Hi girls,

BA sounds amazing and I'm glad you had some time to see the sights before the hard work begins.  All the best with your teaching - at least you have lots to talk about - you always can tell stories about Lola if all else fails.  I would say just be confident and smile a lot - smiles are a language universally understood!!

All is well with James and I. We have painted the nursery (bright yellow), assembled the cot, and it's starting to look really good.

Bye for now, love Joanne x x

Hi girls

Still drinking! As to the teaching, Jason obviously survived the ordeal so you will too. You have to take charge - Becki is bossy enough - I can't say about Jen. Now that you have taken to graveyards with streets you will have to visit Highgate cemetary where you will find similar streets of grave houses. I don't know why we have to complete a sum to send the blog but we will all be improving our mathematical skills.

Go on enjoying yourselves.

 Love Gran

As usual excellent photography by the experts and Michael Palin has got some competition with the sights you have all seen. Becky's avocado salad made so hungry we had to go and cook dinner. Glad to catch up with the 3 of you. Lots of love Mum and Derek

Hi Girls

Goodbye to Sam, I hope you have a good flight home. Becki and Jen, your adventure continues. I enjoyed your blog from Chile although you sounded a bit like alkies. You have all been very adventurous and are having the holiday of a lifetime. Love to you both. Gran

We think you are all amazing and we are so impressed with your adventurous spirit, cooking and driving skills! Safe travelling to Jen and beck in South america and good luck to Sam on the final leg of her journey. xxx luv Mum

Hey girls!!!
Definatly loving those photos! I can't believe you have been gone for three months already - it seems to have gone so quickly. Looking sexy in those hats I must say, but hey if its for free chocolate! 
Jen and becki you do make the perfect cowgirl/boy couple if i ever saw one! (Nick and Mike must be jealous!) All these photos of new zealand are making me extremely excited - only 5 weeks till we go now. 
Hope you have fun in south america and that you do to in LA (sam)! 
Ill take that tip of not drinking and flying with me i think :)
Take care, speak soon 
Lots of Love xxxxxx

Hi Girls

 I thought you looked very fetching in your plastic hats. If the law gets boring you could always find work at The Vic pulling pints.

Have good flights and hear from you again from Chile and LA.

 Stay safe. Love Gran Cooper 

Sorry for the essay!!!

Oh my god  

You're definitely braver than I am - skydiving?!?! What were you thinking?!?! Mental. Still, looks amazing.

I have to say I would've enjoyed the glacier walk more. Very impressive and beautiful. You three are very lucky.

Saw Nick for lunck on Fri was lovely. Look forward to him being in third year when we're doctors and can take him out!  Missed him lots (but not as much as I miss you, obviously!)

Just been down south for my sisters 30th, was lovely, lots of people including Mum and Charles and my pregnant ex not quite step sister and Grandma etc! Charles is trying to walk now and is only content when being led around wherever we are hanging onto our fingers and wobbling all over the place!

Si's handed in his dissertation now and only has exams standing in the way of his PGCE.

Cant wait to live with you again next year - and with Cat around the corner too.

Love you loads,

Luce

I am so glad I didn't know about the skydiving before! It all sounds amazing and we can't believe you are doing all this brave and dangerous things Jen! the big wheel will be nothing from now on. Had a lovely time looking after Luke.saw Dad and Lynda in homebase as we were all going to enjoy the SUNSHINE. love mum

Hiya!  My goodness, how much can you pack in to a few days??!!  Jen, I can't get over the amount of walking your have voluntarily undertaken!  Can't believe you did a sky dive - how scary.  Lola looks great, pleased to see you're keeping her nice and clean!

Luke's off for the night to Dad and Cher's again tonight - yippee!  We're going out together!

Take care all of you,

Love us xxx

Hi girls

Your journey up the iceberg frightened me to death even though I am safe in the English spring. I'm so pleased you are having such a wonderful time. Sorry about the empty message I just made a mistake.

Love Gran
