I don't know why I haven't been on here in ages, but me and Al just sat down to catch up on all your pics and it looks like you're having a rocking time - we wish we were there too!!
We saw Joe and Jamie today, on their way to the Isle of Wight, then Africa. Jamie said he spoke to Chris and he was well chuffed, EVERYONE's LEAVING TO DO FUN STUFF!! I'm jealous. I left you a facebook comment that said I'm hoping to go to Barcelona in sept to do a TEFL, got a phone interview tomorrow for it, wish me luck!!
We had a fantastic holiday in Thailand and was even more special as we met up with you both in Chiang Mai; the photos showed us actually there rather than imagining it!!!! Can't wait to go back again. Pouring with rain here, and met up with Wendy and Andy last night to show the movie clip of you both! Meeting up with Fe and Steve tomorrow at Wendy's for lunch. Keep enjoying the north before Laos.
Lots of love xxxxxxxxx

I can face the day now I have seen new photos! You look very much at home, Chris, on the cookery course-guess it was much like The Shed-without a pizza in sight! It was lovely to be able to have such a long chat with you at the weekend-wicked boy making your sister cry like that!!
Cant wait to see Mark and Mary and hear all about their trip-think Mark can cook us a lovely Thai meal now! We are helping Claire move into her new house this Sat-not sure what we will find as Sheffield has had terrible floods this week! May need a bilge pump!
Count down now to the big 50!!! Party plans well under way-just hope we will all have a good time-and of course wish you both could be here.The weather here has got 10 days to dramatically improve-or else!!!
Sawatdee Ka!!!Love and miss you like crazy!!! xxxxxxxxxx
