Now I can see your having a fab time and well the postcards are good....Still havent got the camera back yet and the photos. Keep having fun xxx

Hi John,

We got your postcard here in NHP and everyone is really worried that you're in the Phillippines which we hear in a state of emergency!! Only joking, no one really cares!! The office is a much quieter place without you, largely because your phone has stopped ringing (although I'm sure your Dad called for you on Monday, did you tell him your were going??). I think Paul must be missing you cos I've heard a few people saying that they wished you'd taken him with you but when I sent this mail address around the dept. last week three people asked me who you were (and one of them was Mike) so I don't think you made that great an impression. Anyhoo, thinks are just great here, hope you're doing well and having a good time and for Christ sake can you stop going on about that bleedin elephant ride. Take Care and best wishes from all those you left behind.

to carry on theme of quote of the week:

Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living." - Miriam Beard

We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open." -- Jawaharal Nehru

"The journey not the arrival matters." -- T. S. Eliot

Nice photo John...didnt realise No 2 was with you! And are there any photos of the two of you...and a movie....only happen to you! Was lovely talking to you and keep having an amazing time.

Hey John! Hope you are having a fabulous time and havent fallen down, gotten lost or arrested just yet. Knowing you and your past adventures, I am sure d all of the above have already occurred. Good luck! Be safe and I cant wait till you make your way to the states. Much love and hope to talk soon!

Thought this would remind you of the nottingham days...

Quote of the week

Spirit of place! It is for this we travel, to surprise its subtlety; and where it is a strong and dominant angel, that place, seen once, abides entire in the memory with all its own accidents, its habits, its breath, its name." -- Alice Meynell

"Extensive traveling induces a feeling of encapsulation, and travel, so broadening at first, contracts the mind." -- Paul Theroux

Good luck on your trip zab as john is jinks and will end up catching some tropical disease and not be able to walk for six months. I am so jealous as I am stuck in England working 9 to 5. Seriously have a good time and enjoy your freedom while it lasts. Also try not to push us all in depression with emails on how amazing the experience has been. John will continue quote of the week on the message board. Have a great trip and zab make sure insurance is update you will need it with john. Good luck

Good Luck to you both on this exciting trip...Its not that Im jealous because I just loveeee doing monthly accounts so much I wouldnt leave them for the world. Have a fab time and (although this makes me sound old) be careful! Love me x
