Hi you two

It now sounds as if you are on holiday-you are obviously enjoying yourselves too much Haha. Our holiday now seems a distant memory except for the pictures so make sure you look after yours as they will be lovely keepsakes. Mum will have to have another BBq so we can all see them -I'll tell her later!!

Back to school tomorrow cant believe the time has gone so quickly. We now have the nice warm weather just in time for the children to go back to school- as always.

Keep enjoying yourselves keep clicking away -so many pictures to take

love

Jo and Kev xx

PS Tom and Tasha have brought another house, just waiting for the paperwork to go through - broke forever !! Tasha has just come back from Dublin and Sam has just come back from Ibiza!!

Hiya

Just read todays message and as mum said in her reply it also reminded me of our visit to Krakow. It is unbelievable what people put up with to survive, it makes me feel both sad and somewhat guilty; it makes me realise how lucky we are to live where we do.

As you said you will be taking so many experiences with you when you go back in the classroom keep building on them.

Tasha is in Dublin at the moment, went today, she and her friend has booked a trip to see the vikings so I dread to think what that entails, I'm sure we will soon hear about it.

Hope Martin is feeling better and not missing out on too much. Mum has already booked our next trip, off to Paris-Fat club trip, we owe the tin so much money!!! No ball gowns this time but at the moment we are not fitting into them very well.

Love to you both

enjoy

Hi Dan and Martin, it all sounds a great adventure i wish i was there, if you have'nt been try to go to the palace it is like no other you have seen very 60's.Also take the trip up the river it makes a great day out. Keep safe love P and Rx

Hi love, so proud of you as you must be going out and about on your own whilst Martin recovers from his flu (was it 'Man' flu which is so much worse than normal!) They say experiences change people in so many ways and you will both be changed by the things you are doing and seeing. I love the idea of you reading English to children for a TV Crew ... you will have experience in abundance for your next Teaching application.... even if it is a little diverse. Your reaction to the War Museum sounds like ours when we visited the Autswich concentration camp in Krakow, it is hard to fathom that human beings can survive such misery and cruelty, the tragedy is that thousands and even millions don't ... all in the name of War! Well, you both continue to enjoy yourselves and most importantly STAY SAFE. Bank Holiday weekend coming up and of course it continues to rain!! Love to you both xx

Hey Dan,

I hope Martin is felling better now so he can get back out and enjoy things as much as you are.

Thought I would do a quick post to let you know I now have the keys to my flat - finally! Going out to get some paint in a moment.

Different sides of the world but the weather is the same. It's chucking it down here as well.

Take care

Hey guys,

Great to see you're still having a great time, all the photos and blogs are great for seeing what you've been up to although i dont know what half of the pics are of! Im sure you'll explain it all once you're home again tho.

Keep enjoying yourselves and keep the blogs updated.

Take care xxx

Hi ya

Your adventures sound amazing and yes Im sure mum and I would enjoy purchasing a few ball gowns for our next party!!

We have also had a lovely time on the cruise doing lots of great things. We climbed the water falls in Jamaica (so funny, we have some great pictures) and rode on huge rubber rings down what is known as the lazy river. This is suppose to be a very relaxing experience but due to the recent rain it moved very quickly and this lasted for 45mins!!- a few bruises by the end of it but it was great. We also hired 4x4 jeeps in Mexico and snorkeled in St Thomas where we saw turtles and sting ray-again we have great pictures to show everyone, I know they are all so excited and cant wait!!

We have all eaten too much food and drank too much alcohol, John (dad) is eager to get everyone on the scales so he can fine us and put the money towards our next trip-Paris I think by eurostar -this will be a new experience for mum and dad.

We are all very tired as we only arrived home midday today, our last trip was in Fort Lauderdale (sunday) before we went to the airport. We went to the Everglades where we rode on a very fast air boat to see the alligators, we saw 2 in the water. I thought I was in a scene from a 007 movie as the boats moved so fast through the water, everyone enjoyed it but I was really scared!

Keep enjoying yourselves

love

Hi Dan and Martin!

Glad to hear your having a great time, the time you spent with the elephants sound amazing!

Our parents are now on their cruise and wanted you to know that they had arrived safely. Your mum has asked me to let you know that the internet on the ship is really bad and so they might not be in contact for a few days. She will try and find a internet cafe once on shore and see if she can email you then.

Kepp enjoying yourselves!! Take care, Tasha. x

Hey guys,
