At last I've got on your site. Its been a laugh and a pleasure to read your letters, it all sounds great fun. I admire your courage to go it alone and acheive so much already. I look forward to seeing you in person, keep the adventures coming!!!!!! Thinking of you love Auntie Kay

A postscript to my message of 24 April.....Glad to see you're keeping up the fluid intake!

Well, well, well ... All I see I see a smokescreen covering far worse shenanigans! "Oh no, ma and pa, I've been nowhere near a pipe!" Yeah, right. Pure education. Education a la Carioca! You Swine! May I see you be "paraded" by the Farq with the daily news headlining "Henry: Barca: Si!" Keep well, Wadlow!

Put your hands together for Jens Lehmann. Paris here we come, bring on Barca!

You say the food is the best you've ever eaten since your last roast dinner. You post a picture on your site of a plate of pig's intestines you are about to eat. What are you saying about my roast dinners?

hello, just seen your updated photos and they look great! just to let you know as you probably don't... pfa young player: Rooney, pfa player of the year: Gerrard! Andrew would like to mention that goalie of the year was: Shay Given!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've just enjoyed a delicious dinner and excellent company tho' I really missed you and Paul. Have spent the last two hours catching up with all your news and photos. Can we please have temperatures. Look forward to the next episodes. Please take care and enjoy every moment. Lots of love Christine xxxxx

Hi Rich,
Just thought that I would let you know that your Mum bought me "The Motorcycle Diaries" book as one of my birthday presents. So, like you I am 'travelling' around S.America at the moment. In fact I am ahead of you because I have already reached Chile, having read about 60 pages on flights to/from Turin last week.
I trust that you are not forgetting about fitting in your quota of history and culture in as well as roadtesting all the bars and clubs on your travels?
Cheers for now. Dad.

Thierry Henry- Exquisite! i will write to you soon bro!

Hi Richard, greetings from us all in Worthing. Glad you've escaped from the 9 to 5 for a while and seeing some wonderful places (we have to rely on David Attenborough!) Take care. xxx

HAPPY EASTER, Richard I'll keep your eggs safe until your return but if the sell by date approaches before then we'll eat them and think of you!
