Glad to see you are carrying on the family tradition of volunteering at live shows! You are doing so many wondeful things and it really makes me want to do them too! I didn't know elephants and tigers were native to Australia!

Thinking of you all the time.

All my love Mum xxxxxxxxxxxx

Hey twigs...sounds like you are having a really lovely time. Thank you so much for the vacuum pack clothes idea, most definately wouldnt have fitted all my clothes in the backpack! love x x

Hi Emma,

I thought that you would like to know that George is missing you but he is being very brave. His friends are looking after him and he is going to events like the JCR quiz so that he does not feel lonely.

Take care and I hope that the mosquitos are put off by all the sun cream!

Hey Emma

It sounds as if you are having a great time. the weather in oundle is horrendous atm but i bet its scorching in Queensland as i gather thats where you are now. I saw your Dad today unexpectedly at Oundle which was very unusual. I did not hear he was coming. Have fun!

Hello Emma.So many activities! We quite lose our breath just reading about them. I can see you are having a great time,and you are certainly having a varied diet!But please,before you go swimming in lakes or sea,do make sure that it is safe to do so; it's a different environment and conditions can sometimes be treacherous.We miss you so much and send you all our love.xxxx

Thankyou for the lovely Mother's--Nanny's--Day card, and some beautiful flowers from all the family.I sent you a message on Saturday but it didn't go through so I hope this does! Your exciting experiences and photos are so interesting to follow. What a great start to your travels.So now you are in Sydney. Enjoy! Take care,stay safe. All our love.xxxx

That fireshow sounds amazing. I am rather worried that a certain pyromaniac that we both know might get some ideas to try on exeat weekends.

Looking forward to seeing pictures of the paragliding!
