Hi Mark and Denise I thought it was about time I posted a message to the two of you. The updated photos and country reviews are great it looks as if you are still having a great time. I must say that the new clean shaven look is better Mark! Cambodia and Vietnam look great and you certainly are getting around. Things here are going fine with the new Ocean diver course progressing well. We have 5 new students including Emma who is getting on well. I am taking Emma on the club trip to Egypt in Septembner so need to get her signed off before then. The temperatures here are getting silly and we are all praying for rain and cold! The heat is OK but only at weekends and when we don't have to work. The diving season is going well and we have a few trips lined up now. Things in Bramley are going well and the pub is getting better and is used more now. Keep up the trip reports and continue to enjoy yourselves.
Regards Mark

Looks like you are still having a great time. I am soooo jealous seeing your pictures with the tiger. It looks just like a bigger version of my two and soppy (not!). Not much news our end. Having a heatwave and temperatures are getting up to 35 degrees - too hot for work! We are off to the annual club Egypt trip in September, this year is El Gouna. I think this will be our last trip for a while! 30 odd people are going which is really great. As usual one or two boats have been blown out, but not as many as some years I can remember. When are you coming back to Blighty then? Chat soon.

Sunny & Hot 16 July
Your holiday is still looking crap. You must be getting bored by now Ha ha! How are you ever going to go back to work. I'm not envious at all. We've got to work out how to do this when the kids are gone.
All OK here. Waiting in baited breath for Jake and Jess exam results. Jake needs 3B's to go and do Law at Surrey. So we're a little nervous. He's going to do some holiday work with Nick this week.
Lol to you Both from Simon & Wendy.
PS I look at your Bankok Pics and realise just how much more you're seeing of the world when i consider the rest of the Pics!

Hi D&M
been a while since i looked and sent you a message - apologies but been soooooooooooooooo busy here.
some wonderful places you are visiting - we'll get there some day but you'll have to come and dog sit for us;)

Carole has been busy installing 5 ensuite bathrooms, laying floors and generally knocking the place about. You wont recognise it when you pass by next time! no need for the blue carpert any more!!

I've left my company and gone solo - scary stuff! But all is going well. Playing lots on the quads and doing lots of socialising - seems to be a festival/band/celebration every weekend now - its hard work keeping up.

Take care and keep enjoying yourselves and get in touch with us when you come back so you can come over and ski/quad bike/raft/cycle or something similar.
take care

Hi you two - your journey and expereinces really excellent to follow and are making me go totally green with envy !!I love the beard Mark - thought Denise had traded you in for new model at first!!!! Honestly how will you ever settle down - when or should I say if you ever end up back at base camp ? both of you look like you have not stopped grinning since you left.

not much happening here really although just had heat wave - been to america twice in last seven months and over to Spain last month to help with gardening !!! does pale into insignificance travel compared to your adventures - only dangerous encounter I made was an aggressive series of plants whicjh definately fight back when they see you coming with a sythe ! Oh forgot went ski ing and lost a stone then put it on two weeks later - went to Bulgaria ! brilliant skiing for average skier some in party thought to easy but not bad especially as skiing in powder up to two feet thick and in cloud with zero viz - sound like a dive at Stony after long weekend !!!
sarajust got engaged so will have to start saving for that she is really happy and not sure when wedding going to be !!! hope your back to come.

Peter on the other hand being a retired free agent has been to Borneo in spring, off with Phil diving for week to Tenerife ( diving not brilliant)and came back from South africa with Karen and Len this morning they went diving with the great whites !
Trouble is they choose term time which is not a time I can leave the Nursery.

Admire you, envy you and wish I was sharing some of it with you.

Can't ait to see you .
Love Lorraine XXX

Hi Denise and Mark, Keeping up to date with your travels, the photos look amazing. Not sure about the beard!!. You look like you are having the time of your lives - so jealous!! All is well here - Lily is growing up so fast it is scary.

Anyway safe travels.

Love Will, Kate & Lily.

It was great to hear from you!! All good here - I am working in a lodge in Darwin for the next 6 weeks and then I'll be going down the west coast to Perth and probably working again there!!! I should make it round to Melbourne by October!! Take care of yourselves and I hope the weather improves!!
