Just wanted to say Hi from the Cartwright Clan. It seems ages since we have messsaged but just so you both know, we are counting the weeks now until your return. We have all missed you loads - you wont believe the change in James since you went. Glad you are still having a ball and your photos look great. Is there ever a day Gem when you look rough - I have to say, in the last 8/9 years, I cant ever say I have noticed. When you look that glamourous half way up a mountain, its time the rest of us gave up. Love to you both xxxxxx

Hey,

Emma beat me to my guess - llama??

Wow - you found the other Stoke!!!

Photos look great - Gem - you look so well turned out all the time - not the traditional "back packer" image at all - v glam even in the middle of a 19km hike!!!

All looks amazing - but obviously not a patch on Keele!!! Jealous me - no never!!!

Halloween passed without any trick or treaters in Penkhull - they must have know I would hit them with my broom stick!!!

Enjoy the Fiji part of the adventure.

Love and best wishes
