Hey Mark! Happy belated birthday, are you going to post your BM pictures/blog? when do we get to see you again?

and to think you are missing X factor and strictly come dancing....

Hope you had a good birthday and managed to have a large piece of cake.

forgot to say... you know that nice chap you met at the Pots, who had a harley? well, he was so inspired by you that he bought exactly the same bike and rode it from john o'groats to london, where a perfect trip was cut short by mad car driver and an assortment of broken bones. he's still cheerful, and asked after you... vx

Hope your travels are still going well - seems a while since we had an update. Julia x
