This will be my second attempt at this having lost my first one just as I was about to send. I wouldn't have minded but it took me nearly an hour to do. So the first one went along these lines. I really enjoyed reading your blog of all that you have been up to so far and all the amazing photos. It all looks and sounds fabulous and it was nice to be able to read something on your site that actually made sense. Some of the messages left for you the spelling leaves a lot to be desired - and what language is it written in. Therefore M.M has decided only to read your blogs and look at the photos in future because she cannot make head nor tail of the messages and we all know about that tail. Linda has gone to New York to sing in Carnegie Hall with the choir so Mum, Dad and us are babysitting Mike. Poor Mike, he is quite beside himself at the moment because Vera Duckworth died last night in Coronation St. Anyway I hope you both enjoy your tour and meet with some nice people. Keep safe. Lol xxx

Hello girls - how come you both look so lovely - are you carrying too many beauty products? We love the blog, messages and photos. Marie and I spend ages looking at them each day in SWGS and mark the spelling and grammar. As daddy noted some have failed their spelling and grammar test already. Hope the tour is great - be careful and enjoy. We will check first thing each morning for updates. xxxxxxx

Hi Millie and friend!!! Rosie has been away for nearly 2 weeks and it feels like 2 months!!!She is loving Australia so far but finding it much more expensive than she anticipated so be warned and save whilst where you are!!!Hope you have fun and stay safe. Don't forget to let her know the "best bits" and she can do the same for you. LOL Dee.xxx

Hi girls

Hope you're keeping well and enjoyed your shopping day!Having just read the first blog I wanted to make 2 points:

One: When you're attacked by minkeys on Minkey Island surely the last place you want to run is into the trees. That's the first lesson they teach you at minkey survival class! Besides which, mankind left the trees thousand of years ago and it frankly seems a retrograde step to return to the trees .. anti-Darwinian if nothing else.

2. I fully understand thatm turtles are revered holy animals in Vietnam. Certainly I've had to say a prayer or two after seeing the turtle's head!

Sorry, excuse my ridiculous musings. Have fun and be safe.

Hugs and kisses from MickyLurve

Wet and windy

A&C, the blog is wonderful, so sorry you had so many problems with it, can't imagine you were THAT stressed, don't suppose for one minute that it was operator error............

Good to see that all contributions from former SWGS students contain first class grammar and spelling....the 'stratmeister' would be pulling hair out, rock-on!

Continue cheering our lives up in wet and windy wiltshire, the photos were wonderful

love to you both daddybxxxxx

1+1, dead easy, CP, hows wet and windy Gloucester?????
