The Munich Fan Club Dear Rachel, How are things? No blogs for a while - I guess you are busy. But do let us know what is new there. Does Christmas happen or is it just an ex-pat thing? Lots of love from both the Cs in Munich xxx

Julie Walmsley A Belated Happy Birthday!! It sounds like you had an unbelievable Birthday weekend and you look radiant in your photos! x

Pamela Happy Birthday Rachel Love, Pamela and Leigh too x

The Munich Fan Club Now there Rachel, I have been through all the photos which were updated today and cannot see one of you leaping onto the back of a moped or even sitting demurely on the back of a moped. Kindly check your records.I do like the sound of bubble tea.

The Munich Fan Club Well I think considering Clarkson's usual sense of humour this article shows him being deeply moved and concerned by the whole thing. I do love the French bit. Go on, tell us about some of your customers' requests (you can anonymise them - heaven knows I am used to anonymising things in my job!) Lots of love from a COLD COLD Munich C&C

Roanna McClelland Hi Rachel, Thanks for looking after my mum!!!!! Glad you guys had fun :) Ro

Julie Walmsley Hi Rach, it all sounds great out there and looks so lovely! Seems like you are settling in and fantastic that you get to tour around at your first week at work, enjoy it! Miss you this side :) x

Harriet Hi Rachel, I just checked out your latest blog...i cant believe that Siem Riep has a supermarket in it now! that is very cosmopolitan!! Hope day 1 at work went well..you'll be pleased to hear that it is pouring down with rain here Harriet x

Rachel Slattery Well, just when I thought I couldn't love this website anymore, it emails to let me know you've posted new stuff. Fabulous! The 1st of September always feels like 'back to school' to me. I imagine as today is the first day of your new job you may be feeling exactly like that! Have a smashing day, enjoy it. The hotel looks lovely.

Harriet HI Rachel, I am now back in the office (after my week away). Your most recent photos look amazing. You must now be settled in Siem Reap - please go to that massage place I went to - it is amazing and only costs about 10 dollars for an hour and a half. Lots of love x

Rachel Slattery Hi Rachel! I love, love, love this website. Even a technophobe like my good self can use it. Hmm, assuming this message reaches you! It doesn't seem two minutes since you left the office and you have done so much. I was so excited to see so many photos - some of which are just stunning. Can we have more with you in please? It's super to see the amazing sights but better still to see you enjoying them! It's a super quiet, late-August Friday in the office. We're teetering on the edge of the bank holiday - which can only promise to be less rainy than the several weeks prior. Plus ca change! I am infinitely jealous of your adventure and I'll make sure to check in more often to keep up to date with your news. Take care. Rachel x

Dad Hi there I can see that everything is going well, and that you are looking good. You managed to overcome the automatic gearbox told you that you find it a lot easier than the stickshift, you dont have to drive it apart from stearing and I see that you did manage to avoid a few of the everyday obsticles attached to driving over there, which will becombe second nature, something akin to," motorcross", take care, talk to you later love DadXXXXXXXXX

The Munich Fan Club You take care of yourself, getting all sunburnt is not what an English lady does! Can we have a picture of your striped arms? CandCx
