Hi Emma just had a lookat all your latest photos they're amazing. Just wish Just wish I could be on that beach with you. I've just come back from an emergency trip to Rushlake Green, the usual panic - children to collect from school and transport in dock. And it's pouring with rain. I'm off to London tomorrow to a school reunion - can you imagine all us old grannies reminiscing about lacxosse matches etc. I shall be looking after dyl and dollie from tomorrow evening while your Mum and Dad are away - that means I shall have lots more bare patches on the lawn. After that I shall be in Devon for a week. In the meantime have fun and I shall be in touch on the 18th - so long as Lucy can sort out this computer for me. Lots and lots of love Granny xxx

Hiya Em,

Glad you're having good time, it's nice to read your blog cos it gets me out of having to do housework for a while but you're on holiday and wouldn't know anything about housework would you? My tan's already gone which I really regret and your Mummio and Only Me are off to top theirs up in just 2 days. You're all soooo lucky. Carry on having fun.

Love Sally, Zane and co.

Em!

Are you having a good time in Australia? Arr I'm so envious! Uni is going well although I seem to have a permanent hangover! How goes the backpacking? I'm having a hard time imagining you hefting a huge rucksack around!

Take care, Hannahxx

Hi Emma,

I thought I had already sent you a message - but it doesnt seem to be there! So glad you are having a super time! Enjoy every minute! It will be really great to see how you are doing!! Been over to your Mum today to show her the journal I made when we went to New England, only a week to go before they take off!! I am sure they will have a great time! Take care - both of you, and have fun!!!!!!

Love from Marilyn
