Hi Sara
I'm sorry to hear its been hectic for you, my heart bleeds! Deal with children on beaches the same way as flies, IE just swat them, I suppose they have to make a living, sad really. The Perfume River sounds nice, what did it smell like? I like the way you say "ONLY a four hour bus ride" to Hoi, travelling the world has desensitised you to long journeys if nothing else. It sound like shopping heaven did being measured up make you feel like posh? I'm sorry to hear about your purse, well it could have been worse; it could have been your kidney, that's what happened to some poor guy in Thailand. Jeb & I went out in Bevs new car last night, I've been dying for a ride so when they turned up in it to pick us up I wall really exited, I've never been in a Porsche before, let alone a brand new top of the range shinny black one, that was the up side the down side was that Chris was behind the wheel & I think he thought he was at Brandshatch! The Journey was nerve wracking to say the least; you don't have the monopoly on dodgy modes of travel you know! although reading your journal over the past weeks your right up there on the top spot!!!! LOL Ive got a riding lesson today & I've got a hangover, not a good combination, I hope they don't allocate me a bouncy horse. We still haven't found an architect, they are a strange breed, I'm quite keen to get the ball rolling, I came back last night & the sitting room curtains had fallen down so maybe that's a sign that we better get a move on. Issy has finished her exams she's practising for her singing & piano exams now, which are in June. James is in Scotland, he drove there with his girlfriend Rebecca, and they are staying for the weekend. You missed a great party at Chris & Bevs, Stevie & Carl had joint 18 & 21st garden party, they had a massive marquee & a DJ, it was such a good night, Stevies outfit was fab I will email you a picture. Well must go, take care lots of love Michelle.

Hi Sara enjoyed your latest entry, it is so professionally written, you could be a travel writer, 5 star accommodation only of course, that sounds good eh? . So maybe it wasn't 3 years of late night s & parties after all. I bet your dads mouth was watering when he read about the sea food. Issy is doing exams at the moment, I have to keep dragging her off of msn, She has cyber boyfriend whos cousins with brittney, yer right! Grandad has had another fall, hes hurt his ribs, I 'm not sure how badly yet as it takes a few days to tell, its a shame because his skin is much better at the moment, hes been diagnosed with soriosis, so at least we know what it is now. Jeb was working in a house this week and the ceiling fell in on him, it's only grazed his nose, (THE GUYS ARE GETTING MILLAGE OUT OF THAT ONE) he thinks his name is chicken lickin!!!! James has a new addition to the house he lives in, a chawowa which is ginger & was left in a dustbin, as it's Damiens dog they are looking for a suitably gay name for it, the other two are Demi the staff, and Harley the rather annoying miniature poodle. We have had lots of rain, which we need. May is usualy such a great month in my experience, it's usually June which is rainy (Wimbledon time). Well better go as i've got a hair nail & tango appointment today, I suppose sleeping with the boss has its advantages. Take lots of care, well it sounds like you need your wits about you, I suppose you get use to it, just like here really only here they rob you on paper in England! lots of love auntie M XXXXXXXX

Hi Sara
Just read your last account of the taxi driver incident, no change there then, taking the scenic route to push up the charges. but hitting the other passenger, that was disgusting. I hope all the locals are not like that for your sake! I had a closer look at your pictures today with Nicola, they are really good, especially the ones of the beach when the sun is setting. Look forward to more. Speak soon.
Luv Mxxxxx
Nicola
