Hi Gem.
Just a quick note to say hope your well, your journals sound great fun and its so nice to hear that your having a great time. We all miss you here. I had a great time camping in Cornwall, I actually survived tenting and so much so am contemplating buying one!!!
It was lovely seeing Ali and the kids, I cant believe how much Josh has grown he is so tall. weather here been really bad of late and we have been getting terrible rain. I cant believe how quick the summer holidays have gone for me its my first time off for 6 weeks and they have flown by. Still its been lots of fun. Take care Gem, Love always
