Hi Lynne, glad to hear that things are still going well!! It is Sunday morning here and it's Mother's Day, going out with Vicky Ann to Yorkshire. We are picking her up at 12:30 pm. We haven't seen her since we got back so we will be able to have a good catch up. She's as busy as ever!!

We got back from the Lakes on Friday around 6:00 pm. We had a lovely time and the weather was very kind to us. It was sunny but cold, we did a lot of walking with Ann and Carl and the appartment really nice.

Sorry to hear you got soaked, it can't have been very plesant for you. I'll bet you are tired after the long bus journey. We hope you enjoy your visit to the zoo - keep us posted!

Keep safe, love you loads xxxxx

Hi you
Sorry didnt get to speak to you the other night when the pain was at its worst thought my head would blow off, any way getting better, 400 quid later at the dentist. Sarah had a nice birthday, gave olive press another chance but it was rubbish. at the retreat sunday with the girls, and at jane and rons tonight, making up for a crap week.
Cant beleive you have not called in on you know who, as your so near.
Just checked our euro lottery tickets dont get to excited but i think the winnings come to 14 pound so not life changing, others wise would have got me and all our kids on the next flight. Better let ken know incase hes spending to much skiing. Take care and keep walking.
Love xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi, sounds like you are having some great experiences and I am excited to hear what Austrailia Zoo is like - i think it will be cool. We are fine, just about to go to MK to go to Ikea and John Lewis - I know, keep your excitement contained! Then we are home tonight if you want to skype. Tomorrow we will be home all day but may go for a walk if weather is nice. Paul is great, a stressful week at work but he is fine now, we went out in Harpenden last night so that was nice. Next weekend we are in Cambridge for the Pheasant which we are excited about. Anyway, keep safe and carry on enjoying it - love you loads xxx

So nice to talk to you on skype the other night. (David is on his way round as we speak to install mine.) You looked so well. Something down under must be agreeing with you.

Ian was doing well yesterday morning but haven't had text from him since then.

Looking forward to your next blog.

Lots of love from all of us xxx

Hi Lynne ( Bolton's premier travel chick ! )

Good to see you in high spirits last night at D & J's .. first time skypers ... quite impressed .. made your hair look shorter. Jealous of the sunshine .. although we had big blue skies here this morning ( Tuesday ) but coldish .. now back to clouds a just a bit of blue ( for the dads !! )

Isla's spent a few days in hospital .. projectile vomiting ( hope you're not eating !! ) now on the mend but Jane's mum's taken ill today . Lonely in Australia sounds bloody good !!

Stay safe & enjoy the sights .. once in a lifetime this so go for it !!

Love n stuff

Take Care you must be so proud of yourself!

Hi Auntie Lynne, hope that you are ok and taking care. Mum said that you looked really well when you skype'd the other morning. Sounds like you are missing us and we all miss you too! Have you heard about Gabrielle starting ballet classes? She looks so gorgeous in her pink tutu, wrap around cardy, pink tights & ballet shoes. Its early days but she loves dancing. She keeps practicing her 'good toes' and 'naughty toes'. She is also recognising lady gaga and cheryl cole on the radio though and street dances with her dad when mtv is on so Ive not registered for the national ballet school just yet. Sending lots of love Vix x x XXX From Jon, El & Gabs

Hi Lynne, we can't have you feeling lonely, talk to the Parrots, they say they are very intelligent creatures (probably better than talkingt to some of the human species)!!

My word you are very versatile with your food, that just goes to prove that you are extremely adaptable in any given situation.

It is 4:00 pm on Sunday, Steve has gone to bath his dad and sort his tablets out for the rest of the week. He will also do mum's tablets as we go away to the Lakes tomorrow with Ann and Carl until Friday - really looking forward to the break. However, I secretly wish I was with you Lynne, experiencing different cultures and the breath taking scenery, but the Lakes will have to do for now.

Went shopping in Manchester yesterday with Steve. I bought nothing at all for myself but Steve got, shoes, boots, Jeans, belt and a scarf. I was really fed up, not like me not to buy anything!! Don't worry I'll make up for it another time. We went to Croma for evening meal and I had a few wines - Steve drove home. I suddenly felt a little brighter!!

I see Vicky Ann's managed to blog you today, she's so excited with her new venture, it's keeping her focused, but I think she's missing you and wishes she could have spent a little longer with you!!

Please, please don't get lonely and enjoy every minute of your journey. When you get back we'll go to Grill on the Alley - I still owe you a meal!!

Love you loads xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
