Hey guys - Happy New Year!!! We raised a glass (several actually then I lost count) to you on NYE although it wasn't as eventful as your evening by the sounds of it! Kerala was brill and I'm thoroughly depressed to be home so please keep the updates coming, it's the only thing keeping me going at the moment. Him indoors is green with envy that you're in Laos, I'll never hear the last of this! Anyway, enjoy 'Nam and remember to cross the road slowly! Love Di xx

Hi you too. loved your latest update.....you sounded very laid back and chilled. Sure it was just the beer?????!!!!!! Oops better not sow any seeds in case Cat's mum reads this! I just met up with mum in London Cat, along with Mary and Sue. It was great to see them and have a catchup. While there Bill and I went for a champagne tea at the Ritz, courtesy of katie and Nick, for our 30th wedding anniversary. They came too as well as Lizzie. It was amazing but I expect it would have cost the same as a months accommodation for you and kush in Laos!! Anyway enough of this idle chatter....the ironing awaits.....you do remember what that is don't you!!!! Love me xxx

Hey Kush - you look like you having fun on the otherside of the world! i 'm just back form sweden for a day and flying out to switzerland for a CHARITY event i know i'm puting some good back into the world - must catch up sometime for a drink when your home - oh and this will make you laugh i passed my bus drivers test!!!! wish you both all the best on the rest of your trip

Hey Cat and Kush, Sounds like you're having an awesome time, wish I was there! Now I've kept my silence for long enough about Mathew Browne - but - how embarrassing - he weed all over his beige trousers at work the other day, and he wasn't even drunk!!! Hope that's brightened up your day! Keep having fun, speak soon xx

Hi Cat (and Kush) Claire, Mike and I had a brilliant Christmas and Boxing Day here with your mum and dad, David and auntie Sue. Lots of champagne toasts, great food and every game you could imagine ( except we forgot to play Spoons !) . I even remembered to bring your mum some brandy balls ! Claire and Mike are on the way back to Arizona today having covered Bratislava, Vienna, Bath, Bristol, Hartlepool, Manchester and Stamford as well as Oxford and Isham of course ! Happy New year to you both ! We're loving reading your journal and the photos look fantastic ! Have a great time..... Love from Mary ( superauntie !)

At our XMAS Party one of the partners was trying to get Nick to down a pint and he couldn't do it. Have a word Cat. XX

A story for Caaatherine: On the weekend before Christmas Nick went shopping for Lizzie. After 5 hours of shopping he had finally bought a lovely present. (worth £10) He decided that was enough for one morning and headed for the pub on the bus. When he arrived at the pub his present was no longer with him! Back to 0 presents. Silly Nick. Hope travelling is fun, catch up when ur back. Mat XX
