Not traveling out till 15th feb . Strangely enough that date rings a bell for some reason . there will be no meeting of the minds at the top Kili.
Not sure on any other details yet will let you know . I just wanted to tell that West ham are flying up the table but I can't sorry . Still the great Dean Ashton will be back soon I am sure .

Just a post how wonderful proud of my brother i am. It appears he went to a swish dinner at Tower Bridge/St Catherine's Dock on Wednesday. Pete had been nominated in his catering firm's national annual excellence awards. He beat off over 500 other nominies in his category of "Chef Manager Of The Year". This was dwindled down to 5 finalists .

As Pete writes: "It was a very lavish affair consisting of around 800 guests all in our finery ( mine hired of course ). Pictures and hopefully a full dvd of the event will be availble on your return . the event was hosted by olympic gold medalist James Cracknell and his partner Sports journalist & presenter Beverly Turner. We were treated to 1/2 an hour of vocal coaching by the legendary David And Carrie Grant of X factor fame woohoo! I think I have given you the general gist . So I will move on . I only bloody went and won !. I now have a stunning trophy , a very big head , A new found fame, an O.B.E in the post I am sure.Also I have won a trip early next year , probably January with the ten other winners from the different catergories to Kenya . this is a semi culinary experience trip but we are to take in safari and other such delights.I am in a state of shock with severe emotional swings in light of this and the other recent shocking events . Take care Phil. Signing out Peter Mark Ramsay".

So, Pete, so bloody congratulations. This is stunning news. Can i meet you in Kenya?

Hi Phil surely you could find something more beautiful to dream about . How is your week going? I am really busy. Take care keep well love mum x

Morning,
Sounds more like a nightmare, man! I had this terrible dream that I was working in the Corner House... I can't just wake up from it though. Chris has chopped the bar in half now and put a curved end on where the waiting counter was, so it kinda looks like the bar in Cheers, I don't think it's made anything more practical though but who am I? Go eat your mangos and whatavyou then and I'll see ya later an' that.

i dreamt about the corner house last night. is that wrong? the bar looked very different and i ended up working there again! It was only a dream... wasn't it??

Hiya Phil, We were all very sad to hear your news and we are all thinking about you.. and no they have not all forgotten you!! Louise has read all your journal, and chris was having a look the other day too, i have given the address to quite a few people. We have been missing you behind the bar.. which has been chopped in half!! there is a gap just after the ale pumps now.. and it curves round at the end.. its not finished yet so ill update you with what chris does to us next! I can not think of any gossip really.. Paulines 50th on the 14th december, we are having a party with the Rainmen, ill let you know if anything interesting happens!! I am really glad to hear that you are feeling better, and that you are staying out there for the duration. Anyway time for work, take care xx Love Sarah xx

Hi Phil Thank you for telling us so much about what you are doing are you enjoying the mangoes one of Tony's favorite fruits ! I am so proud of you will continue to pray and watch what God is doing in your life. I have flowers in every room and loads of cards. I feel very peaceful although sad but looking forward to new things in the future. May God bless you and keep you safe. Thinking of you a lot today. Big hug! love mumxx

Hi Phil,
I've just had a catch up with your father, it sounds like the White House is still in good hands for your return! I haven't made it back since I last saw you after the gig, but am planning something in December, so fingers crossed. Works very busy now as the new shop opened in Woodbridge last week, loading 30 plus pallets of wine and stuff into the place the week before was backbreaking I tell you, but the place looks great.

Your photos look excellent, it looks like a great group your with, and the kids look such fun. Take care and will see you early in the new year.

Little Tom

Not only is God doing a new thing with you but with me also I am so excited I love you and pray that God will lift the remaining scales from your eyes. Take great care of yourself my darling the enemy will attack but Jesus is greater. You must remember that this was always going to be a life changing experience. Eves Lauren phoned from Australia that was so lovely of her. I have had so many cards flowers and phone calls I am very blessed and feel very loved. Happy Birthday to me I hope I have lots of years ahead of me to do Gods work. love mumx

Hi Phil;
It was good to talk to you today, although briefly. Now perhaps your beginning to realise why your blog is called Phil's 'Adventure!' The word has come to mean a lot more than the original Latin. For example, advent means something that is just coming. So expect adventure to mean the same. But the first definition in your Colins dictionary says adventure is 'a risky undertaking of unknown outcome.' So is that why you didn't call your blog 'Phils teaching trip?' Only you are to blame my son.
Anyway, hang on in there and check your e-mails for message from me.
Dad
