Kes. Hi Cee, just viewed the latest photo from the Mount , didn't show you at the summit though..!! Got your mail via Yahoo, hope mie have been getting through. 3 candidates on the list for Emily's post, Dave Briffitt, Joe Upsall, and some geezer from the East ( 1 of Arthur's mates ). I would stay where you are if I were you, as it's starting to get chilly now, so stay there for the warmer weather, take care , Kes. ,

Richard Glad to see the scarf is taking pride of place in your Singapore Gallery!

Karen Bowles!!! Photos look cool! I'm looking forward to seeing The Wall - well done on putting up with the smelly men, spit and fish eyeballs. I'm looking forward to experiencing all of this while you are sitting on a beach in the sunshine... Safe travels Lady B. See you in NZ!! KBx PS where exactly can I find the spanish guys??!

Gareth Hi Celia Thought it was about time you had a message from the Bing (Were a bit slow with all this technology). Looks and sounds like you're having a great time in China. Hope you haven't been washed away in a flood, although I get the impression you could do with a bath! Its been quite damp here recently and now we've got foot and mouth (not literally!) - it'll be a plague of locusts next. We seem to have missed your birthday - so belated best wishes. Well raise a glass of wine to you over tea. Take care Gareth

di keates Hi there C just heard news about the floods hope all is ok with you . Everyone is away this week on holiday but i can now access my email so drop me a line if you get the chance.Thinking of you, take care .Lots and lots of Love Di Justin and kids xxxx

George HAPPY BIRTHDAY C! There is a problem with yahoo email at the moment, messages get delayed and then bounced, its not just yours so please don't feel like we aren't getting in touch! Alls well here, Loads of worcesterberries, no skin left on my hands or arms. Mae is chomping her way through bits of cheese, rice cakes and carrot. I'm absolutely knackered, Grae is hairy. Hope you get to do something special today Love George, Graeme & Mae xxx

Denise Pleased to see that photos are not so desperate as your current messages! This is definately what is called character building. Take care Denise and all at Brocks Revel

Martyn F. Hi C. Is it raining where you are? Cos it bloody well is here! Good to see that you'r still well and enjoying yourself. I can't believe that you've met somebody else called Celia and she's smaller than you! I bet it's abit like the land of the giants? Anyway must dash I'm on overtime! Take Care-Mart.

char oi oi sounds like China is lovely and those men sound fantastic!! Sure the school thing is not so bad. Ah well, all good experience. Life is good in Pinsent world, we have just less than 10 weeks to make until baby pinsent is cooked and hopefully popping out with ease! Work is going well, albeit I am getting a bit tired. Rob is working hard hard hard so hopefully his work will calm down soon. Take care of yourself and keep updating us with your fun times!! Love Char, Rob and the Walnut xxx

alexia how does one fit twenty chickens in a bag? (there's a punch line right?) xxx

alexia Greetings oh travelling one! (two) all well here, loving your piccies. Hope things still good with you . We're off to France in five days so will not be online for a few weeks. It's raining here and rather dreary , definitely time to leave the country. Theus had a morning at his big school today and didn't want to leave, so that was encouraging. your parents are coming out for a while don't forget but no doubt your mother will tell you her dates at least 101 times so I shan't bore you with the details! ooodles of love from Blighty... in my opinion, you're not missing anything. Enjoy!!!! big love, Alexia
