Have a lovely Easter! Easter bunny will call at Brill somewhat late this year! All well here. Mum & Dad in Lisbon. Lots of love

It all sounds wonderful, really envious of you (apart from the sunburnt bottom!). Look forward to seeing some photos when you get chance to upload them. Got back from hols yesterday and have Cress and Catri with us plus inka and echo! A chaotic household. Doing all the boring washing & stuff today. Is it very rainy at times? When we were away they kept going on about the storms in your neck of the woods? lots of love from us all xxxxx

Thank you so much for email, it's lovely to know you are enjoying yourself. We are following your tour, love from Grampy and Me

Had my 'spaz' in private - do hope you're being decorous is Penang and have your sunburn covered up though! We're off to Lisbon for a few days, and sadly, I don't think anyone will want to read our travel journal. Hope that S'pore accommodation proves less stressful this time. Waiting for those photos lots of love xx

Great to hear from you again. I'm sooo relieved that you're back in the land of air conditioning - it's been really worrying me that you have to resort to lying in a hammock slung between palm trees in order to catch the odd bit of breeze..... Have fun in Penang!

Ooops!! Pressed the wrong button! You sound to be having a great time. I envy you snorkelling and seeing all those lovely things, but don't forget your suntan lotion next time! Luci had a little boy on Friday 31.03.06. Theo - 9lb 2oz and both are well. I've only seen a photo so far and he's gorgeous! Jan and Chris are with me for 3 days so went up to see your mum and dad last evening - and Jan loved seeing Inka, Echo and Florrie! Enjoy Penang, much love, Sally xx

im sat here freezing cold in a massive hoody! wish i could be sunbathing! we really need to see some pictures asap! bit of bad news from here, troiless (the tortoise) got sick and is no longer. anyway, PICTURES, PICTURES, PICTURES!! dont get to sunburnt, mum will have a spaz. x

Hey girlies! It's so annoying that you had a bad start, but hey, things can only get better (and i can make sure of that once you get here!). Only one week 'till you both arrive... Don't know how I'm going to recognise you both at the airport -you'll be all tropical looking! It's cooled down a bit over in Perth now, so it's about 28 degrees everyday. Might be just what you need after 40 degree stinking hot treks. Can't wait to see all your photos! See ya soon!!!xxxx

hey! hope ur having lots of fun still, went ice skating last night with some of the girlies was all disco-esque with 13 year olds speeding past us. fell over once and dragged charlotte down with me. visited turf tavern too, omg their coke and blackcurrant is sooo much nicer then the bells. crazy. then we had ice cream it was so yum. yay! wasnt a crazy night out but have resolved the bells is becoming a little bit too much like home. hehe. have easter hols right now,need to write long essay but am avoiding it by harrassing u guys. am soo jealous! still quite an odd green colour! make sure ur taking care of urselves now! love and koala bear squeezes from mim xxxx

It sounds like your having an amazing time!! its raining here in sunny portsmouth....! cant wait to see the pictures although nothing will compare to actualy being there, see you soon! enjoy it while it lasts

heya girlies! sounds absolutely amazing! leeches sound a little scary though - DEET is really good if you have one!! ew brings back icky memories! come on and put some pictures up! dont get burnt or talk to strange men etc... its almost spring here - daffodills and crocuses out, as opposed to tropical rainforest flowers! love you lots! muchos hugs! emily xxxxx

Great to read your update just now. Well done for climbing that mountain in 40 degrees! Really envy you the view from the top. The floating restaurants sound fantastic and it must be great to have the jungle sound effects in the background as well. Enjoy your dip! We had dinner your Mum & Dad last evening Charley and Echo and Florrie were very funny and very noisy! love Mike & Sally xx
