Jo Hey Baz and Lau, hope you're both well? 2 things- 1) loved the post card 2) when I sorted through the bag you sent home with Jim I expected hidden marvels, presents or at least a note... nothing. Just your dirty washing. Not happy. take care Xxxxxxxx

John & Em Hey lors its sunday 3rd August but you wouldn't believe it - its raining - again ! Been having a read and a catch up with all you been up to - can't believe you have done half the things you say you have - OMG - I would be useless. I have had countless fits on holiday thanks to my best friend the wasp. Could you imagine ??!! Have had a lovely holiday and the kids had a great time. On the beach one day gong-gong told libby that if she dug far enough into the sand she would reach the other side of the world and find lor-lors. Her little face was a picture and she proceeded to dig frantically. Gong-Gong then had to retract that statement very carefully !! We will send you some pics soon. It sounds like you are having a fantastic journey and an amazing experience ! We miss you and love you millions geek ! x x x

Mum Hello Bobby and L, believe it or not this is the 3rd time I have left you a message (didn't realise that you had to do the stupid sum) hopefully this one will work (MUm is doing it!). You seem to be having a fantastic time and I wish we could be with you - but not climbing the harbour ladder up the mountain! If you have not get sun burned yet you have been doing too much drinking and not seeing enough sun, the symptom is easy to spot, you will be a pale white colour and have a permanent hangover - the cure is to get out in the sun more and don't drink as much. Will report to you in the next 24 hours after sea trials tomorrow in Taiwan. Love you lots and miss you loads, Dad xxx

mum Hi to you both Hope all is still going well and that you are seeing all the sights! Sam is now home, Becky has finished her 'A's, Rich and Alex have moved into their new home and Dad and I are off to Taiwan for sea trials at the end of the week. Keep in touch, Love to both of you xxx

Paul and Melissa Hey Laura and Carrie, Hope you're having an amazing time (looks like you are) jealous you went to a boca game. We are currently eating birthday cake for Melissa's birthday. The bands going well, signed a record deal and got played on radio 1 by jo whiley. The singles out in August on the 4th. Enjoy Peru and eat plenty of marmalade sandwiches (paddington bear reference incase you think I'm being weird). Lots of Love (woof) Paul and Melissa (and Lucy)
