Hi Vicky & James,Hope you are both well, have at last had a look at your pictures they look like you are still having a fantastic time, like the fairy outfit! can i borrow it when you get home?! I am half way through my first weekend off in 3 months and so relaxed as college finished as well all i want to do is sleep. the weather has been really good today, i went to the train station to pick up Uncle Jim today as it was nice i had the roof down and jim said he felt like an old play boy! Dad bumped his soft spot again today so had to do first aid, he okay but has a nasty cut. Hey you 2 i hope you put in a good word for me with Johnny! Dad and me are off down the alotment in the morning for an hour or so, i'm in need of some help! really looking forward to seeing you both, take care and speak to you soon. lots of love Ab.xxx

hi guys, we have landed in dubai now safe and sound. we have had some luxury for a few days with our own private butler on the beach bringing us ice lollies and cold towels and now we have managed to book ourselves into a grotty smelly arab dive!!! the pool is green and curry outside our door on the floor, nice! only three more days of it then we are back to five star luxery again, (thank god, says kate!)
glad to see the lions had another stormer.....it must be you guys bringing them bad luck by putting them off before the game with your autograph hunting!
anyway, we're spending the day in a designer shopping mall surrounded by Gucci, Versace, and the rest to avoid the pit we are currently calling home, so we'll leave you for now and update you later...let you know if we see any cockroaches! take care.

Hi Vicky and James. Chris and I have just had a look at the latest photos - they're great! It's great to have Nick and Nick home again and we're looking forward to seeing you both as well.
Not much is happening here - Kevin is down at the village hall putting in a sound system (including a rather nifty CD/DVD player with Karaoke). We had a go with the karaoke last night - good job your mum and dad are away they'd have probably heard us! We all camped on the school field last weekend which was a laugh and we're gearing up for the fete/funday which we're doing with the R&C next week. Ian is working this afternoon - I don't see that much of him these days although he did drive me down to see Jo and Paul this week. Very brave tackling Dursley I thought. He needs to get practising and do his test before Christmas!! He's training with the Stroud seniors at the mo and seems to be enjoying it. I'm not sure when he does his studying! Chris has been singing withe the choir at school although if you'd have heard the karaoke.......! Mike Reynolds wedding was a bit rainy but the fireworks were very pretty. Enjoy the rest of your time xxxxxxxxx
Nicky

Hey guys, sat at home with Gran and Gramps, just showed them a few of the photos, cause they've only seen the very first ones that Linds showed them a while back. It's been a really lush week, the sun has been so hot it's been unbearable at times, made loads of plans for the weekend and surprise surprise Friday has come along and we've had thunder and lightning none stop since 7am - I know this cause it was so loud it woke me up! We're off to Mrs Tucker's retirement party this evening - fun!! So I get to spend some time mingling with the rich and snobby at Wycliffe again! Dan's coming, we've bribed him with the knowledge of free drinks for a couple of hours! Mum's taking Gran and Gramps to Frampton because they've got a promises auction at the local pub tonight.
Baby sitting for Sam tomorrow night, cause Sarah is having a house warming party and Gail is off out with a friend, not sure that's what Dan had planned for his birthday weekend....!!
Anyway, back to watching tv and drinking tea! Speak to you soon. Love Kate.
