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

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

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)
