Hello again. Just thought I'd come on and see if any more photos/messages and lo and behold, the dreds look great! Who did them? Presumably not Jack.

Anyway missing you lots as always, all well here with 4 weeks to go!!!!!

Hope to MSN again soon, Lily enjoyed seeing you!!!

Lots of love L J L

Hello! Hope you're both ok and are looking forward to the open road if you've not already begun the next part of the trip! Good to hear what you've been up to so far and seeing all the photos, awesome stuff! Take care, rach x

Hello! You must be beginning to believe that we have fallen off the earth. Sorry...just get not a lot of time online these days what with not sitting very easily behind any sort of desk, owing to a large baby being in the way!! Anyway, thanks for Jamie's card and bday text, he was very touched you remembered (and in the right month too!). Lily sends a big hug and wants to see you soon! She can say 'Matt' very clearly but is still working on 'Cal'. Maybe by August!! Anyway all well here, 7 weeks until the baby comes if all goes to plan (tho I have developed a strange paranoia that it is going to be early for some reason!!). We miss you, sounds like you're having fun though. Lots of love Lizzy Jamers Lilybet and bumpy bump

Hi both, Just hope that you are continuing to have a great time...working hard, playing hard etc. We're beginning to get nostalgic about you both - how far away is August now?? We miss you both, but have fun and never forget your other family back in West Cross. Loads of love, Meryl and family xx

Hi both, Glad to see that you are now legal and that you have some money coming in. Your jobs sound lovely and stimulating...much better than in Swansea anyway Cal. Latest pics are great. Matt...is that a double chin I saw on your face?? Cal...you looked quite relaxed and natural cuddling Africa! What are your plans? Are you staying in NZ until you come back to the UK or will you continue with your travels? Whatever...have fun and come home with loads of stories to tell us about it all. Love you loads as always and miss you (especially your lil sis Han) Meryl xxx

Lovely photos! Our mandarin trees were bigger than those! Must be new ones... Glad to see you keeping up family traditions. Think you are getting the best deal with the weather so far this summer - another wet day down south today. Couldn't work outside - had to go out for coffee. Oh dear what a pity, never mind. See you again soon Love Us xxx

Happy New Year to you both am enjoying keeping up with your travels.A hi from Jodi too.God bless you both with travelling mercies as you continue your trek.x

You are indeed on the rock! They met one night in the silver light on the road to Mandalay, you know xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Aloha Mon Bonne Hombres! Good to see that after 2 months of each other you still like each ohter. Sounds like loads of stuff has already happened, and i'm sure you've got a lot left to do. Good luck with finding jobs and all that. I got a text the other night asking me where i was, and i text back asking who it was and i got the reply "Edgey"...I was a bit spun out, and that night i also had a dream that both of you were back in the UK and we went out for a drink, but when i woke up in the morning i was a bit gutted. Ahh well, take care both and catch ya soon. Doey & Rachel Mush!!

Players! sounds like your having a great time! especially liked the fiji stories. As for the camera sorry to hear about your loss but then you could have deleted over a 100 of your wedding photos by accident trying to be a smart arse with technology! Yip I did it but I'm still alive to tell the tale! get in touch soon and hope your enjoying new zealand you lucky people! Iest

Hi both, Just wanted to say hi and "Blwyddyn Newydd Dda" to you both and your family in NZ. All is well here - the 7 of us are off to Gran Canaria for a week next Monday so we're looking forward to a bit of sunshine and just being together. Got your postcard today...nio longer in Mexico but NZ now! Let us know when you ar ready for the Chinese - our treat! Miss you both loads. Come home soon. Love you both, Meryl xx

Happy New Year to you both and a belated Merry Xmas. Well I've just been catching up on your travels and I am so so jealous. So many good memories. Things are ok here, although I'm gutted to be back in Alexandra House after having 2 weeks off on the pop for Xmas. the only thing keeping me going is that I only have 2 more days left before I get on the big bird myself. Jamie and me are off to Thailand on Monday - YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!! - I'm just a little exited!!! Anyway keep up the good work amigos. Take care x x
