Derry's review;The best time I had was when I went horse riding in Ecuador. The horse I rode was called Lucas. He was a brown horse and he was led by a man called Wilson. On Lucas I walked I trotted and I even cantered. The place I really liked was the Galapagos Islands. My best buddy was called Soledad. We went on a ship called the Galapag…

Bill Sally and Jack Just done 8 miles along the cliff top back to Lyme with the whole crew. Now necking bottles of Hobgoblin with Dickus and nursing our sore knees.Obviously we ended up talking about absent "Lymies" and your names cropped up. Enjoy the last few days of your trip... love Bill, Sally and Jack

Phil M Glad your having a good time.... What's the top speed of that beast? if you're being chased by a state trooper it can get up to 75, but only downhill and then with a full waste tank. so if you want to outrun the cops, you gotta c**p yourself bigtime first!

Katharina The new photos of you milking cows are just great. It looks so very Austrian ;) Sorry that I haven't written sooner. I've been travelling around Austria a bit but my holidays are over now: today's been my first day at work. hurray, getting up at 6am! Hope you're all fine!!! Have a great time! Lots of love, Katharina ps.: I can't believe Derry's teacher was called hansi! It must have been a fake name!!! :)

Jill Driving licence found and will be on its way on Monday to the Duncans. It's a wonder PC Plod didn't come and get me as I was rifling through your study this evening - with the light on - but clearly no-one noticed! Found it in an unfiled pile of papers (just like at our house!). Thanks for the postcard from Portillo - it looks and sounds fantastic. Do you think we can get there on airmiles for our weekend??! Siena and Finn are in the team for Junior League final - it's up already! Gala is in Wolverhampton on our wedding anniversary - that solves the problem of what to do this year anyway. Fish and plant are still alive. Think our weather is the same as yours - the rain bit anyway if not the steaming temperatures. Enjoy the next few weeks and see you next month.
