Nice to see that you're enjoying yourselves! Don't worry too much about us back here in the cold........ I'll bet that sentry you had your picture taken next to was killing himself with laughter! You'll have definitely brightened his day! Hope you're having as good a time as it looks, and the pictures are ensuring a healthy level of envy down here in 'sunny' Portsmouth.

Please, for the love of God, if there are 'speedos' deployed over the trip, do not, I repeat do not capture it on film. It'll only come back to haunt you at some later point in life, and we'll all have to take our on eyes out. Not good at this time of the year.

Have a very large beer for me,

Jon

So you're enjoying yourselves then?

Good

We've got a new cat - Rescued another one from someone who was leaving the UK for good. One year old bruiser called Felix. Just had him castrated and jabbed. He really doesn't like me much at the moment. Plus three weeks of forced confinement means cat boxes everywhere! Martha is just getting over a second bout of flu, Fi has had a rasping cough for the last three weeks and its coming up to Christmas madness over here! Sometimes feel like we should abuse the credit card and come out and see you. Sun and white beaches would be great!

The weather is as you would expect it here. Frosty mornings with ice scrapers at the ready. Cold winds expected over the next few days and the possibility of snow! Yippee! Must try and find an indoors office job! (Dear Diary......)

We'll toast you guys once or twice over the next few weeks during our Office Christmas Do's and look forward to all your updates!

Don't need to tell you to enjoy yourselves! You are obviously doing that. Just one thing - Mikey get infront of the camera once or twice! PLEASE!

Pops wants to know what is it with shorts that should be trousers? What happpened to Speedo's? Ha ha!

Jem

Hi boys,

Looks like you're all having a great time. All is well in frosty Atherstone!!! The Adders are all missing you already! Take care, behave (if thats possible) and keep on finger dancing.

Love Jillxx

All,

Looks like a solid start! Beer sounds a bit ferocious. Surprised the locals weren't teaching you the finger dance after Loz, Claire and Steph's visit! Looking forward to hearing about the scuba diving in Kohtao.
