Hey up Chris, how goes it? I see you've managed to avoid being deported! Well done! Nothing much changes here in leafy Lymm, particularly in the Bull. Mia is fine, I painted her roof and had some new art work done on the roof. All the new units go in next month. I'll send you some piccies. Stay cool, hang loose. JB

Hey Dad, Mike, Hope you're both ok. Photo's look amazing, bet it's like a different world over there, already looking forward to hearing about everything. Will have to plan a visit up home for when Mike gets back and he can tell us all about it - if he decides to come home! bet you're having an amazing time. I's freezing here at the mo but dry at least, nice bright cold autumn time - lovely! Thomas is walking really well now and at last he's walking in shoes so we can put him down outside, just need to get some reins now as his new favorite game is walking down the street. He was digging in the garden with Ryan at the weekend - was great fun for him, lovely and muddy and he wasn't happy when it was time to go inside! Got his 10 month development check tomorrow, even though he is 11 months TODAY! So fingers crossed all goes well for that. He's becoming such a charachter, also learning how to throw a paddy now which is very amusing, he knees down and throws himself forward! All still going ok with 'bump' and getting fatter by the minute! apparantly I'm have a big baby and 1st scan showed baby measuring 2 weeks ahead of due date. Went to visit C, V &R couple weeks ago, had lovely time and went for a walk in Delamere forest on way home with them. Ruby just wanted to kiss and cuddle thomas all the time and he wasn't having any of it, in the end he was just letting her do it, it was very cute Anyway, take care of yourselves. Hope to hear from you soon

Em, Ryan and Thomas xxx

Hi you,

Rachel popped round on Saturday with your postcard. Lovely to hear from you and that you are doing fine. Glad to see that your travels are colourful to say the least but that you are managing to stay out of trouble! You aren't missing much here, definitely Autumn is in the air and winter is a coming!

David, Jeff and I were trying to get away snowboarding before Christmas but not having any luck in getting anything, let alone a bargin. Will keep you posted... might see you in New Zealand you never know! Anyway keep having fun and stay safe. Luv Karen & David X

Hi Chris. Update from Blighty............it's freezing, brrrrr. The card you sent to the Bull has been passed around. People are genuinely chuffed for you and loads of respect for having the guts to do it, sounds like your having a ball. Cant wait to hear your travel tales, take plenty of piccies. Take care. (hopefully by the time you get back Geoff and I will have our boat afloat, we're getting one built soon)
