Hey guys,
It's been a while since we last posted a message here so I thought I ought to get to it! Not much in the way of exciting news other than we have been doing a bit of house-hunting of late but haven't really found anything worth moving for just yet. We still haven't heard about Isabella operation, although she has already decided which teddy bears are going to be accompanying her into hospital! She's terrific, of course, and we are going to have a little birthday tea party for her birthday next month - I could do with your help in the party bag department, quite frankly! What else? Mmmmm.. ah yes, Jonathan has got back in to running in a big way lately, so much so, that he disappeared for a 90 min run earlier this morning! 90 mins!! I ask you! Marathon here we come!
Probably off down to ma & pa's next w/end for a bit of R&R and then to Yorkshire to look after Isaac at the beginning of September. Wish me luck!
Best love,
D, J & I xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hello! Helen and Aki. How are you? The rainy season is continued in Japan. Antigua is a very wonderful place. The chair of God and the photograph of a small taxi were seen. It is very cute
. A town is very cute although it cannot be imagined from the beautiful mountain range where Nature spread, or a beautiful active volcano!! I thought that Antigua was a very warm town. I enjoyed the photograph of Antigua. Furthermore, please carry a wonderful photograph. I expect it. Please perform the cautions about the body. And please take a still better trip. Noriko xx

Hey u 2
Thought we'd better email u while we still have the facilities to do so. Don't know if you've heard but we move out of no. 50 next Friday and move into the barn so will only be able to email u from work which is probably less likely to happen! ( u know how crap we are!)
We are waiting to put an offer in on our dream house, Tindale Towers! Been round it and its spectacular or rather it will be once it is completely gutted. Needs rewiring, plumbing, new kitchen & bathrooms and complete redecoration - we like a challenge. Good news is if we do get it everyone would be able to have a bedroom of their own for family Christmases. We will keep you posted with any developments but keep your fingers crossed.
Glad u had a good time with the Dowdens and mum & dad in Spain - the pics are very good ( not sure about the parents headgear tho!)
Isaac is growing at a rate of knots - hes a real bruiser. Still no real words yet but we think thankyou is on its way. He generally enjoys bashing and throwing things and of course dancing ( well really more bobbing up & down and then turning around with his hands in the air)
Hope you are still enjoying your travels - u both look really well and when i think about it make me really quite jealous!
Love, hugs and kisses to u both

Hi Helen & Aki,
I am glad to see you went for the round the world ticket. It will be a wonderful experience for you and I look forward to reading up on all the places you will be visiting. (I may even get some honeymoon ideas!)
I am not sure if you are getting e-mail now so sorry if you already know this - we have a wedding date at last! 19th May 2007. I guess you will just have arrived back in Tokyo by then but if you can make a trip to Cambridge I would love to see you both there.

Hi u 2
Just thought we'd better send a message before we go on our jollies to France. We are in the middle of packing which is proving to be a nitemare cos as quickly as we are packing things Isaac takes them out & throws them on the floor! Quite tiresome after a while but he seems to enjoy himself. The walking is well and truely mastered and he constantly wants to be outside watering the plants or in his paddling pool! Looking forward to France cos at least it should be easier for him to spend the day outside.
Bet you're looking forward to seeing the 'Dowdens', i know they are all quite excited about it. Just sorry that we won't be able to tag along.
Anyway enjoy yourselves
All our love

Halloo!! Just a quick one... have finally got a date for Isabella's consult with the ENT guy and it's not until the end of June (29th) so we should be able to make it to Spain to see you both - hurrah! Just wanted to check where you might be staying as we as may as well stay with you/near you! Let me know and I'll do some booking!

Hello Helen and Akisan, I enjoyed a lot your photos and messages.
It seems you're having fantastic travel.
Watching your homepage, I hope in the future I can go to a lot of countries, espeially Spain, and Southeast Asian coutries.
I'm looking forward to seeing you again, but it will be in Spring 2007!!!
Please continue having good holiday, and excuse me for my strange English...
