are really impressive. I might pinch some of your NZ ones cos some of mine weren't that great. We had Ian stay with us for a night just before Xmas on his way to Montrose to pick up his mum to take back to Wales. It was not much of a night for him because I was really ill as I had caught labyrinthitis. Never been so sick in a long time, thankfully it stopped after the doc gave me an injection but was off work for a week. I phoned Ian at Xmas and he said he had gone on a pub crawl on his own in Montose. He started at the Lochside and worked his way into town. He said the only one worth visiting was the Northern Vaults although I think its called something else now. I think he fancies me going to Montrose with him sometime as it is now 5 years since I went up with him. We bored him with all the Aussie/NZ photos. Joan fancies going back to Toronto as long as we don't stay in Chinatown like last time. We will no doubt hear from you when you return. Are you having a returning home party? Bye for now.

Loved reading your blog and looking at your pictures! Hope your travels continue to be safe!

Happy New Year. Hope you had a good night.

We had friends over last night and had a good time , nearly missed seeing the New Year in though as we was too busy gassing!!

I'm just off for a run (I've got weight to lose for a wedding!!)and then off to friends for drinks and nibbles this afternoon.

Speak soon

Hiya, Just dropping you a line to wish you both a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS.

We have not long been in from our yearly trip to Harrods to see the man in red. We then went on for dinner with some friends and their little one down on the embankemnet. Tomorrow we are off to Mum and Dads for few days to all spend Christmas together. In the afternoon we are leaving Izzy with mum and dad whilst rob and I take hannah off to wimbledon theatre to see Cinderella Panto. She doesn't know we are going yet but we know she will be very excited.

Hannah very excited about christmas generally as all children are. She has been counting down the days for weeks and weeks and weeks......... Izzy no idea its her first special christmas but is loving all the trees, light and baubles!!

Anyway really looking forward to catching up properly when we see you in person next month.

Looking forward to hearing all about the "Cruise".

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Lots of Love
