Hi Mark and Alaine,

Good to see you posting new journal entries and seem to be having loads of fun.

Not much news from here at the moment, Jay seem to be having some fun working with Dad. He cooked a meal last night, was pasta with all sorts of bits and pieces in it. Was quite tasty.

I am sitting here thinking what to write. I think we must have pretty uneventful things at the moment. Not much seems to be happening at the moment.

Dad says how about some pictures of your travels.

Have a safe journey to Sydney. Look forward to you next journal entry.

Love 'n' hugs

Mum and Dad

hello you rubbish! working with dad is cool, seems pretty easy so far!have you seen any killer baders or anything yet? i heard theres some kind of scary beast that lives in sydney. its called the killer mongoose of woe from the dark side,could be a relative of them dodgy badgers. witch you seem to have avoided WELL DONE FOR THAT! coz they can be sneeky little b*****s.anyways thats enough stupidness from me. give us a ring you slags! speak to you soon jay xx

Hello,

Hi Alaine and Mark

How are you?? It's very boring here except from Les Miserable rehearsals which are fun!!! I hope you are having a great time and i will speak to you later
love Ellie x

Hi Alaine & Mark

Sounds like you're having a great time - almost as much fun as Dumfries and Galloway in October.

Life here in Somerset goes on much as usual. I'm just off to babysit for Frankie. My exciting day has included a visit to the dentist and Norman Mullins' funeral. I won a teddy bear in the Children in Need raffle in the Nat West (you can never have too many teddy bears!!!!). Had a thrilling weekend - worked up the Poachers Saturday morning - everyone says hi!! Wendy has got a new dog - his name is Billy and he's a 12 week old golden retriever. Just so you can't say I never tell you anything, Frankies cat had to be put down (appendicitis), Jerry Stott died (hadn't been well for a while), hope this doesn't sound too morbid!!

On a more cheerful subject, have nearly finished christmas shopping - might even start writing Christmas cards before December is here. Looks like we're in for a quiet one, as Frankie and the Girls are off to Ashtead, and Mark and Kim are working. Jenny and I will stay in our pyjamas all day with a bit of luck.

Anyway that's enough excitement for one day.

More later xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Its so good to hear from you two. It like relief. Have a great time in Bali, and most of all stay safe.

Love 'n' hugs

Mum and Dad xxxxxxxxx

Wondering what you two are up to as you have not posted any journal entries for the past week.

Lots of love 'n' hugs

Mum and Dad

Just to let you know a bit of news from home. Not much of it really, most exciting thing that has happened (apart from your journal) is that Heather went out on Friday and slipped over and managed to dislocate her knee (ouch). Jason has been around the flat looking after her and Ben. She has a leg brace and crutches. She has to go back to the hospital on Monday. She was in the Anglers when it happened, much to her embarrasment. The ambulance men carried her out on a stretcher.

Went out with Phil last night and had a really nice greek meal, Kleftico,and char grilled pork things. Nice evening.

Pleased to see your having a great time, and the pics are great. I lost the ones from Chaing Mai (alas I didnt save them the way I should have).

Keep up the journal.

Missing you both loads.

Love and hugs

Mum and Dad xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
