Was hoping to see a diary entry from you today. Hope all is well. You're hopefully in Bangkok now for the last night. I just have to say take care with your backpack tomorrow at the airport don't let it out of your sight ( I know you know but I just had to say it). Hopefully will see a diary entry soon but take care and have a safe journey tomorrow. Love you lots x

It has been a hectic week in a mother sort of way. Joe is now on his travels, he is now on a coach from Toulouse in France, on his way to Andorra to ski for a week. He is a bit nervous as he organised the trip for him and his friends and doesn't want it to go wrong. As you are proving, you just have to get on with it and enjoy the good bits and forget about the bad bits. Josh is on his way to the Isle of Wight on his girlfriend's uncle's private cruiser. Adam is recovering from a night out on the town!! Your pictures are brilliant and your journals are great. Like everyone else looking forward to seeing the Lady boy pictures!! Hello to Danyi and ChiChi.x

Hello Mat Photo's are really great,Winter is definitely too long here , I could do with some of the sunshine you're getting. I hope you'll remember to slap the sunscreen on everyday even when it looks overcast. Like Leah (Hello by the way if you're reading this. Hope you are well. Say hello to the rest of the family and big hello from Megan to Amber) I would also like to see some pictures of Jim looking like a lady. It was nice speaking to you on Saturday even though the line was bad (not sure if that was our phone or the distance). As you know it's half term next week and i've got the week off hooray I might even get some decorating done. Lots of love XXX

I'm really jealous of the swinging rope! Mum and dad still haven't got me a swing for the garden and I'm nine! were there snakes in the rocks near the lake? In Italy near rocks in the mountains you can find snakes everywhere. See you in the summer Dany xxx

Hi Matti, We have eventually caught up with the 21 century even if it is by proxy and read your journal. Your holiday puts a new light on our month in Malta, we feel like the poor relations. Will you be back in time for our 50th anniversary (Easter) we hope so? If you are not enjoy the rest of your holiday anyway. We will get in touch with you again when we get near one of these new fangled contraptions that some call com-puters. Love Gran and Grandad

Ha you were worried about me. Ha hA. I don't really have farengitus but i did have a bad cold for a while; I even think i even neally wnet deaf in english on friday which was funny. I am only a bit jealous its the waterfalls and monkeys that do it i think. Apparently my spelling on these comments have been awful but i don't care im not going through and checking them. I think you just made a new freind(chichi) lol. Any way we have been clearing out the house today which was funny. we found your old year 3 journal with the worst pictures ever which you drew inside; you were only ten but still they were terrible ha. Im in your room writing this its really dark and i couldn't get the tv to work. I wish i had more to say but i don't have much really. Ohh i forgot to tell you some aliens landed in fordingbridge and has held everyone hostige until you return, ohh and the school blew up but apart from that things have been much the same as when you left. Hurry home or the world is doomed. What am i talking about i will punch myself for you now. Any way seriously have fun good to hear your last message was'nt a moan. Have fun C u in 3 months :)> still trying to grow that beird!!!
