Hi Gracie,
What is it with the Linz and Gordy?
What is it with the Linz and Gordy?
Why are they sending you messages twice?
I say, I say, Why are they sending you messages twice?????
Enough of that.
The weather here at home is superb at the moment. In fact I think our tans may beat yours (No, I'm lying!).
Tomorrow is the next football game for England in the World Cup. If they don't win they'll be out of it, so cross your fingers we win.
Take care
Lots more love

Looking forward to you all being together again. It's great that you haven't suffocated each other so you have all been able to do your own thing and get out of this experience what you have wanted.

Hello All- you are indifferent countries at the moment so I hope you are all well and having a wonderful time.
All fine here. It was Clare's birthday on Thursday and it's fathers' day tomorrow (Sunday).
Hope Phi Phi island is as good as last time Grace and Jess- try to stay sober!!!
Loved the blog post Jess- the detail is great!!
Weather here is wet and miserable at the moment!! We have had some lovely days though!!
Looking forward to having you home, though I suspect there will be mixed emotions about that from your points of view!!.
Take care and love to you in Vietnam and Thailand!

Hi all
Thanks again Jess for the super narrative, though Grace claims to have dictated it I know differently. Sounds like an education besides a holiday .... wish I was there. M x... x x x last 3 just for you Grace since you complained on previous message.
