Angela Newton Hi James and Liz - hope all is well with you both - I do actually get updates from your Mum, James, but just thought I'd ask anyway! All is well here in Nottingham and London - just to let you know that Laura gave birth to two beautiful boys, Nathaniel (Nat) and Joseph (Joe) late Monday evening - so your fairy godmother is now a grandmother too! Love to you both and do keep in touch. Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMES for later this month. Angie xx

aaron YO YO YO. hows it going? Hows your foot liz - did you get it checked out? The only reason jim wouldnt get eatern by a shark is cos he'd taste too much of malt loaf! Had a great time in indo - few problems, snapped boards, ear infections and sun burn, but all good. Back home now and straight into the 5mm wettie! Was really good to see you guys over there. Take care and enjoy yourselves!

Mike i read it all Liz! i can't believe you gutted you missed the snow, i'll happily swap locations with you. good work on eating snails Mike

Mark & Claire Lovin' the blogs & photos! But you think you're having fun? You should see this spreadsheet i'm working on at my desk... Yeh, I can feel the jealousy...

Abbie Aw you guys, love the Indo pics - almost want to be back there! I say almost because actually it's great to be home, have even had quite a bit of snow to really remind us we're out of the tropics! Anyway, my birthday today so I'm celebrating with a job IV at RD&E - great! Could either be a great birthday or a bummed out one, will let you know! Much love to you both xxx

Claire & Mark Hi you two.... Is great to read your traveling tales and see your beautiful photos.... especially your visit to Pat and Martins.... they look well... look forward to your next installment from Indo, Claire x

Mike Liz you really write a good blog, its much more interseting than 'Travel Weekly' that i'm forced to read for work. i guess you are now in indo so enjoy the perfect and be careful at 'lacerations' jim! have a great time and don't spend to much in the hugely overpriced internet cafes they have there. Mike
