Love to all - hope to see most of you soon

Hi Laura and Nick,I know you're not going to get this message for awhile as you're on an island with no electricity or something but just wanted to say thanks Laura for the lllooonnnnnnnnggggg phone call at the weekend.It was great to talk to you and know you were both ok.Hope the 13 hour bus ride was alright and you arrived to brilliant sunshine!!As Auntie Doula wrote it's awful here,cold wet and windy but hopefully will improve for the bank holiday weekend.

We had to cancel going on Lin and Paul's boat last Sunday because of the weather so hoping for this Sunday,fingers crossed.Also it's Andrea Middleton's wedding so hope the sun is shining for her too.

Good to see Matt has kept you up to date with the football results.Man U were not good on Sunday and Chelsea got a dodgy penalty.I think England must of lost last night against Germany,I was unable to watch it and Pete came in very disgruntled and said 'don't ask'!!

About football Adele-sorry to go on but if you would like to go on Tuesday28th, match is at Woodside Road and kick off is 7.30.We sit in the seats(as we're getting older!!)and we'll look out for you.It would be great to see you but no worries if you can't make it.My mobile no. incase you need it is 07930415055.Hope you're well and settling back over here ok.

Mike good to read your news.Keep thinking about you,hope you're ok being on your own.It certainly is a good experience for you so well done.Continue enjoying yourself and enjoying that delicious cheap food and the beer of course!

Sharon,Matt and Faye-hope all is going well for you too.Love to you xxx

Well Laura and Nick hope you're having a great time in Malaysia,must be very strange just the two of you after all this time.Look after each other and enjoy your last 4 weeks of travelling unless you extend it even longer!!!!!Can't wait to see you both.Love you loadsxxxxxxxx

Well hello ello ello!

Apologies to all as it has been horrifically long time since I last blogged or posted any messages to the message board.

I am back in Sydney now after having been in Melbourne. I will do a blog on it in the next couple of days (slackness I know!). Life here is very different to what I first thought that Sydney was. Met lots of people here and had lots of fun (which I shall fill everyone in on soon)....

Just a quickie so you all know I am alive and kicking and I shall pop blog etc on here as soon as I can, which is not right now as I am going for some lunch....

Ps Shoes do not melt in the rain - you know who you are

HI mavro Mike

Dont be bored, its horrible wet windy and boring here in england. You are right to make the most of it. I even put the heating on for a while! So chill put your feet up and eat lobster. Looking forward to seeing you though.

Going to hastings on friday to get wet there instead. They say a change is as good as a rest. But not so sure with this weather.

Hello to all the others Nick laura Faye (did i forget anyone oh yes and sharon, or has she gone too) Sorry not so up to date with things.

Well, to all of you make the most of it, be safe.

Love to all
