christina Hello!! I cant wait till you come home and i can come and see you! Ive been thinking about you loads lately (when i dont have homework to do!) Byexxx

Michelle Hi you two, how are you both doing. Enjoying Phuket? I hope so...have you managed to test out the nightlife. How was the Lady Boy show. I will look forward to seeing the many pictures. Take Care and love to you both xxxxxxxxxx

mg hiya l&l glad everything is going fine, you must have collected a few air miles by now, maybe extend your stay with them...only kidding. christmas is upon us again so when you find time your exertions why not drop us a line and tell us what u want for crimbo....met marky mark in the gym today....maybe he'll be my training buddy...what doya think. bye for now LG phone home

mally. g G'day to ya both, now then Lee and Lynz how's it going?....well you are finally coming to your last few hours of a wonderful six months in the land of Oz and we know you have had a great time from the pics on your blog....we have also had a good time too, following the Max 'n' Padd....upps errrr camper van for the last month along the east coast....I have the map pinned to the wall. We think you have both done a tremendous job shifting that jalopy two and a half thousand miles in the stifling heat through all the towns and places along the road from Cairns to Sydney, avoiding any mishaps on the way not to mention the perilous sharks and stingrays of the Great Barrier Reef when snorklling and skinny dipping in the Coral sea (that reminds me) and taking the opportunities of pitching the camper in locations like 30 degree + Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast....I've read them all on the blog post. Well that good 'ol camper van sure didn't let you doon I hoped you gave it a kiss goodnite....Shania did. One thing that I've noticed on the photos is the 'ol boro shirt 'Up The Boro' it gets everywhere....I can't believe a dodgy t-shirt bought from a shifty shop next door to Angels in Redcar can appear in so many exotic places in the world....I mean Miami, Los Angeles, Fiji and now seen snorklling off the coast of Queensland....where next? Well. Next whistle-stop....Thailand, Bangkok then Hong Kong not bad eh! Hope it goes as well as the rest of your journeys have. Now then, I don't think I've mentioned this uptill now....but we can't wait to meet up with both in London in four....yes that's correct four weeks time, I don't want to wish it away for you but it has been a long 48 weeks and we have missed you (although seeing you on the web-cam makes it feel closer to you both) and we, that all the families are looking forward to buying you a few pints Lee and a few glasses of wine for Lynz....just the job eh!....oh that reminds me, talking 'bout jobs (not Joseph). I was in the town the other day when I was passing the Job-centre-plus when I thought....the power of thinking....wahey....jobs....work....work....jobs....so I popped in and grabbed a few job applications....I just thought you would be interested....maybe find a small cafe and fill 'em in...you'll need one....it'll help you to buy things....always thinking of how I can help a person me. Back home in Redcar the nights are now beginning to draw in, so to occupy myself I thought and decided to give your bedroom a paint and facelift. I was giving it a lick of winter blue when I suddenly started to notice all these indentations in the wall....ummm I thought to myself what can all these dents be so I summoned your mum for an opinion....dumbstruck....couldn't figure it out when suddenly we noticed the Sony play station 'logo' embedded in the plaster....I took a closer look 'an realised it was your bloody play station controller....they were a perfect match....'blow me over' now I know, I have always wondered why you had so many Whites Stripes and Lennon posters on the walls....crikey Lee how many football matches did you lose?....always wondered what was all the shouting was about....well the plaster has been repaired and the room is almost finished and looking smart....but minus the Sony. Have a G'Day Mate. 30 days 'an counting, sorry....joking aside have a great remainder and do the things you have planned to do and keep up with the journal and pics 'n vids....they've fantastic. hasta luego, adios. luv from your ma and pa xxxxxxxx

Michelle Hi Guys, How are you both doing? Sorry I haven't been in touch for a while, but I have just come back from my jollys, had a lovely time, just a shame the weather didn't stay hot for our final week, but there again it give us a chance to see a little bit more of Sunny Beach.Hope you are both well and are enjoying your travels in the camper van - sounds like fun. I bet it is bliss now that you guys do not have to work - it is my first day back today, and to be fair it is not going too badly.Really looking forward to seeing you both and I am really sorry to say but I am counting the weeks!!! Missing you lots.Everything is fine here, take care and speak to you both soonLots of love Michelle Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

aunty june hi Lee and Linz! hope you are both ok. uncle roy is working and i'm enjoying my last week of freedom before i go back to school next week, which is a bit of a downer! ive enjoyed my holiday but the weather has only just started to get better - it has been really rubbish this summer. we were at the caravan last week and it was the first weekend we have sat out in our deckchairs - we still haven't got the courage to swim in the sea - it'd give your uncle roy a heart attack! no doubt its a bit warmer on Bondi beach but probably not as scenic ha ha! all is ok here - james has just moved out of his flat and is looking for a new one - laura is getting ready to do some work experience in an infant school in Brightlingsea before she starts her course - they both seem happy at the moment. we all enjoyed seeing you at the wedding- it was a really special occasion and was only spoilt by Lee having to miss out poor lad! anyway it won't be long before you're both back in good old England complete with rain, cold winds in summer (we actually put the heating on the day we got back from italy - we were frozen!) and work - no doubt you're really looking forward to it! enjoy the rest of your stay and make the most of the sunshine, lotas of love, aunty june and uncle roy xxxx

happy 21st lee nowthenson, happy 21st birthday we hope you are having a great time celebrating your special day down under in the land oz. it's your first birthday we haven't shared together....but you wanted it and that's the way it is....urh....your a big boy now and besides that you have a special girl in lynz to party with and in one of the most romantic cities in the world....it might be the shortest day down under but i know you'll make it a long night so, therefore, have a bloody good time. but before you go out on the lash it may be worthwhile remembering to signpost the wardrobe and the toilet doors....wahey, hic..hic....you never know there's always a first time. we hope you enjoy opening your cards and pressies and we know lynz will make it special day too. lots of love and missing you both love mum and dad. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
