Hi there. Sorry haven't posted a message recently but hope you got my email.
We have been getting around[not quite in your league] Had a great time in dorset getting plenty of bites which called for a visit to the doc.
Home for a couple of days to gather clean washing and off last week to suffolk. It was hot hot hot!!!More bites swollenarms and more visits to doc.All now healed so am taking no risks am using loads of "off" You haven't mentioned any nastys so hopefully you have had no contact with spiders etc.
Your hols sound fab and do like hearing the daily menu. continue to enjoy yourselves and keep writing. It's good to be in touch.Love to both nan xxx

Hello!
Good to hear you're having a great time. Thought I'd post a message as I go to Italy tomorrow. Went to London on Monday to see the Chilis, they were really good, played for 2hrs 10mins! It was nice to see Kate, Si and Rob. Hopefully we're going to catch up some other time before I go to France. I've spent the rest of this week working although it's not been very busy because of the hot weather we've been having, 34c in the car earlier (and that's up North)
Right I best go pack the rest of my stuff, I'm under instructions not to pack too much as Ryanair have been really strict recently.
Thanks for all the postings, nice to hear you're having fun!
Speak soon
Lots of love Katie xxx

Ems and Stee

Lots of love to you both xxxx

Hey Ems & Steve,

Nan told me about this message board tonight, and how you'd been moaning that I hadn't been in touch, so this is to keep the peace! Sorry for not writing sooner - things have been pretty busy back home - as you know I got back from Iceland last week and have spent the time since working at Hazelwick. Also, Eli is away with Matt and Luke in Japan so Dad and I are trying to figure out how we can BBQ whatever we can lay our hands on.

I haven't managed to keep up with your pace of writing - you seem to have as much to say online as you do in person - at least this way I'll be spared endless tales when you get back :) Speaking of which, I think you're going to miss my party, which I'm having on the 9th September.

So, apart from the challenges of conveying the joys of maths and physics to lippy indifferent teenagers, things are splendid. The weather is excellent, and I haven't payed a sausage for it. Bonus.

Right, hopefully that'll keep Nan quiet for a while...!

Take care, eat well (I don't doubt it for second), wrap up warm and don't forget your hankie.

Lots of love,

David

Sounds like you are having a truly brilliant time. Stu and I are all packed and ready to go just waiting for the school term to end (finally) on Friday.

Have so far had two "goodbye meals" with Rhi and am going for the last one on Friday!

I can't wait until Melbourne and the neighbours night - what day is that on?

Hi E and S
I have just read your update and am glad that it all seems to be going well (touch wood). I have just arrived home from a fabulous 5 day trip to Switzerland. It was Anita's 50th b-day so she and Walter took Mos,me and 18 of their family to a 4 star hotel at Flims which is in the mountains. It was wonderful and the weather and everything else was perfect. Now it is back to reality. Bye the way Em I met a hostie on the flight home whose sister used to go to school with you and David (Gemma Fosch) small world is'nt it. Bye for now you two and take care. Love Nan P. xxxx

Ems and Steve xxx

Sorry it has taken me ages to get on here. Itsounds like you having a fab time. I am very jealous of all the seafood and that picture of the platter is just amazing. I can't belive em you got steve on a cooking course, well done he suits an apron so maybe he should get in the kictchen more often. Keep having an amazing time.

Not much exciting happening here although moving house this weekend which is fab but very tiring.

lots of love

Rhi

Did you actually climb the bridge? - when you said that I thought you meant walk up the steps and go across! Was it safe! Are you mad? Should I worry more about you?
Be careful!
Mum

Hi Ems & Steve,
Hope all is well with you and you are having a great time. Savour every moment 'cos you're an awful long time at work when you can only have a few weeks leave at a time!
Andrew had his birthday BBQ yesterday. You were missed (it was quite quiet! - even though Rachel was there!!). The weather has been pretty good.
David had a great time away with your Dad. I think they are both pretty knackered.
Eli & I went to Washington the other week and put GlobalFlyer in the Smithsonian which was pretty cool. Especially when Eli & I found ourselves alone in a room with the Space Shuttle! The only sad thing was that I had to explain to Eli what the Space Shuttle does. Girls - huh!
Andrew is off to Tenerife with Jen tomorrow. Nan P is off to Zurich today. Eli, Matt & Luke are off to Tokyo on Sunday. That leaves David & I to fend for ourselves until next Saturday. I must stop off a Tescos on the way home for more pizzas......
Keep up the postings. I'll try to send more soon.
Take care.
Luv Kevxx
