Laura's travelling up the east coast of Australia at the moment and very pleased it's getting warmer.

We've just had a weekend away in Eastbourne which we really enjoyed.Shopping,eating,drinking,theatre,relaxing,more eating,more drinking and more relaxing so it was good.The sea was a horrible grey colour,what a difference after the lovely turquoise blue of Thailand's sea.

Hello Sarah

Just thought I'd let you know our latest news. Been shopping today looking for new furniture for the dining room found a nice guy in Borde Hill who makes furniture and it looks promising.

My merrells are good as well and you'll be glad that they are not the same as yours.

We are going to Margaret and Michaels celebrations tomorrow for their 40th wedding and 80th birthday.

The weather is lousy here we have had so much rain and hardly any sun there has been terrible floods in Sheffield and Nottingham.

Anna is on a hen night in Ibiza with Russ connections she is pleased with her new car

Theresas place is nearly finished and getting ready to move in.

I have hardly been able to use the Harley as the weather has been so bad. I am enjoying the book think I might buy a BMW trail motor bike and cross the Ashdown Forest in my own epic!!!!!!!!!

Guess what Mum has discovered a warehouse size Hobbycraft at County Oak. There is a ten ton lorry load of beads being delivered next week!.

Mum has bought a Radley bag and umbrella she thinks she is the bees knees. The umbrells has come in handy today but is so small there wasnt room for me so I got soaked.

Love reading your blogs .

Loads of love Dad

Hi Sarah,

Tried getting you on your E mail but no luck. Hope you are having a great time, we all miss you lots of love all at The Red Lion.

See you soon

Hi all

Thanks for your lovely messages, really good to hear from you all. Sorry about the lack of photos, its difficult to find places to put them onto the computer and takes a blimmin long time when you do find somewhere!

I will try to put them on in Beijing so keep your eyes peeled!

lots of love Sarah x x

Hi

Lovely to get your call this morning it was great to hear your cheery voice.

Good job you phoned we had gone back to sleep its ok for me as I have the day off but Dad has to go to work.

We had a great weekend On Friday we went to Latchetts the big garden down Freshfield Lane and had a wander round there and came back and drunk a bottle of wine in the summerhouse as the evening turned out quite sunny. the weather has been terrible here loads of rain but still quite warm, needless to say the garden is growing like mad. The new bed that dad planted is coming on a treat.

On Sat we went to watch the wedding which was lovely cant wait til I'm the mother of the bride only joking!The service was very unusal but lovely but just as they left the church the heavens opened and the wind blew well it is June.

Then we drove up to London to celebrate Barrys 60th we met Pet and Liz at a Travel Lodge and got a cab to Barrys. It was great fun he had a magician and a 2 piece band it was a great evening and we managed to spend most of the time in the garden loads of food and drink.

Sunday we went to one of Rydon Homes site which was near and viewed a house woth 1.2 million it was fantastic the furnishings were a amazing it was to die for. Apparently Louis Boa-Morta is buying it he plays for West Ham.Then we back to Barrys for lunch and more drinking getting home at 7pm A busy weekend but fun.

todays it is WW oh dear dreading started so well this week but the weekend was disasterous.They were asking about you at WW wanting to know how you were getting on.

well thats all for now more news later.

Loads of love MumXXXXXXXXXXX

Hi Sarah hope you are ok and got over your 25km hike and the 'tick'problem.It sounded absolutely horrendous at least we only had to worry about the mozzies and they were bad enough!(As Mum and Pete knows)Just think what an experience it all was and hopefully by now Renee can laugh about it.Keep up the good work,it's great reading about your travels and something we could only dream of.

Laura rang last night from Hong Kong airport on her way to Australia.Think she's going to find it alot colder there from where she has come from,may need to buy some more jumpers.Her tan will fade like ours has.The weather is awful here so Pete isn't happy as he wants it good for work.Never mind I did hear someone say we're going to have a heatwave whenever that may be!

Just got our photos back,great to look back on-such lovely memories.Got to get them in the album now all 170 of them but that's nothing compared to how many you must have taken.But you will look back on them in years to come and treasure this time.Sorry I'm waffling as usual I'll go now but take care both of you.have fun and I look forward to more adventures.

Much love Nicola & Petexxxx

Hi there

I ahve today off so went to meet Sue in H Heath for lunch. We went to Orange Sq and sat in the sunshine but now it is pouring with rain. We are having some very strange weather at the moment it is warm but very showery and some parts of the country are having flooding. The tan is fading fast.

We have a busy weekend ahead we are going round Latchetts open garden tonight but at the moment it is pouring so not sure it that will now happen. Tomorrow dad has to cut the crinkly hedge at the front and then we are going to watch Jenni and Andy get married and watch the chief bridesmaid do her bit then its off to London to celebrate Barrys 60th at his house. Pete and Liz are coming as well and we are staying in a hotel for the night that will be fun.It is also Liz's birthday tomorrow so its a double celebration guess we might just have a few beverages!!!!!!!!

I have just been to Lewes to get Barry a pressie from the Harveys shop cause he loves the home brew stuff.

I have got Tuesday off as Anna picks up her new car and wants me to go with her and then we are going to have some lunch out it just has to be done.

She has got all next week off before she starsts her new job.

Thats about all the news for now Hope things are ok with you

Loads of love MumXXXXXXXXXXX
