To Mark, Hev, Amy & Emily Yes I always have a problem saying no and maybe that would have been easier, but not as much fun, looking forward to golf when I get back and thanks for your message

Hi Nick and Fred sorry I wasnt there to help the adults to victory. Don think its the ski season so will have to conten myself with visits to the vineyards instead, look forward to seeing you when I get back :o)

Hi the Basra Jones clan. Thanks for the poem, maybe once Ive had a lo of the local brews I may be able to tell you what it means. At the momen Im not drinking a our guide who has been spot on wih everything so far told us not to drink as it gives you the hangover from hell at this altitude and has has some clients hospitalised, so will drink closer to sea level. Meeting loads of great people and the local are so freindly xxx

Hi Graeme,

Looks like you are having a fabulous time. I especially like the photo on the beach with you and that girl who looks like a seal.

Hi Grae - computer been playing up recently, but now up and running again, great photos, you look like you're having lots of fun and keeping really busy. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the trip.

Hey there! We missed you at the wee-end, but I am sure you are having a blast - around the world in 88 days WoW, the lengths you'll go to to get out of lunch in Woking!!! Once I've calculated when you are back - we'll have to have another get together.
Be safe - no chucking yourself off more mountains ... we're not all there to bail you out this time...

Have fun!

Graeme, the things you do to avoid seeing us for lunch or playing golf! You could have just said no. Got to blame the slippery (rain soaked) surface for losing the rounders, can't be that the kids were better than us... Looking forward to seeing your future adventures. Have fun.

Graeme...good to see your exotic travels. We all played rounders in the hail and sleet on Sunday...and tragically the kids team beat the adults, which I'm sure we'll be reminded of on many occasions in the future.

Hope you continue to enjoy all the places we'd like to explore. I hear the skiing is great in Chile...let us know how you get on.

Best

Nick and Fred

Hi Grae.

As you are in Chile (i think?) I thought I'd begin with a little poetry from Pablo Neruda:

Fall wine or spring wine,
Wine and drinking mates,
At a table littered with leaves from the sping Equinox
The big river of the World blanching to be so far from our song...
I'm an easy drinker.

Now, I've no idea what this poem means, which is why I'm working for a livin', but I liked the sentiment of 'mates' and 'easy drinking' So here's my question; are you meeting plenty of nice people and sampling the local brew?

Never mind the above preamble, I just wanted to touch base and say 'hi'.

Lots of love, Phil, Sudesh, Alex and Simran
