Auntie Christine Hey Love the pictures ! There lovely! Hope to see you soon XxX From Christine XxX

carol Where are the photos of Tony in the Spa? - look forward to seeing those when you get back! You all look great on the latest photos - don't rush home, it hasn't stopped raining since you left! The drive is looking good, even though the bricks are floating! Enjoy the rest of the week!

John & Maria Your adventures look great fun. Didn't realise that Tony was so shy!!! But looking forward to being invited over for a genuine thai meal when you get home. All the Best, John & Maria

Phil Im glad mum mentioned your drive was being done, I thought the pikeys had nicked all your paving slabs!

Andrea OK so I'm meant to be working but couldn't resist reading the blogs, just don't tell the boss!! The trip sounds fantastic, not sure about the 1st class train travel, but hey you all survived. Weather here is gloomy, wind and rain!!!! Enjoy the rest of the trip - best wishes Andrea

Chris and Carol Loved your latest blog James - have you considered a career in journalism - or possibly elephant taming? You are all certainly having an adventure! I think we'll all want to spend January in Thailand in future - beats a miserable wet England! Just wanted to let you know that Steve Basford has started your drive today - phew! I'll keep you informed!!! Looking forward to the next instalment - keep up the good work. C

Lynda and Pete Just read the latest blog entries and could not resist a message! We roared with laughter especially reading about the massage and Sheila screaming on the elephant. What a hoot! The next resort looks fabulous - hope you get to relax and get some sleep! Lots of love Lynda and Pete

Leigh Well Charlie looks like your all having fun. As predicted you are not missing anything back here. We are all about to move desks in the office and thats about it. Its like musical chuffing chairs as always. I loved the video of the tuk tuk ride. You have no reason not to come on the back of the bike now. That journey looked far worse than a ride out with me. LOL. All the best to all of you. Hope you enjoy the rest of your journey. Don't forget to keep a look out for any giant waves.

Christa & Steve Photos and blogs are really interesting. Having said that you have put me off Thailand for life. Lizards & Snakes, definite no no noooooh! Think I'll stick with a nice spa break! Enjoy though, definitely broadening the mind. Christa and Steve xx

Peggy Hi This is site is truly amazing, and I love the lizard photo. If it makes you feel better it tipped it down with rain all afternoon in MK and the wind is blowing gales. Just ate half a tub of Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie ice cream to cheer myself up! Have a wonderful time, will be following your travels with interest (and a small degree of envy). Px

Phil Massive lizards and rickety vehicles and slums by the river. you're not in thailand, you're in greens norton!

The Watt Lot Had a quick look tonight - pictures are great! Will keep a check on your progress - enjoy! Work is boring - weather is awful - is that the sort of thing you wanted to hear?? (oh yeah, and the gym is packed!!!)

Lynda and Pete Hi. Just looked at all your photos etc. Looks absolutely fabulous. Seems quite surreal though knowing how far away you are. Enjoy the train journey - we know exactly where you are and where you are heading. Feeding fish tomorrow James! Lots of love Lynda and Pete.

John & Maria Interesting blog - you are lucking that nobody tried to sell you the floating dog!!! Have fun and enjoy

Christa & Steve Sounds great so far. Hope you aren't too knackered after the flight. Have fun xx
