Hi you two,

Your photos are hopefully a reflection of the fun you are experiencing. Ita a shame for you that i can't join you but you will no doubt find a way to compensate this. Your insurance is problematic but overcomeable so bear with me for a while longer. Bobs battery has not arrived yet so I am posting your package to Ryan tomorrow (22nd). Keep on truckin' and don't forget 'Always expect the worst but hope for the best'. Love and miss you both DAD XXX
