Mom Rhodes Hello my lovelies, have been expecting the final entries to your blog, but guess you may have hit 'technical' problems. Trust you are ok and that Drum is too. I expect you are feeling sad at having to come back. We shall miss keeping up with you and the photos, but we look forward to seeing all the others you've taken. Do have a safe journey back, I expect you are on the boat now (Sun.19th 11.15am) Take care, our love always xxxxxxxxxxxx

Sue & Sarah Only 4 more days to go! can't believe how quickly it's gone. When we get back we will have the blog printed as a book which will be a lovely keepsake. If youv'e got any messages for us put them on now coz the messages go in the printed blog too. We've missed you all but could do this for much longer.......maybe next time. Hope youv'e enjoyed and see you all soon......look out for the next couple of enteries, Sarah's night in the Red light district! & Our last 2 days in Bruges, Belgium. xxx

Helen Just read the blog - very funny, but I'm afraid Drum still gets my vote... The Pics are, again, gorgeous and the cake Sarah had stuck in her gob looked yummy - can we have one please? Great to see you on Sype last night, sorry it crashed - again. It's good to see where you are on the map - very clever that is! Lovin' you all. xxx

Mom Rhodes Hello my lovelies, great to be able to talk on Skype, you're looking very well and obviously enjoying the experience, inspite of being followed by the cyclone! We're enjoying your blog and pics. Love to Drum and I agree with Dolly "give the poor lad a sausage"!

Helen Hello again... I have to say - Drums entries on the blog are always the most interesting and amusing... and for pitties sake, give the poor lad a sausage! That's all. Thank you.

Helen Hey guys, just checking in...! I thing it's time we had some video footage! The photos are brill, but I'd like to see some moving pictures...? You sound like you're having a ball - please share? Love you all very much, kiss Drum square between the eyes for me. xxx

Mom Rhodes Hello my lovelies, good to hear you this evening (It's Tuesday Min) have received latest blog from Albi. Drum sounds as though he's enjoying himself and glad the steak didn't upset him. Sounds lovely where you are on the banks of Avion and your drive to Tarn Valley. those photos should be good. Can't believe we can see you and hear about each stage. Modern technology eh! Do take care and of Drum, can't he have a fan attached to his collar. Love you loads and Dad sends his love xxxxxxxxxxxx

Helen Dear Drum, I'm sorry some feral cat nicked your biscuits! It's a shame you couldn't get to it! I'm also sorry about the tic-tac... But mumma sorted it I know! Brave lady! Anyway, hope you're enjoying the sun and swimming, please look after the b****s and try not to s*** on the beach again cos' I'm not sure their flip-flops are really made for digging holes... Good boy... xxx
