Ian, you are number 1 at blogs, its the way you tell it that so good, you both are having one hell of a time.

All is well at brookwood, Will is due back from ski trip to austria in about 3 hours, we have prepared him meat and tater pie.

Ive been harrowing the fields with the old tractor and moving logs out of the wood, the weather is grand, sunny dry and v cold.

Thinking about you both, all our love and look after yourselves.

Dad, Mand, Charl, Will, Toby Minnie, and will the horse.

Hi Ian and Rach

Hope you are both well. Thought I'd take pity on you and send you a quick message, as you haven't had one since mummy's 10 days ago! Ah bless...doesn't mean to say that out of sight is out of mind, because that just isn't true, think about you both everyday. Take care. Love and miss you both.......Auntie S xxxx

Hi you two. Belated Happy New Year to you both. Just been catching up in my lunch hour with your blogs and photos, whilst eating my sandwiches, and wishing that I was there instead of here! Your photos are, as ever amazing. What stunning sunsets! One or two would be lovely enlarged for the wall. Have also had a look at D & D's photos whilst they were with you over Christmas and New Year which were also very good. Hope you're going to put all your adventures into a book or something as someone suggested. It would make fantastic reading. Take care. Love and miss you both.......Auntie S xxxx

Just thought I'd better catch up on the goings on of The Travelling Wilburys (that's you two!), this cold wet Monday morning in January and 45mins later, I'm still not through all the pictures. I had to stop when i saw one of Ian with his top off, and my breakfast nearly made a second appearance. Looks like you're enjoying the sun, sea and fun etc. Burnside road is still standing following the New Years Bash, but would have been better with you guys there, and some grilled Apple Strudle...I'm now off to wander down into Bridgford and check out the new Cafe/Wine Bar (Belle and Jerome) that's just opened....not quite the same as sitting under a palm tree with the sea lapping at your feet...Take care guys. Love The Hams x

A very belated Happpeeeee New Year to you lovely Rach and Ian from the Philpotts. I've had some quiet time at work (boss away) and finally caught up with some of your traveling stories, videos and pics; looks and sounds amazing. Your story-telling is fantastic Ian.

Burnside Road was a great base for our New Year celebrations - thank you for having us. Must be great to have the honour of hosting, without the dishwashing the next day!! Hope you had a fab Christmas and New Year with the Nundy family and great news about pending niece/nephew!

All good here and Philpotts enduring a health kick at the moment. Gym attendance is good and we now have Nell McAndrew in our living room to help shed a few of the Christmas pounds. Marky is a delight to watch as he keeps to the beat in his underpants and vest!

Look forward to hearing more of your stories..seems like you've been gone for ages...we miss you!! Have fun.
