Hi you 2

Glad you had a lovely time with Alex and Terence - was a shame we couldn't have been with you for an anniversary gathering of bride and bridesmaids!

Don't think you've missed much not seeing the pickled people ... urgh! We resisted that sight too!

All well here - looking forward to the weekend!

Take care,

Hi, its me again! (sorry)
Just to clarify... Its not that I don't normally like Mutti's roast potatoes, its more that I'm not a fan of spuds, in general. However, if I was to consume some then, of course, Mutti's would be my first choice!
Byeee! c x

p.s. Have you seen `the Towers'? c x

HELLO Danny and Bethy!!
Thanks for the wonderful postcard :-) It brought a smile to my rain-soaked, ldn-pollution-breathing face. Ah... (in the words of Madge) "H-O-L-I-D-A-Y!"... what's that again?...
And did I hear presents? Ooh! What could they possibly be?... Nothing too heavy/bulky,... Nothing too expensive... Hmm... As long as its not of the canine variety!
Mat and I are off to portugal soon. Sadly though, its mostly for work, not play. I've got a conference out there but as its bank holiday we plan to make a long weekend of it. Maybe we'll see some sunshine, possibly eat an ica-crema (or two, or three, or...).
Via the magic of stalkbook I see you've been tucking into Frosties and sipping builders Danny! Whenever Mat and I were travelling, I'd have dreams about Mutti's roast potatoes. No kidding! (and I can take 'em or leave 'em normally). What are you missing Bethy? Or no foodstuffs perhaps? (probably warm water, feeling `clean', a bath tub,...). Maybe its just another symptom of the routine-loving, uncomfortable-with-change Thorney in us Danny?!
Take care peeps (and remember, `Don't Eat Pork!').
Chat soon, Oodles (not noodles!) of love, c x

Hi Dan & Beth,

Sorry I didn't get chance to back to you sooner some of us are slaving away in the Office answering PQ's!! Have not managed to run into any desks so far. Glad you are enjoying Beijing went there at Xmas time was a really good experience but like u guys found language being the main barrier. Will wait for your next blogs!!

Hello! Great pictures you two, and i have to agree with Nia the one of Beth taking a plunge then Dan
shortly after is a corker! Obviously the elephant didnt
want to play that
day!

Your both looking well anyway, a little on the skinny side perhaps! Hello to you Aunty Jan
and Uncle Ked hope you are well too.

Take care Beth and Dan, stay safe and eat some fat
boy burgers or
something would you, or whatever heart stopping food they sell out there, with millions of calories because you sure look like your burning some!! Your both waisting
away!! I will speak to you again soon, stay safe i will keep you a beer by my pool! x x x x x x x x x

Hi Dan and Beth, Pauline and her mad bunch here!! just visiting your mum so got the chance to say "hello" to you both, hope you are both well sounds like your having a wonderful time (i'm not jealous at all!)... look after each other and dont forget about us, sending all our love P xxx

Ni hao, Beth and Dan, chi chi ( sounds like it) thanks for the great photo's of your travels. Uncle Ray keeps Mom and Dad updated on the phone about your travels. I have shown them your blogs and photos. They wish you well. Keep safe and have fun.

Hello Dan (& Beth) it sounds a wonderful trip. I can only boast 5 days in Minehead plus 10 of lazing around at home in Essex as a summer holiday this year. I've just taken advantage of a quiet spell at the office to go through 3 months of your blogs. India sounds much as I remember it from 5 months ago. China sounds as if it has changed a lot though I was there only for 8 days in 1988, but managed to visit both Beijing & Xian. I didn't walk much of the Great Wall but almost got arrested on it (for smoking)! Hope you are surviving the diet and the insect bites. Look forward to seeing you when you return. Trevor

Hi there Beth and Dan, Sorry we have not received any e mails from you in China maybe the wire got bent!! Glad to know you are still enjoying the experience. Have you had a Chineese take away? Some news for you hot off my text messages - Phillip and Sam have got engaged!! so a wedding to look forward to in the future. Nia's learning Welsh in Aber, and we are off to Portugal next week but will keep in touch as they do have computers there!! cariad mawr M & D

It's no a ruse Claire, Bryce wrote on blog at the beginning of Dan and Beth's adventures i think he might live in Australia or New Zealand. He had some good tales to tell as well, then we didn't hear from him for a while we missed him as well as Dan and Beth cos he played a big part in blog. Anyway he's back now, welcome back Bryce. Dan and Beth keep your stories coming in too it's lovely seeing your faces on photo's makes us feel happy. Take care love mum and dad xxxxx

p.p.s. Who the hell is Bryce? I thought he was fictitious but it turns out he's posted a message. Aha! Its a ruse. Clever.
