Really nice to hear from you today, Glad that u2 have passed ur diving and going on the advanced course. To say I am gutted is such an understatment. I have added some of the pics you sent plus one of Holly. If you doemail any more across, maybe of the group I will add them. If Lisa/Ossie etc have any pics of late I will add them if they send or pop round with them. Anyway keep safe and away from them string Rays (crikey). Went running today with Mum round the lake at whittlingham, got to try and keep young. As with Marks mum, the house is quiet especially as Corrina only pops in for 2 nights a week but hey! the lack of mess!!!! Miss you loads xxxxxx Mum and Dad

Wont be goi8ng to Cambodia, but while we are in the area if you were to ask us to join you in Australia..............we might take you up on it.
Seriously though we do miss you both ( I was told to mention that )
Love and all that,
Your granddad Terry B

Hi Mel and Mark,
I am really glad you are safe, and chilling by the beach and doind your scuba leosons.
Its not very nice weather wise here but cant expect to much for this time of year,bu it was hot yesterday.
As you know went out with anne and mandy last night very good night,we went to chicargos and ignite and branigans not that many people about.Still had a nice time though.
It was really good to speak to you the other morning its like a ghost town in this house what with corrina comming home only twice a week.
Got to just tell you this in chicargos last night they have christmas trees up,they are getting earlier and earlier.sad
Anyway will close now hollys ok and hi to mark and mel glad youre better love you loads x x x x x x x x x x x Anything you need you know we are here x x 2

We enjoy hearing of your adventures in our Thailand, we have been to many of the places you have, and have confirmed our booking to return in Feb. 2007, staying a few days in Bangkok ( the place I love ) then flying down to Koa Samuri for a week, then flying on for another week at Cha-Am where we had a week earlier this year

Hear you had cloudyy skies yesterday, hate to tell you we had wall to wall sunshine. Sure you will enjoy snorkeling, mind the sting rays at the Barrier Reef though.

Have a great time where ever you go, Norwich will still be here when you get back

Hi u2, to say we are envious is an understatment, hope the scuba diving goes well. Are the people you hanging with from uk or worldwide? It does sound great. Mum out again tonight with Anne and Mandy (Lisa' mum) They'll be pissed! Gave bloood last night they asked your whereabouts, I told them its a bit awkward to say the least. Got pic of needle goping in as I knew the nurse and it was her first day of using needle, I will try to put it on sit LOL. Anyway it goes without saying hve fun and stay safe.
Hamster got injured in big car crash, not your hamster but jounalist from top gear nick named hamster, yours is fine.

Love mum and dad xxxxxxx
