Hi guys,

Thanks for the update... We do miss Africa.... but it will be some time before we go there... Visiting you guys for a sundowner...... not this year, sorry....... Next january Antarctica, in May 5 days Iceland for some Whales and in september 26 days Bolivia.... After less travel in 2010 becuase of our Englisch Bulldogs, 2011 is going to be a travel year. Here everthing is OK, except for the regulary migraine for Patricia and RSI pains for me, live is good.... Life is the same everyday.... going to work, trafficjam, work all day, going back home, again lots of traffic, eat sleap wake up... and then the same again.... and again...... But for you life is also the same every day.... Wake up, eat, some gamedriving, repairing the LaRo ;-), eat, a sundowner sleap... mmmmm sounds a lot better... hahahahahaha

Have fun and take care of each other!

With love

Arjan, Patricia and the 2 lovely Englisch Bulldogs......

Hi Jen

Thanks for comments, we enjoyed meeting you and Mike too.

We are sat in the car in the buzzing metropolis of Hartswater (NWEST). Thankfully it is warming up a bit. The locals appeared puzzled at a Landrover Discovery (now with rooftop tent on top) being in this part of the world, or maybe it is the wireless aerial on the roof puzzling them (or maybe just the sight of us!)

Take care and enjoy Marakele and the rhino

Love Ralph & Angela xx

Hi u 2!

Stu sent me your website etc.. WOW! I have gone a kinda green colour seeing all that you have done! Absolutely marvellous .....It was great meeting you at Stu and Trudi's and sampling some wine with you (you know of course that I don't normally partake of the fruit of the vine, but, being with you, felt obliged.. hee hee.. We are booked to go to Marakele near Thabazimbi this weekend (Mike's birthday on Saturday), but who knows what with his work (he got home at 4.15am this am after a problem) Murphy's law, the little sod! Anyway got to do some work (not too much..) and hoping you guys are fine, and ready to roll. Love Jen xx

It was

Oh no, Steve is back from his honeymoon, and still married judging by the names below! Miracles will never cease.

Thanks for the England perspective, it makes me feel better when comments come from a footballing giant like Republic of Ireland, did I miss your South African venture, how is Thierry Henri?

You're welcome re the card, it was nothing, actually it was nothing, we found it thrown away outside WH Smiths.

Well, can't keep this interesting banter going, I've got to wash my wheel arches.

Keep Nikki on the medication, you'll frighten her if she wakes up

1966 England won the world cup. that's not far off half a century ago....so isn't it time the English had a slightly more realistic expectation of their football outcomes?

Just back from cuba so thanks for the most touching & polite wedding card we ever received....I'm welling up just thinking of you...my hairy one!

Hope all is well and your message board and blogs get more interesting Ralph...yaaaawn

Well, I was walking the dog during the final...... I didn't think 'we' could win the cup in 'our' third final....

Beter luck next time (in 30 years...)

Sorry about the result Arjan

Hi Arjan, Patrica and the bulldogs

Hi Heike

Sorry about the Germany result, you should have listened to the octopus!

Hi Erna & Andre

Thanks for putting us up in Nelspruit, really enjoyed the trip to Marloth and the day trips in to Kruger. The wild dogs and cheetahs made our trip.

Thanks for all your hospitality and for having the Landy checked over.

Still waiting for the caracal sighting!

Take care

Loev Ralph & Angela

Hi guys,

How is life? Do you enjoy the worldcup? Thank god England can play on ....... How is the Laro doing? Still running or did you buy another car? I hope Afrika is not boring. I do miss it, last week I check our pics of Botswana again and looked at Patricia and said 'I do miss Africa'. Well somewhere in the future.... Next January Antarctica and at the end of 2011 maybe Mongoly. Did you receive my email with the explination of the birds in the antarctic? Well just a few weeks and i am off to Fairford. I have a nice Hotel nea Swindon, sorry you guys are not at home.....

Enjoy and take care of yourself and each other..
