Hey guys. Just realised that I havent written anything for a while so here I am. Although we have spoken on the phone alot so I suppose it ok!! Photos look good as always and you look like your having a laugh still but all that will end in about 3 weeks when you're back here!! By the way we've had our summer, its was last weekend! Not long now till the wedding and im soiling myself.....We've got the stag party to look forward to first though. I was thinking, aren't you two going to be jet lagged cos you land on the 23rd and the stag and hen are on the 25th? Or maybe you've had enough practice to drink through tiredness over the past year! Either way it will be really good to have a few beers with you both. Enough wedding talk anyway.......Kev and Selina have now moved into their house and it will be good to have them living closer. (And its somewhere else to have a BBQ and some beers!!!) Donna probably said that she is doing her motorbike test and i will be worried everytime she goes out but it'll be right. We went to Scarborough then Whitby on mine yesterday (Sunday) and today my arse is numb, my wrists hurt and I burnt my arms in the sun! Its not as much fun as it sounds on a motorbike. Anyway, I've gone on enough now so i'll sign off and cant wait to see you both in about 3 weeks. Take care, Paul

OVER AND OUT!!

Bonjour!!!!!!!!!

Hello u 2. Just got back 1.30am today. Viewed all latest photos you've loaded on the site, good to see you both even in photo form. We've had an amazing time Gran absolutely luvs her new pad - just as well really or I'd have been in deep trouble. Jan Mike visited for 5days we had a really good laugh with them (Jan wos so merry one nite she was riding her bike in circles- goin no where) then fell off big style!!. Then Ritch joined us, he sorted some jobs for Gran and is now doin some painting for us. Mal found 7 snakes (when we removed the polly-tunnel), one type we discovered dangerous! I've eaten lots of moules and crab in your honour Cha. Hope you get to join us in the coming months, as you'll need a pick-me up both of u. Hard to be back here but really looking forward to seeing the 2 of u. I'm goin to want a whole lot of hugging. Bye for now yes hve fun but do take good care. Much luv Mum n Mal x x x

Hi to you both you will be on the last leg of your trip we are glad that it is but bet that your not. We are all fandabbydozy and grandad and nan are keeping surprisingly well. We are all going to Gale and Kev's wedding on Saturday in Leeds. Karen and little soldiers are staying at ours Sat night, Lewis still keeps calling Paul uncle Lee. Mum had a phone call about your Hotel room for 97p, they had got the price wrong and quoted in local currency instead of £'s. Mum said they don't no who their dealing with (Charlie) and they are going to halve your bill in £'s and up grade you to a deluxe room. I`m going to get you two to pick my lottery numbers when you get back. Weather has picked up so should be ok fut wedding. Seen your photo's and you look well and enjoying it. Well take care on this last leg and get home safe. Lots of love mum dad xxxxxxxx

Hi there Cha/Lee. It was fantastic to have a fairly long conversation with you the other day. I'm well happy now and more delighted to see your most recent Barrier Reef dive photos - How absulutely amazing it just looks so wonderful. It's no wonder you are embracing every experience it all looks so amazing. As I said the other day I am so very proud of you re your latest news, I've told Jules you'll be doing lunch with her on a regular basis!!!!! Hope I'll get invited too sometime??? Anyway this is brief bye 4 now. Luv u lots (i'll view your dive regularly on slide show till the colours fade!, it's so beautiful) Good luck with your next expedition re: the desert luv Mum & Mal x x x

Hello Cha 'n' Lee.

Hope you are both doing well. I can imagine it was traumatic giving up what has been your home on the Gold Coast. Speaking of homes the weather has been appauling here rain, rain and more rain Steve's area has had huge floods and flood water came in through his front door covered the ground floor of his home and some of it left via the back door......... They have been living upstairs. He sadly lost three sheep too. It's all under control now and getting sorted but not ideal, he could have done without it as the mess left behind is not good. I'm going with Mal to Metro today, as it's raining again so seems a good place to escape for a while. We leave here 13th July to go to Bournemouth then flying out of Stanstead to France 16th, taking Gran'Ma'Ma with us, so hope to definately speak to you before then?????? I am so looking forward to it (don't like being away from it too long) and can't wait to see Gran's reaction to her new pad.Maybe when you return you'll bring us some summer weather. Everyone's good here, certainly hope the same of you two. Bye for now luv and miss u take good care both. Mum 'n' Mal x x x.

By the way weve added more pics to the gold coast album + a gold coast final part. I named the album the same by mistake,but there are more pics in itxx
