Dad You need to update this rachel - just because you have stayed in one place for a while doesn't mean you are not doing anything interesting. Hope you enjoyed your week off work. Love, Dad.

nathan suprise!!!!! love you baby xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx!!

lucy Yo Rach, Thanks for postcard..... we're keeping them as when we are able to go travelling to exotic places we fancy going to some of the places you have been!!!!!! Glad you had a lovely time with Nathan.... bet your missing him now though. Well i'm not sure what you would find interesting from this end..... i'm not sure which day of the week it is the days tend to just roll by!! Emily has started pre-school and seems to enjoy it. She had her first fancy dress day and went as little miss muffet. She did get told off for being silly in circle time. Jay has two bottom teeth and loves rubbing things on them. He has discovered that he has two feet and likes to stand on them although he hasn't discovered his legs yet as he cries if he has to actually walk!!! They had some friends round to play yesterday. I'm still trying to tidy up from that. Kids..... they trash your house!!!!! Keep sending those postcards... we love seeing where you are. Dead jealous of Vietnam. That is where we wanted to go on our honeymoon we were advised against it because of the weather at that time of year. Love your photo....great to see your cheeky mugshot!!!!!

Mary Hey Rach - got your e-mail. Hope all is good with you. Would be good to do a webcam. Should be around this weekend - our Saturday morning if you are free? x x

Mum Have just looked at the photo page and actually found a photo on it!!!!! Lovely...lets have a few more!

Jennie Clarke Ok Lucy this is for you! Just proving that we do write to you Rachel as Lucy didnt believe me! I know, I know.... I email you and speak on the phone but she STILL didnt believe me! Now we will see if she is reading these msg and if she writes to you Rach!Enjoying the blogs babe and am getting good with the skype!Keep it up!!! Love Mum!

Paul Coppin Rach Have just worked out how to do this! Have a good Christmas and New Year - there is absolutely no sense in which Anna and I are jealous of you ... at all... even a bit....

Mary Hey Rach - thought I would get in early with your Christmas present - have sent you something to treat yourself with. Sounds like you are having a great time. I have finished for Christmas now so just getting presents and cards sorted. Mum said she gave you my landline - give me a call sometime it would be great to speak to you! x x

Sally Hi rach, Did i read right, you met loud, confident girls and didn't like them??!! this travelling must be settling you down! Had lots of snow this weekend so very cold in my little flat!

Lucy Hi Rach, Thanks for postcard .. read it to Emily. Tuk Tuks look fantastic fun..... let us know how horse riding thro' jungle goes. Keep your blogs up to date .. i miss my daily read.... some days it is the most excitement I get in a day!! Jay is eating well and is sitting up unaided. Emily is the usual bossy big sister.
