Mum Molyneaux We've thoroughly enjoyed reading about all the countries you've visited, but as you can imagine we're counting the hours until we see you both. Today (Tuesday) has been quite emotional so far, as we have just said cheerio to Jeanine, John, Catherine and Duncan, who are off to Canada and we're not sure when we will next see them. See you both VERY soon! Mum and Dad and Mrs. C xxxx

Mum Molyneaux Hello again you two. Well, your adventure is almost at an end - we've certainly ejoyed following your travels (but probably not as much as you two have enjoyed travelling!). Everyone is looking forward to seeing you both again (including our Princess (Mrs C!). Will explain that cryptic remark next time we speak! I have a theory as to what breed she is. Take care, love to you both. Mum and Dad M xxxx

Mum Molyneaux Hello you two, just thought I woild send a message to let you know how things are going. Finished our jewellery class, but am signing on again for you Helen, and me. Stacy can't be taught anything else! Think you will enjoy it. Mrs C behaving herself, apart from the mad 10 minutes she insists on having every now and then. Everyone else is fine, looking forward to seeing you both soon. Lots of love, Mum, Dad and Mrs CXXXXX

Sie Molyneaux (or mum!) Hello you two, Well, what a week I've had. I have been sent so many flowers I ran out of vases and toyed with donating some to Church! I have also received loads and loads of lovely presents, the most special ones being a beautiful black opal brooch and and an extremly versatile holdall for all my night school jewellery stuff. Got that many bottles of wine I could open my own wine shop! I could manage having a special birthday again - it's quite nice! Hope you enjoy New Zealand, shall speak soon, take care. Mum and Dad and Mrs C XXX
