Robs Grandma Sunday, 14th Nov. 2010 Rob and Leanne - I have been going over all your Blogs and Photos today, and it was really good; you both have worked so hard doing this, while you were having fun at the same time. Time has flown and you must be getting very tired by now. Nothing exciting my end except for dark clouds and the "Credit Crunch"and over crowded Public Transport. But I do enjoy spending my Tesco and Marks & Spencers Vouchers at the Shops purchasing delicious foods !! Michael & Louise are probably working very hard and enjoying their new environment. Their birthdays are this month; maybe, they will have some time off to enjoy themselves. Take care of yourselves and have a safe journey Home. God Bless. Lots of love, Grandma xxxx6

Dad Hi Rob & Leanne You'll soon be back in the 'bosom of your family' I actually have a couple of days off was going to go to the World Cup in Luxembourg but funds are tight. Any way bet you are both up for a feast so we will 'kill the fatted calf' (no not Tom) and do something like pie and mash. Are you up for that? Love always Dad

Tom Just noticed my awful gramatic errors, obviously 'you're' should be your - I do English at A-Level you know :)

Tom Hi YOUNG ONES :D, sounds like you're having a great time in hobbit-ville, only a week until you're back now - madness. Rob we've told Pedro (our lodger) he's got until Friday to move out of you're room, so we should have some time to clean up before you get back ;) I'm thinking some sort of meal would be a good idea when you get in? So see you when you get back, safe journey and all that jazz, and enjoy you're last week of traveling!

Leanne's Mum and Dad Hi Leanne and Rob, Glad to see you are keeping up with the pub quiz whilst you are away. We went to the governors on Thursday and guess what?.....we won !!! First time in a long time. The house is almost back to normal and you can now have your bedroom back when you come home. It seems a long time since we have seen you and we are looking forward to your return and the bags of pressies that you must have bought us whilst you have been away. Granny's 90th birthday party was good last weekend - the food was great but the service was not exactly quick. She liked the present from you and Rob. Fiona pained a lovely picture of Instioge (where Granny used to live) on a canvas which will go on Granny's living room wall. Anyway, keep safe and enjoy the rest of your trip. Love Mum and Dad, Richard and Liam XXX

I am so proud of you ROB, and LEANNE - you lucky girl, with all those anticipated PATIENTS to assist with their speech and good language !!! Well done to both of you ! I have FAMILY and RELATIVES in both AUSTRALIA and NEWZEALAND - my AUNT and UNCLE lived and died in AUCKLAND, and my COUSIN is married to a NEWZELANDER,but sadly we have lost touch with the latter.

Leanne's Mum and Dad Hi Leanne and Rob The trip to see the baby seals sounds amazing, we would just love to see that ourselves. Glad to see you are having a great time but looking forward to seeing you at home as it seems like a long time since we saw you. Grandad is still in the Care Home but there is a chance that he may be able to go home next week. I have kept him up to date with your travels and Nana too.
