Good to hear your latest news, we have been following your progress via the old codger in Guildford! Get some photos on so we can see the brilliant places you are visiting. Have you got a flat organised yet? we are all doing great, working and playing hard as usual. Finlay is busy building a workshop, nearly done so Gregor and his dad spend a lot of time there. Just had half term and Ioni spent the week with your mum and dad in Braemar, she had a ball. Katie is her usual madame self, you'll know what I mean! Work is busy, Rachel is leaving next week to go back to Australia and we also have a new Australian working with us. So we seem to be helping all these travellers the other way round.Tonight we are having a leaving party, an Australian/Scotland fancy dress do, my plan is to go as Dame Edna Everage still to get my costume sorted, Granny is going as Kylie Minogue! Better sign off and get my outfit organised, keep the updates coming. x

Hi there, sorry have been silent for a while. Reading your blog while sitting in the office.. how depressing ! Ah well... sounds like you are having a ball. Enjoy the barrier reef, it is an amazing place. xx MC

Just read your update from a cold and rainey twickenham as I start my week's work! Hope you have a fantastic time therre-I know we did-loved Queensland. Claude has always wanted to sky-dive-me I'm not so sure....did you have much training? We are looking forward to going to France soon loads of love and huge hugs to you & Alison, Claude & Jenny

I dont think Finlay has been having as many sleepless nights as your Grandad worrying about you, but even we were beginning to wonder. However Shona updated us at the weekend. Very glad to see the photos of you and Alison still alive together, and no black eyes, only joking.Just returned from a few days in Braemar at the junior highland games, once again a great time had by all. Lots of medals for the kids but Rosie only got a 3rd in the waggiest tail, shes a bit upset. Keep in touch when you get to Aus and NZ we have loads of contacts, I have the only 2 australians it seems in West Lothian working at Mavor&Co!

An end to our sleepless nights worrying about you. We thought perhaps he has run off with a beautiful Vietnamese girl and we were not invited to the wedding......or is he lost in the jungle and should we organise a search party ? What ever brought about the great void is a mystery, but we are pleased to learn that you are back in circulation. We have just returned from a few days in Braemar where we met up with Pat, Finlay and the family - - we went swimming in the Lewi (?) and enjoued a picnic by the river. Paul, Julie and the family leave for Portugal on wednesday for a 3 week holiday in the Algarve. Lucky them!. On saturday we are off to Newcastle for the Graduation - Lynz has done very well. Perhaps you and Alison will remember to send her an congratualatory email. Be sure to keep in touch and to keep us informed on your next adventure. Love Gran and Grandad

Finally a blog update. I thought you had been aducted by aliens!!! Clearly not, you were just enjoying the high life in Singapore. Great photos and I am sure great memories. Keep blogging.

Ali,

Good to hear from you again, at last ! I kept asking your dad how you were doing as we had not heard from you for ages.... Have the girls arrived safely ?

All is well in London. It is the summer now ! We are bracing ourselves for Ascot on Friday. If it is anything like last year, Saturday will be a slow day....

Keep well and mind the motorbikes !!!
