Hey naughty Ben and best girl Abbi and darling Em if you ever read this, surely I must be blitzing the footy comp, I am a genius!! Ben, I bought you every flavor of gelati and have posted it home from Sienna. Abbi, I would rather you go to France when you are older than China, so as Dad says, no dramas! Ben, glad you have finally found the message spot on our blog, better than the 50 texts we get asking which freezer the butter chicken is in etc. Glad you are being careful with your knee and it was ok for footy and rugby training, hope you smash the Scotchies on Sat!
we are having lots of fun and it is very relaxing. We are in an apartment in the sea side village of Porto Ercole and are looking across the marina at Michael Buxtons boat the Black Pearl you know the one we went on last year. I am eating lots of pasta and seafood it is all so delicious. Can't wait to give you big hugs and kisses on mothers day. Love you sssoooooo much, Mummy xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ben-did you notice all those pretty pirates I photographed?Also be very watchful of your knee this week.
Abbi-fingers crossed I get to go on the ski trip with you.Did you win netball on Saturday?How many goals did you get?
Emily-glad Jacks was fun and keep up the hard work.You are almost half way through the year.Let us know your results when you get them.
Look forward to seeing you all on Sunday
Ciao

Hi darlings,
Photos are so lovely of Como, the gardens look fantastic.
Plenty rain here this week. Got the extra pool in the garden again! tennis off as too wet. Judy Bull stayed at our house at Barwon and locked herself in! she had to jump out of the bathroom window!
Abbi stayed Thursday night with us, Josie is there Friday night.
Mothers Day lunch for MPS today, splendid effort by all those young new Mothers! Libby Gore (aka Elle Mcfeast) was the speaker, she had Richard by the hand chanting with her! sooo funny. (she is a mother of a grade 1 at MPS).
Looking forward to Pod's beer survey at the end of the trip.

Hey guys, waiting for photos of Lake Como! Looks like you have been staying in some great places. Enjoy! Ps Pod, are you noticing any differences between French and Italian beers?
Sally To Abbi And Ben
Hi Abbi and Ben,
Thanks for organising Dad for the ski trip. He is very excited about skiing with you. Glad Uranus project is going well. Haven't had any communication from Ben, how's his knee and is he playing rugby tomorrow. I had a missed call on Wed from the physio, did he miss his appointment? Can you tell Holly to take his playstation controls during the week and only let him have them on weekends. Do you think he is doing much study?
Maybe give Freddo some plastic containers like old milk or ice cream to chew outside. And tell Ben to give him lots of cuddles and walks around the block, it will be good for his knee!!!
At the moment you are at tennis lesson and we are having breakfast!
We are having a fun time, enjoying exploring as much as possible, there is so much to see.
Today is a beautiful, sunny and warm day. I am wearing my dress for the second time on the trip! We are in Bellagio at Lake Como, and having a relaxing day, catching the boat over to Argengo for lunch. We go to Milan tomorrow and pick up a car and Dad gets to drive with the crazy Italians down to Tuscany!!!
Love you sssssooooooooooooooooo much, 10 times to Uranus and back.
Love, Mum and Dad xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
