Hi Jack and all the boys, Well you are all on the way to Oz now and that will be a bit different I guess. Thanks for your long message Jack and all the photos. What an amazing time you are all having and still more to come. I am getting near to my moving date now and all stressed out that I won't be ready in time! Amber is wondering what is going on and will wonder a bit more when she ends up in the cattery I guess. Also I have now got a date for my first knee replacement so watch out, I might even be able to catch you when you get back and you are cheeky to me!! Hope everything continues to go well and you enjoy the next stage of your amazing trip. Still missing you loads - seems so quiet at Miller Road when I go over there! Take care and loads of love, Nana xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi James and all you Guys

Wow this Aunty (of James') is green! Bali and all your photos look absolutely the best. Don't you all look wow - I'm sure you must be attracting a lot of female interest! The villa in Bali looks so blissful in terms of very chilled - although you are all enjoying the warmth, but it all looks so relaxed from the pressured environments of home here.

I am trying to read your blogs and keep up with everything and it is good James to know what a great trip you are having. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy and keep in touch.

Neil and I send big hugs

Aunty Aliciaxxxx

Hello James and all the lads. It was lovely to hear your voice James and catch up on your news. Everyone in the office got very excited when they realised it was you and wanted to know where you were, etc. My well-travelled colleague Linda tells me that the Oz customs are really strict with arrivals from Bali - they'll confiscate food and leather goods and anything they take their fancy to. So if you've bought anything leathery, I suggest you pack it in your bags and not have it on display. Have fun in Oz. Send us some more pics 'cos us old folks back home need a sunshine fix. Take care y'all and keep in touch. Lots of love Mum x
