Thanks for all the messages! Just overcame all that "home sickness". Hot cross buns sound alright, but I went and bought some bread and marmalade today, so I'm good thanks. Mal, I've already sent you an email asking you to go on my computer anyway! the password for my username was in the email. Keep those messages coming! Btw, the people here are great, mostly english/american and a few hispanics. Some are fairly impressive fighters!

Its nice to think that you are already up bfore we go to bed. But seeing as how you are stretching the elastics, don't forget to cook some hot-cross buns for everyone . You can probably just imagine the smell of the yeast, the cinnamon and some juicy sultannas together with a big blob of fresh butter. No give me frogs toenails anyday.
But enough rabbit about food what are the people like. Have you seen any ladies since you arrived - you have'nt mentioned any live people yet: I presume there are some.
And what's your impressions of the surroundings. Are they living in mud huts or air-conditioned pads?? Keep well

We think waudi should back off the little girls for once. sunning it in spain matey! glad your having a good time.....xx vinnie, rev

Your little sister is obviously too busy having a good time without you to spare a moment to write you a note! xxxxx

Pires, sounds like you are having an awesome time! i am worried that you are actually going to be a killing machine when you get back. With that in mind, i have decided that you can play in my 7's team next year! We could do with a lean, mean fighting machine!
Anyway, hope you are well.
Missing you loads
Love Waudi xxxxxxxxx

Hi Piers, seems like your both having a good time. If i were you i would
bring some of that inexpensive "Tea"home & sell it to Harvey Nic`s.I`m
not sure about the photo`s you posted of the monks not for me.Stay safe & well both and we look foreward to reading about more of your
experiences soon. Love Phill,Julia & Amy

Well I can see that it takes a lot to impress you, not the great wall of china, but £200 for a cuppa certainly did the trick! You forgot to mention what colour the tea set was-gold I should imagine?
Phil, Julia and Amy left this evening following a pleasant day at Chartwell and all send their love. Pebbles terrorised the cats as usual so B.J's gone AWOL. Amy's due on the 11th May, looking very well; will let you know if it's a boy or girl. Dad watched the Harlequins at Twickenham and Malory's aching after a second day of lacrosse training, last one tomorrow.
Well it all starts tomorrow, look forward to hearing about your induction. Take good care of yourself and Matt
Lots of love
