lynne Hey girls! Just wondering what you're up to and where you are now. We are all fine. Richard has gone to London today for a school re-union - just 5 of them! but it is a big deal seeing as they last saw each other in Zimbabwe 30 years ago! It seems there are quite a few now living in the UK (and all around the world by the sound of it) - you never know - this traveling may kick start you into wanting to live somewhere else!(as long as there's room for us to stay!) Looking forward to the next update. Lots of love to you both. Lynne xxxxxx

Stephanie Hi girls It seems you've having an absolute ball and I am so jealous!!! You're bringing all my old memories back! Lovin the photos! Stephanie

Julie Hi there lovely ladies Work is very boring so I fill in my day by reading your blog so keep writing - especially you Ellie - looks like Manda is doing all the work! Me and Tony did a 17 mile cross country run in what felt like gale force winds yesterday - yes our life is that much more fun than yours! Lynne if you're reading this we will def be with you for Easter! lots of love Julie, Tony, girls and cats xxx

louise Hey babes - looks amazing, great to get your news! Miss you to bits, take care of each other and keep having a wonderful time. Where next? love you loads and loads xxxxx

Dad At work at the moment. Don't forget the old Loas Proverb: Although he who walks behind an elephant may feel very secure, he is likely to get splattered with elephant dung. Love you both and miss you both loads Dad

lynne Hey girls Loving the blog. You will notice how much cooler it gets the further north you go.I remember Rich saying that. You will probably need some warm stuff too.Rich bought loads of labelled gear in the markets in Cambodia (well - a few hoodies!). Said he would rather give them the small amount of profit directly to the workers instead of buyin here from GAP etc.and lining their pockets. You may see quite a lot of Western labels there. We are all good. Richards new flat is lovely and we had a great time in London. Spoke to your mum tonight. We may get together at Easter which will be lovely. An opportunity to visit David and maybe see if Tony and Julie could travel north too for the weekend. Fingers crossed it will happen. Anyway, take care both of you and have the time of your life! Lots of love Lynne xxxxxxxxxxx
