Hi Jono, thanks so much for coming to the rescue with the hot water system, it tends to blow out when it's really windy, hence the gaffa tape!!! Pod has ice bucket routine down to a fine art, but today is a stunner and hot so it might create havoc with the outside in the cold part of his system!
He is starting to struggle with not bumping into anyone he knows... Could be a record!!!
Love to all, wish you were here!!!

Hey Pod & Sal

Well you clearly are relaxed Pod, I haven't seen a pic of you without a beers. Lou mentioned that you had fridge issues and the beers weren't cold enough, sounds just like Samui, potential disaster but the old ice bucket trick works a treat.

Had to drop by last saturday as Em rang saying the hot water heater was leaking and cold. All fixed but with emergency rates plus it was a weekend it's going to cost 4 chops on the BBQ and 6 beers, make that 7 beers.

Enjoy the last couple of weeks, absolutely nothing happening back here so you're in the perfect spot.

Cheers Jonno

Hi yabbi, How are you and Ben and the zoo going? Has Freddo chewed up anything else? Dad wants to take your group for ski camp. , he knows Bulla and thinks he's above intermediate, and can do black runs. He hasn't had instructor experience but has spent 4 weeks skiing in Japan. He'll be an excellent and fun guide for your group.
How is your project going? Any more interesting Uranus facts?
We are in Bellagio at Lake Como in Italy. Wish you were here to translate foe us, Dad and I have no idea what they are saying. Luckily we have the Italian book dad gave me.
Lizzie Scott, Bronny's sister picked us up from Como it was nice seeing her.
Dad says hi and we send lots of kisses and big hugs.
All our love, mum and dad
P.S. glad Bens knee better, is he playing on Sat?

Bonjour Abbi,
Ca va? Dad wants to go on ski camp as a ski group leader and tell Tatty I will go for the week with her and she can book, not sure if we can bring Ben too, depends on school and sport for him. Tell Tatty perhaps book from Sunday to Sunday and maybe we can get Ben back Fri for sport???

I wrote a cheque for chocolate money, look in your school bag???? If u can remember handing it in then ask Mr Duke.nif they can't find it I'll look in my cheque book when I get home.

We are staying in a hotel in Villefranche and room where a famous artist Jean Cocteau has stayed. He has painted beautiful paintings and written on the walls!!! Google him!!!

Dad is driving very well, we drove along the French riviera yesterday it was tres beau.

Miss you, je t'aime beau coup tout la jour

Hi there Pod and Sall.
So glad to see you are having such a wonderful holiday. Your photos are fabulous. Clearly looks like pod is doing a fantastic job of sampling all of the local beers!!! Loved the photo with all the 'blanc' clothing. Very funny.
Just the most beautiful country, and we are very jealous looking at all the pics. Hope your having a fabbo time, and keep up the good work with all your bier and vin rouge tastings. Glad to hear Tom Tom has not let you down and making your driving experience more enjoyable.
Live it up guys and have fun.
Love Lou and Jonno. XXX

Hi darling Abbi,
We are missing you too. I'm glad you are having a fun time and that you won netball and that you are loving having Holly to look after you. Are you feeding Ducky and Nell and getting the eggs? How is your Uranus project going? I have bought you the best presents today... You will love them I hope. We are currently in Villefranche sur mer. Our hotel is right on the water it is a really cute village. When you are studying French I promise I will bring you to France... You will love it. Dad has had 2 mini croissants for breakfast every morning, plus yummy apple pastry. I have had smoked salmon with delicious cheese on a very mini baguette. Plus prosciutto with cheese and cornichons, my favourite!! Dad has done the bill with his hand movement 6 times so far. Seeing we have eaten out and had to ask for it probably 20 times, it isn't a good record so far!!

How is my footy tipping going? Am I still in the lead?

We miss you ssssssssooooooooo much.
Lots of love enfinity times round the world and back, mum and dad xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Sall and Antoine
I have just remembered a beautiful restaurant called Angelinas at 226 rue de Rivoli where Tom took me. They specialise and are famous for their hot chocolate and divine patisseries. Perfect for the cold weather. Enjpy!
