Tim Hey Andy and Sarah....... How you both doing??? Missed you the last few weeks!!!! Love Tim and Ruth x

Andy Oh forgot to say, I've got the flight numbers off your mom and dad. So don't worry :-)

Andy Hi honey, you all packed for the trip home? Hope you have a safe journey and I'll see you at Heathrow. Should I hold a sign up so you recognise me?!! Heehee! See you very soon xxxxxx Oh and Lynne chocolate cake sounds like a very good idea. You'll have no complaints from me and I'm pretty confident you wont have any from Sarah either. Bye till Tuesday :-)

Mom and Dad Hope your trip to the mountains was good (you haven't been yet but by the time you read this you will have.) I shall have withdrawal symtoms when you get back as i am used to sitting down on my comp every morning to check up on you. I am going to a fete on mon as your dad is playing with the band there. i hope it doesnt rain, but i havent taken my library books back yet, so as long as i have the car keys i should be able to stay dry. The hardest part will be not buying the nice homemade cakes. Suppose i could buy a chocolate one for you and Andy to eat the day after? Will think about that. Mike is back on wed as well so he could eat it too, ......mmm i think i might if i see a nice one. Shan't buy any ornaments tho - perhaps a book if ther's a good one. Right - cup of tea time. See you soon XXXXXXXX

the baker clan It's rained all day,Esme's hair just doesn't look it's best. dave's gone to get curries etc from Ken's take away obviously a big wait . He's been gone ages. We've got healthy fruit salad for pudding and unhealthy scones with clotted cream after that. Your Mom did my dinner today, she hasn't lost her touch. She's working hard on Atkins, i'm working hard to get on Atkins. Hope you get to Hillsongs, Dad's doing overtime to pay for the taxi fare so don't worry about the price- you may not get the chance to go again and it will probably be the nearest we get to go. My niece has been thereI can say. That nearly makes me important. take care, keep your things close and make sure you get those connections. will see you soon, love you Gill, dave, rachel, Dave, Mat, sarah, Elsa, Zacchary and \esme.

Mommy Just got back from the tea shop. Its ten past 2 in the morning where you are so youll be in bed now (i hope). Lovely tea shop, but we had a cabaret act thrust upon us - the boys dad started to pretend he was Frank Spencer with raincoat, wig, and false bare bottom. We didnt know where to look!!! Oh dear - I dont think Ill take Heather there until she's finished teaching the youngest son or she would be too embarrased at parents evening. Have a lovely day tomorrow Love you XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Mom and Dad Hello you, I had a call from Mike yesterday evening. He is enjoying the Scillies, not too much rain so far. I'm hoping he stays dry. He had a few messages for you - Pip, who was in your dorm at Christmas says hello (Mike met her at Soul Surviver). Matt Beams is in Mikes group at the moment, and he says hello too. He also met Olly at Soul S. and found out that he's finishing youth work in London, and is going to be a Church of England vicar - with the collar and all. In Bristol apparently. Hope that was interesting! I am having a quiet few days pretending to clean up. Going to a tea shop this afternoon with Sue - I shan't have any cake tho - had enough of that in Cornwall to last a long time. I will try and get a bit of interesting gossip for you. Hope you have some lovely days before you get back. Kate from my gym wasinterested in your adventures - she says you must take advantage of any trips going while you are there. So off you pop! Glad to hear you are back safe, Andy - hope you drove very slowly!!! I like slow! Portland sounds lovely. Hope work isnt too bad to go back to. Well, we shall see both of you next week - cant remember the exact days - will look it up. God bless from us here xxxxxxxx

Andy Hey honey, I'm back now. Made it in one piece. Got soaked on the way back, rained all the way! And i mean really rained! Sounds like your having fun. How was the flight to Sydney? Hope the hostel is okay? And CLEAN? I've got to go back to work in a few days, joy. I had a good time in Weymouth. Went over to Portland and my mobile phone switched to a French network. I'd have been charged international rates if I made a call from their, even though I'm still in the UK. Done some good walks. I went to one little cove and walked to the top of the cliffs. Got so for and there was a fence to stop you going any further, possibly due to it being dangerous, it was okay though i just climbed over and carried on to the edge. Got some cracking photos! There was a carnival on Wednesday in Weymouth. The Red Arrows done a display over the beach, it was great. Well probably great if your a man not so much if your a woman. Staring at fast moving things generally doesn't interest women. Not that I mean that to sound sexiest, but generally is the way!!! Adam and Anna had their baby. Joseph Charlie Greenslade, born on 17th August at 7.36am, 7lb 8oz. There all home now. Saw him yesterday, very tiny, but then i suppose babies are!!! Anyway hope your having fun, keep me posted. Missing you, see you next week. Take care :-) xxx

Mom and Dad Hello, Well Dad is away for a day or two, but he will still be checking your site. I've just been looking at the Sydney tourist spots, and the Toronga Zoo seems to pop up a lot. You will have to put aside a day to find Hillsongs - we always do a 'practise run' when on holiday and want to find a particular church. (If you need to get a taxi from the railway station, then it will be worth it - keep an eye on money and let us know if you have enough - send a text with balance if you like). I would also have a go at phoning them first if there is a no. on the website. It just needs a bit of Sarah determination!!!! Hope Sydney is interesting. Im going to look at the webcam before I log off - you never know, you might just be walking past the Opera house. Love you, from us back home XXX

Nan HELLO SARAH I HAD DINNER WITH AUNT GILL TODAY HAVE READ ALL YOUR MESSAGES TOOK ME AGES ANYONE WHO READS THEM WILL THINK YOU ARE VERY POPULAR CANT BE BOTHERED TO FIND THE FULL STOP SO THE MESSAGE IS ALL ONE SENTENCE HOPE SYDNEY IS A BIT BETTER NOW YOU WILL HAVE TO DO A LOT OF SIGHT SEEING SEE YOU SOON LOVE YOU NAN

Ja and Laura are in Ireland I'm in Kingswinforsd with my happy cats and Mart and Viv are coming to tea later. Get all your sight seeing done and come on home safely. Love you and see you soon antygill dave , Elsa, Zacchary and Esme.

M and D Hi there We have to clean and take caravan back today - yukky. I am working myself up to it, as well as avoiding all thoughts of interesting food, as the Cornwall indulgencies were too much to resist as usual. I did try!! (a bit). I have found a really good webcam that shows the opera house and bridge etc, and you can control it for 10 mins at a time. Had lots of fun on that last night. (obviously hoping to see you just happen to walk past, but it was about 6.30 am your time so i should know better) Hope you are enjoying your touring.God bless you, love you, usXXXXXXXX

M and D Cus you managed a photo in a certain theatre once !!!!!!!!!!!!! Love you xxxxxxxxxx

Mommy and Daddy at home Hello we are home! Glad to get your text this morning, i forwarded it to lots of people!!! You might have had some random replies. Traffic was bad on way back - took us 7 hours - is that a record. We have to unpack on our own too - hmmmm. Hope you have fun in Sydney the Blue Mountains are supposed to be good. Very tired now, hope you find Hillsongs ok. I'm sure youll get a sneaky photo.

Mom & Dad in Cornwall Wednesday 4.45pm. Today we are in Truro, presently sitting in the library cos they give you 30 mins free internet access (nice people). We waved goodbye to Dave, Gill, Mat & Sarah this morning and then had a nice cooked breakfast courtesy of Gary & Heather. In Truro we have visited the Cathedral (again) where a very knowledgeable guide told us lots of interesting things. Such as the Cathedral is kinky! No, not like that. It is built slightly twisted so that it didn't stretch into the busy main road. You Mom says you must at least paddle in the sea before you come home so that you have sampled the Pacific from both sides. I'm not sure she would paddle in the sea in the winter though! Hope the packing goes well and the flight up to Sydney is trouble free. The airport situation in the UK is starting to get better. Christy should be over the Atlantic now on her way home although she was messed around over the departure time. Take care, God bless you. Love you loads xxxxxxxxxxxxx.
