If anyone reading James's journal is surprised to note that he mentions food and eating on a very regular basis, then don't be - I never have been. His love of food belies his size - where it all goes I have no idea.
Carry on having a great time - enjoy it all and keep safe.
A bientot - love Mum and Dad xx

Loving your entries JG, keep up the wise words and wit! The last one, the 5th, has particularly made me chuckle, especially knowing what those Arctic dance moves would look like! Lol! SOOOOOOO pleased you're having an awesome time! Keep safe dude xxx

Hey Dude,
Sounds like you're having a wicked time! I wanna see pics though? Are they there cause I couldn't see any new ones of your travels, though I did like the old one of us at Ritzys, classic! Email us when you have some fancy snaps to show, I look forward to perusing them. I've got a job interview with ITV Sport on the 5th Feb so fingers crossed for that, I'll let you know how it goes. As for tonight it's time for the Arsenal Youth to d*** on the Spurs! Holla! Tom

Hey Bro, impressed with the journal entries - they make my days at work go a lot faster....please keep them coming.
Keep having lots of fun and make sure you take plenty of pictures. It’s these experiences and events which you will most certainly look back on when you are old and grey. Make the most of every day and grasp what each day throws at you with both hands.
Look forward to seeing you soon, Bro and Tracey x

Hi James, hope this email finds you OK. Had lunch with Mum on Sat 13th Jan. and she told me all about your big adventure! What a fantastic journey you must be having, talk about seeing the world! It doesn't seem like five minutes since you were at school and now look at you, a man on a mission! Good luck James and take care. (thats a mother talking!)

Hi - just to let you know that James called to say he had arrived in Hong Kong this morning (Weds 27) was at his hotel and that in true James fashion, his call was short and sweet (expensive) and that he was hungry and was going to find somewhere to eat!
If you sent James a message on his mobile please don't think you have been ignored. He has left his mobile with me and he will get one sorted in Oz. James will be in touch with you then.

JG, this morning, as I awoke with blurred vision and the remains of too many red vinos in my head I remembered that today was THE day, THE BIG T! I jumped for joy, not because you were leaving, oh no, but because I know you are going to have THE best time! Enjoy, be safe and tell us your tales! Woop woop for New Year! Driffield will be thinking of you, particularly Hooters, I'll request a song for you! Hope you've landed safe and well. Bye! xxx
Mum
Well James - it's almost time for you to leave the UK and head off towards the sun and fun. Dad and I hope that you have the best of times, that it is everything you dreamed for so long it would be, and that you stay safe and well wherever you are. Have a truly great trip. Give Sydney what for on New Years Eve - we will watch out for you! Take lots of care and be safe.
A bientot - New Zealand early May 2007.
Happy, happy New Year - Mum and Dad xxx
