Hi! This is just a quick message since this is "show time". OLHSFPLOS show. Calamity Jane has started. So far so good. Greg your mother is at it again. A Can-Can girl. This time in a bar in Deadwood City. This girl will go places! Amanda whatever will your Gran think? Anybody viewing this should have a look at the website ourladysopera.org. Eye-watering or what? Well if not now, it will be, when they post the pictures of Can-Can girls in full flow.
Love
Dad.

Hello you two,

Gran told me you are both having a great time in Sydney.
Missing both of you,love and kisses.
Sophia and Loganxxxxxxxxx

Hey you guys,

hope you are both doing well, got your email a few days ago Maz - i will reply shortly...promise! Just wanted to send u a quick note to let you know that Anne-marie had a bouncing baby boy yesterday (31st October) at 7:43am. He weighed in at 8 pounds 10 and a half ounces. They have called Christopher. He is a wee smasher. He is the double of Adam - hopefully he'll grow out of that!! Hee Hee!! Both mum and baby are doing well, and are getting ready to leave the hospital today. I will keep you posted on any other news.

Love

Hi,Glad to hear you have both settled into your new jobs,back to reality for a few months,then its back to the open road with many more adventures and lots of wonderful places to see. Just two weeks now until we fly out to OZ(tickets arrived yesterday)trying to blank out the fact we have a 20hr flight ahead of us,and that's only to Perth,the following week its 4hrs to Sydney,that will be no problem,(oh no!!!!!!!!.) It will be great seeing both of you for a few weeks(can't wait) Steven,nicole,sophia and logan all send their love,They now have a laptop,so once they have a connection to broadband they can post their own messages. Gran is still waiting for a date to go in for her knee replacement,they said it would be november,so she should hear from them soon. It was lovely speaking to you yesterday. Just going to do some ironing,what a chore,but it has to be done. will phone midweek, Take care, lots of love Mumxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hello, I thought it about time I posted something else on your web-site. You will know from Mum that the baptism for Beth was a great occasion. Canon Ashe was great in leading us through the sacrament and making it a very spiritual and uplifting experience for all who were there. Well all except Beth who, for part of the time, exercised her lungs. But wouldn't you if someone poured cold water over your head? You two were of course greatly missed and on your return this will be another excuse to wet the baby's head (I.E. for birth and baptism) On another subect I was talking to Ian and Tracy and they are about to move to their new house. They are both looking very well. Nice car by the way Ian! (whatever happend to poor folk?) Talking of which I also saw Kevin's new car, an Alpha GTV 3.2 It is of course too flash and too fast for him so I suggested he gives it to his uncle (John) for safe-keeping but I think his answer was "aye right"! No sense of humour that boy! As you know we also saw Michael and although the circumstances were unhappy (the sad and unexpected death of his cousin Helen) it was really good to see him. If there is good that can come from ill, then the fact that he got to see Beth during his short visit was indeed good. We have some nice photographs of Michael and Kevin which mum may already have sent to you. As I write MC Jim and Beth are now esconced in your house. Oh how the world revolves! I can't keep up with you lot. No doubt they will be in touch and so will I. Love Dad.

Hi there, have just taken some time to look at your Melbourne pics in greater detail. They are fabulous, I think I'm going to show them to some of the children in school next week they will love the wildlife ones. Hope you got the latest photographs I sent from Beth's Christening, it went really well. May was here today for lunch, guess who we talked about? She is really looking forward to her trip, though not to the flight. We went together and checked out the house, it is absolutely fine - no worries. MC & Jim moving in at the weekend. Hope the job situation is fine at your end. Did you get the pics of Sophia & Louise, dad thought he had sent them. If not let us know and we will send them on. Going to stop now, going to Mandarin for dinner tonight. Will speak to you tomorrow morning. Bye and lots of hugs & kisses from Mum.
