Hello again Chaz, another lovely long blog - it was worth getting up for on this very cold morning here. At the moment there's no rush for you to get back to the UK, it's freezing.

The latest photos I've seen from you are the St.Kilda ones on this web-site. I have no idea how to apply face-book! I'll need you to show me when you get back.

I'm amazed you keep meeting up with people when you're all travelling around. A moving mass!

Good luck with Fiji & NZ. A lovely island I believe, much like the OK only warmer.

Looking forward very much to hearing from you at your next stop, love as ever, Nanny. xxx

Hi Charlotte

Gran & I are off to the Caribbean on Wednesday for Gran's big birthday cruise. We are back in the UK before you but cannot wait to catch up with you on your return.

Lots & lots of love G & G

Hi Charlotte

It really sounds like you are having such a great time and I am sure that will continue.

Your mum suggested I post this to you to let you know that whilst in Tenerife last week Rachel and I got engaged. We are obviously really happy and I think Michael and Nikki are planning a party for us once you get back so the whole family can be there.

Take care and keep enjoying yourself

Love U. Paul xxx

Hi Charlotte

It all sounds so fantastic, so much warmer than when Grant goes surfing in Cornwall in their wet suits.

I can not wait to hear what happens over the next few weeks.

Keep having the time of your life.

Love Celia xxxxx

Hello again Chaz, It seems ages since we heard from you, but I thought you must be travelling around.

Camping is what Alex & Steve are good at so I'm sure you will have picked up some good tips from them as to how to survive the loss of electricity, but eating & cooking al fresco takes some beating!

Take lots of photos & show us them when you can, much love as ever, Nanny. x

Hi Everyone, the blog is now updated! There is lots to read but do leave a msg if you can!! Its nice to hear from people and in the major cities I will try and get on!!

I leave for Fraser Island in 5 days, the 4x4 Safari round an island where I have to camp so I won't have any internet (or electricity) access there but I will update when I am back, lets see if I can remember anything from when I used to camp with Alex and Steve??? love to all xxx

Just had a look at the pic's.

I WANT TO BE THERE!

It's so not fair. I might have to have a gap year, can you do that when you are older!

Keep having a fab time.

lots of love

Celia xx

Hi All,

Thanks for the continued messages it makes my day haha!!

Celia-glad you are finding them amusing!! lol yes the man flu...one of the lads has been to the doctors and he does indeed have the worst strain of FLU so i am keeping well away...as u know very best about my crappy immune system!! I know the time has flown by...and I cant wait to hit the road, Frankie has emailed me saying it is amazing so I can't wait!!! Don't worry the weather has been crappy the last two days...so probably the same as at home!!

Nanny - I am about to attempt the Spanish Omelette so I shall let yo know how it goes! Zak spent ages telling me on the phone about coming to stay with you, sounds like he had a great time!! And I'm sure u were well fed by dad...I miss his cooking a lot!! And zak saidhis favourite part was getting horse slobber on his hand and wiping it on dad he was giggling away on the phone!!

Thanks for the recipes everyone! I have tried out one from mum, Chicken Paprika and rice which I had yesterday and it was soooooooooooo nice!! So hopefully the others I will attempt in the next week will be just as satisfying!! Love to all xxxx

Hi Charlotte

I love reading all about you 'goings on'.As I write this message the sun is shining but the scenery isn't up to much not at all like yours. The time seems to have gone so fast you will soon be on your travels. Keep well don't catch the 'Man Flu'.

Lot of love

Celia xx

Hello Chaz, just read your latest +blog & very interesting it is too! I'm looking forward to seeing the next lot of photos & as I have no idea how to get into facebook I'll have to wait for them to come through this method.

I see dad has sent a couple of messages - he didn't mention that he & Zak have been up here to visit me for a few days!

Despite the downturn in the weather we managed to keep Zak occupied, & dad cooked some super meals. I did the breakfasts! I don't know if it was the change of air, but Zak didn't stop eating.

Alex has gone snowshoeing in the Italian Alps today. I don't quite know what that involves other than walking on snow in tennis racquet type footwear. Steve has to work, but she is going with a group.

How is the cooking going? You'll be more than proficient by the time you get back home!

Much love to you, Nanny.

Has that child that you thought didn't take to you like you any better yet?
