Hello the both of you. Hope you got the message I left on your phone about HSBC fraud dept. If not, Martin needs to call them. You can do reverse charge call to 0044 1226 347012 and the reference is G1. I guess they have noticed an unusual pattern of spending on your card, so they will block it if you don't get in touch!

It's a lovely sunny day here. Twinkle is enjoying it. Love you both, Mum

Well! The cookoo wasn't very loud on the video. Perhaps you had to be there and experience it to really appreciate it.

I had supper at Granny and Grandads yesterday with cousin Steven, Barbara and Amanda from California. They are sorry to miss you. They came here for coffee this morning, and have now gone to visit a friend in Switzerland. They are going to go on a boat up the Rhine and visit Paris before they come back here on 22nd for a Smithson family party.

I went to Tonys after work today to do his garden shoot. He says Hi! I'm going ther Saturday for Phizz's birthday party.

Jack moves house tomorrow, then he'll be home here, and doing the bathroom next week.....

Venice looks lovely - hope it wasn't too smelly. Switzerland really is like a picture postcard. You could easily spend 3 months in any 1 of the countries you are visiting.

I should take your time driving through Italy. Make sure you stop for Pizza, icecream or pasta often enough. Enjoy!

Lots of love to you both, Mum

Hi Kazzie & Martin. Sounds like you're having a great time! Hope you kept off the gateau, now it's time to keep off the Italian ice cream ! Just read your blog on your journey down from Titisee, the scenery sounds wonderful, especially Switzerland. Look after yourselves and take care. Love to you both. Barb & Alf.xxxxxxxxxxxxx
