hey :)

Just looked at your last blog. so jelous of you! looks fantastic! really wish i was there too!

i have about 2 months left at college then i go into the BIG world!its all very intense at the moment and there has been a few tears from stress but its all good. just got to get all my work in and it will be plain sailing from there :)

in my last message i mentioned my driving test,well it got cancelled due to everyone going on strike atm. so i got it resqeduled for friday the 16th. so once again ill be keeping my fingers crossed. really missing you both alot! so glad your enjoying yourselves so much!

ive been on work experiance this week at the sole distributor and training facilities of Guinot products. im sure Liz will understand that title more than Tom. its been good ive learnt alot! really made me think there are so many things i could do with my qualification. ive been thinking how i could work in a salon for a quite a few years and get that experience then go into a job like marketing for beauty products and the training. even considering doing a teaching course so it is a route i could take. i wouldnt want to teach at a college though, only post college students who are learning about specific products. i even got freebee products when i left which is a mayjor plus!!

wow! its nearly half way thorugh your trip! its going quick isnt it! im sure its going super super speed for you though as your doing so much!!

tom those pictures of you bungee jumping are great! something you need to keep! something i will NEVER do. liz you look so radient at the moment! you look amazingly healthy with your tan. you look beautiful :)

when you get back ill be very established in my new job which i just started at the spa so liz! yes you can have a facial, tom you could have one too if you want!! hehe.

i hear from mum you are going to stay with cheryl and co for a while at the end of your trip! please give them a huge hug from me! remember the fantastic holidays we had with them. i always remember toasting marshmallows on their fire when they lived in totonto. and the disney on ice show! really wish i could see them too!

any way i got to go. im at dads at the moment! just thought id catch up with you. really miss you both.

love you

Having read Nina's message and your blog I have decided there is something wrong here.

Here I am going to work every day and coming home to look at rain, rain and more rain.

Roll on retirement then I'm out of here.........anyone going to join me !!!!

Anyway of course I'm glad you are enjoying yourselves.

Off to work now

You have to pick me up a copy of 'communicating with animals'. I'd quite like to speak with Fozzy about his misdeeds.

Sounds like you're having a great time. Liz - you look so brown! You look very healthy for it and tom you are looking much more furry there by the TV. Levi says Brisbaine is beautiful. it so cool you're getting a campervan out. I'm very jealous still even though i am half way there, the sea here is so cold!! we went in yesterday in Santa barbara and it was just tolerable!

It's very beutiful here, and boiling hot so i'm happy! we're in Los Angeles tonight and tomorrow but have decided to go back up to santa Barbara tomorrow night and out the the valley and spend more time after that in Sanfrancisco as opposed to staying in San Diego. I loved San francisco so much and Santa Barabra is much prettier and easier going than Venice beach in LA. it's like a david lynch movie here - we just bumped into a roller blading guitar blading jamacian and a 60 something year old clown!! LA is something out of this world!!

To be honest i can't wait to lay on the beach again and kayak and swim, it's what i have enjoyed most. Yosemite was crazy with beauty - it is breath taking. We had such a good time there and i didn't want to leave. The smell is wonderful, because of the pines and because it is spring all of the waterfalls were in peak flow. We went horseriding one day which was awesome.

I have loads to tell anyway as i'm sure you have but we will have to catch up on the phone or over email, i don't want to bombrad you at once and also i have no blog! but that was a short blurb about it! in one word though it is...amazing!

i hope you are both well, you look like you're having the time of your life. Tom that picture of you kissing the dolphin almost made me wet myself!!

lots of love, i miss you xxxxx

Hey Tom and Liz, How are you? i miss u lots. at the moment we have an english wwoofer Ellie staying with us. she is so nice. When was ur b'day Liz??? Happy B'day. i hope u had a good day. Where are you at the moment??? will u come back and stay with us again?? PLEASE???? any way im not on crutchers any more but my foot is still a bit swollen and i have to have it strapped. so annoying!!

Hi Tom and Liz

As usual me us we are late to do anything. We didnt open the email from liz to her dad until the Sunday when you left the wwoofing address on the Saturday, so we didnt know about the phone.

Anyway Tom, Reading lost to Arsenal 2-0, we weren't bad, but the Gunners won easily.

On Saturday we drew 0-0 at Wigan so we are one point above the relegation. Next Saturday will be the defining day, we play Spurs at home and Fulham and Birmingham play one another.

Hope to speak to you soon, I'll look on the computer more frequently.

We both miss you lots

Oh dear!

I have just sat down to send you a happy birthday message only to find it has past. So sorry Liz, I hope you had a really good day snogging the marine life.

It is freezing cold today and I am dreading tomorrow when I will be forced to watch Reading play Arsenal on the telly. It is too much to hope that Reading will win, but I expect that after the match Josh will be the happy one!

Tom, we got beaten by Fulham last Saturday, the first time they had won away from home for 18 months, typical Reading. We were awful too, it could have been six! They thought all they had to do was turn up and win and, as we know, that is never the case.

As neither me or moya watch Neighbours we didn't know any of the celebs you were mixing with, but it looks like you had a good time.

Moya wants to know what the fish menus are like in Australia and New Zealand, but it seems to me a rather long way to go for an evening meal!!

Anyway, we will let you get back to the beach.

Moya and Dad x x x x x x

Hello!

Thanks so much for your birthday messages on here and facebook and the e-cards!!! I missed having you all around but Tom spoiled me rotten! Bless him!

Spent the day on the beach and then went to a dolphin pool and got a kiss from a dolphin, and a fishy smacker from a seal!

This is just a quickie anyway as I am just heading off to the beach, but thanks!!!!
