Dear Rickle and Posh

Had a quick read through your blog(Sorry I'm a male and my attention span doesnt last that long!)

Glad you guys are still safe and I'm sure your looking forward to relaxing in Canada. I can't wait to give you a massive hug in New Zealand! Not sure about you Jen... Always had more feelings for Rich! ;))))

Sent you another mail about New Zealand if you get a chance have a read.

Can you believe SA beat Oz! Awesome feeling expecially coming into work on Monday and being the only Saffa in an office filled with Aussies. Although everyone is so nice it makes it hard to gloat! But I found a few one liners...

Love to you both

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Dear Richie and Jen Jen,

Been reading your blog, very interesting! As usual Richard has managed to sum up an entire continent on his experiences of shopping and going to the toilet. I loved hearing about the football match you went to, I would also love to know how you, Jenny, were pressured into going!

It all sounds amazing and we're glad you are having a great time.

Sam is getting bigger everyday and the little one has been giving her insides a right shoeing! You can feel little arms, legs and feet moving about and when I have little chat with the belly monster they react with little kicks and punches! Not long to go now!

We'll hopefully speak to you over christmas when your at Auntie Chris's. Richard, please only speak to me if you are sober.

Lots of love,

Jimbo, Sammy and the bump!

Dear Jen and Rich,

snuggled here with alcohol close at hand looking at your gorgeous phots. Each time we see the next batch we get itchier feet - wonder why that is?? All broken up for christmas now and suitably chilled, missing you and hoping that Flat Stanley has arrived safe and sound!! Have a great Christmas - we'll be thinking of you ,

love and kisses, sam and the Gape clan. xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hey guys!!

Cant believe you have completed the first leg of your journey already! The time is flying by - You sound like you have had a fantastic time in South America - very jealous.

Thanks for your email the other day, sorry been a bit slow on the old message front, work been crazy busy as we move into our new offices, but now we are all settled and looking forward to Xmas! Hoping to go and visit some wedding venues over the xmas holidays, so will obviously keep you posted on the plans! Dont worry Jen, I wont let you get away with not hearing about every plan I make - Think I am quite looking forward to turning into a bridezilla - Nick on the other hand is more than happy to let me do everything! All I know is that the boys have to plan him a damn good stag do to compete with my hen do - I am looking forward to that so much!

Anyway need to pop to M&S to get my dad a tie for Xmas

Missing you both terribly at this time of year

Enjoy Canada and make sure you keep us updated!

Love

Jules

Hello mate!

Only just got my arse in gear to have a look now the year 11s are off on study leave. But the photos look quality, Patagonia especially outstanding! As Charlie mentions days are now dark here and this week you've had to get up 5 mins earlier just to scrape the ice of the car, infact I recon Patagonia looks warmer... what's with the t-shirts!. Ah well at least we got the staff do next Friday to cheer us up (although thankfully on a Friday this time) as something amusing usually happens. Just a pity a certain individual is not about any more to provide the preverbial pole for any aspiring pole dancers! Anyways hope you both have a wicked christmas wherever you are for it.

See ya! Alex

Thanks for the facebook message, reminding me what I'm missing out on! Just read your blog for Bolivia, it's so funny, you took the exact same La Paz - Copacabana journey as me, and had the same Lake Titicaca trip. And had the same songs sung to you apparently (thought they might have changed the nursery rhyme by now)!

I thought the same of La Paz after Cuzco, although it did grow on me. Looking forward to reading what else you get up to x

Hi you two, awesome pics!!! Hiking and trekking for days on end.....sounds like soooo much fun! Must get Jase to do it with me= Not! Miss you so much, seems like lite years since ive been able to chat you heads off! Sienna growing. 6 wks old now. Going to S.A on April. Weather awful and nearly xmas. Work tough last two weeks with bloomng nativities, bet your missing them eh Jen? You both looks so fit and gorgeous. Having botox tomorrow. Love to you both Caroline & co xxxxx

As the big man below said I did give him what was requested. On a different note, get that camcorder we bought you out from the bottom of your bag and use it. WE WANT VIDEO, WE WANT VIDEO, WE WANT VIDEO

Love to you both and enjoy the festive period in Canada

ps. Motivation is zero as England is now dark all day!

Hi Happy Travellers

Just a quick note to see how things are going, Chaz gave me the slap on the arse which was very nice, the rugby was a bit dissappointing but still had a good lod drink in your absence, Geoff managed 1 drink all day, Gra and me made up for it.

Looking forward to the Xmas do as he is coming out early with me Chaz & Gra, should be interesting.

Well carry on enjoying yourselfs, have a great Christmas were ever you are.

All the best

Hi chaps.

It looks like you are having a great time, enjoy it, Pinner doesn't look quite so nice after seeing those photos.

Clarke you're looking lovely (without the beard), Rangers are doing fine without you

Jen you're looking a bit ropey

Love Jarv

Hello Guys,

Hi jen/rich

Your parcel arrived all contents ok. We checked the photos and passed them on to Peter and Valerie. Hope you are still having a great time and your stomachs are better!!. We have taken your car out a few times all is well starts first time but seems to be growing moss and vegatation inside and out. Decorating is coming on well almost down to the ground floor. Mum has learnt how to be a couch potato and now is an expert on the sky remote control. Miss you both loads, love mum and dad.
