Hi guys- bet you didn't expect a message from me!
Looks like you are having an awesome time- keep it up!
What a winner you managed to catch up with Kate.
Love the Ezycruiza too, although I don't know why Benny is relieving himself into a can- go behind a bush next time fella!
Great to see you did the camel trek from Jaisalmer- didn't do it with a guy called Mousaka did you?
2 quick apologies (several months late admittedly)- sorry we never got to meet Ruth before you went and sorry we missed your leaving-do! Not being told when it was may have something to do with that!
See you on your return which is when exaclty?
Take care.
Goose and Liz

Keep swatting those flies, don't forget you are bigger than them. Enjoy the sun and the sea. Not so hot in the U.K. The forthcoming Commonwealth Games sound exciting. Many things for you to enjoy. Love as always mum

Sorry to see the corn rows have gone Ruthie... Were they just an Asian thing?
