So this is it.....IT'S OVER! We touched down on time at 05.30 yesterday and apologise for not immediately updating the website but the emotion of the day just took over! Not only were Jacqui and Hollie there to greet us but also other daugther, Sally and our Nightmare Grandson, George. We were thrilled to see them all and there was a tea…

Singapore, Singapore

Well we arrived in Singapore 90 minutes late but had an amazingly quick immigration into the Republic of Singapore. This must be the first country we have encountered that actually wants you …

John and Janet Wood Got the details of the site from Mary Carlin. Us stay-at-homes are really taken by the quality of your photos, the detailed info and a view of the world we wouldn't otherwise see. Great stuff - thanks very much

Jax & FG First day of my 2 week holiday! Thought best look at last batch of photo's and leave a final message! Can't believe your home suddenly feels like you've never been away! For those not present at Heathrow 5.30.am Fri 21st july it was indeed and emotional reunion! FG burst into tears at same time as G'ma followed by a loud ahhhhhhhhhhhhh from the crowd of people waiting for their travellers to come thru arrivals! Four and a half months is definitely a long time to be parted and myself and Hollie have decided that if they ever do it again we are definitely going with!!! Hoping to spend some quality time with you over next 2 weeks! (oh no crys G'dad!)! Fairwell message board many thanks for keeping us in touch with our loved ones on their travels. WELCOME HOME MUM & DAD! We didn't miss you at all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Choppy Brays wedding went well as you know. Tortworth court is really lovely and probably the best location for a wedding reception that i have been to. It is a scorching 34 degrees here today, so office life is uncomfortable. Enjoy the last few days of your trip but also be happy that you are coming home safely to a very excited family and that this trip is only the beginning of your retired life. Tinsel and I can't wait to see you at the weekend and to have the Noy clan back together in their home!! Love Chop and Tinselxx

Tim & Margaret Looking forward to seeing you back in blighty. Margaret saw Christine E in church today who brought news of your visit. Fete went well (although I sadly missed it due to GS again) and raised a lot of useful ackers for the tin tabernacle. You have presumably forgotten what work was like. Ho hum - our turn will come. Love T&M

Chris Excuse me - I dont have any fetishes!!! Anyway, in Noy time, it was the middle of the day. (Defend me here guys I need your help!!) Not only suffering from PFS, but also LON (Lack of Noy), so pleased that the only cures are on the homeward leg at long last. Travel safely and enjoy the last few meals. Will you continue to take photos of meals when you get home? Chris xxxx

David S Richard, there is no easy way to break this news to you so here goes! The church fete made ~£2,500! So you had no reason to feel guilty for being away at the time but neither will you be allowed to use this as an excuse for not being dragooned into helping/organising next year. We have all suffered from severe cases of PFS (pre-fete stress) but it was a great all round effort; we were blessed with ideal weather, not blazing hot but no rain, and it all ran like clockwork. Chris was up until 2.00am counting the money but that is one of her fetishes! I hope you and Jill are still having a great time but we are looking forward to seeing you both again in the near future. Best wishes to you both. David

Choppy Italy won the world cup in case you don't know!! Won on penalties. Zidane got himself sent off in a moment of absolute madness and ruined the end of one of the greatest footballing careers of all time! Nadia's wedding went without a hitch and the expected rain held off completely. Beautiful location for a wedding. Kristel looked beautiful in her bridesmaids outfit (show you the photos when you get back) and spent all day dropping hints about us getting married and having babies!!! And so the wedding saga continues with Chris Brays wedding this weekend which should be great!! And then you come home - whoppee!! Hope you have a fanatstic time in Bali and speak soon. Lots of love Chop and Tinselxxx

Jax Hello Bali! Bet the photos will be good when you get to download! Weather here much cooler and cloudy! FG at her dads for the weekend and have a rare saturday off so still in P.J's and its nearing midday!! FG had transfer day on Tues and loved it! More interested in the new boys than the academic side i fear!! We then went to meet her new tutor Mrs Donnovan on Thurs eve she seemed very nice and very young!! Followed by a visit to the gym to see the sixth form art projects on display i asume from their A levels which were fantastic! As you know FG's favourite subject which highly impressed her! Judging by the art work she brought home from Fairlands she will do really well she has done some great stuff! Mr Conroy has agreed to continue her extra maths lessons for another year so hopefully will be a Maths genius by the time she leaves school which scarily doesn't seem that far off now!!!!!!!! Has been chosen to run 800m and 1500m for sports day! Will have to decide which one she wants to do as can't physically do both. Best get dressed i suppose and carry on with the chores! 13 days and counting! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
