G'day cobbers - been looking at your pics, what a fantastic time you're having - are you sure you'll be back at Christmas???? Katy and Marcus have got jobs at the local 'One-Stop', Marcus started last night and Katy is due to start on Monday - I wonder how long she'll last - she keeps saying that if she sees someone she knows she'll hide behind the magazine rack - seeing that it's our local shop it looks like she'll be spending most of her time there!!! Mary Jane, Deb and I had a great time in Wales - we hired some bikes and went for a long cycle ride, (the last time I rode a bike was when we were over with you in France and I spent more time in the ditches than on the road!) this time I managed to stay upright, well at least until we dropped into the pub for a drink on the way back!!! Have you had the opportunity to use the washing line yet???!!! Keep on having the time of your lives. Much love Clare, Jim, Katy and Marcus xxxx

Hi Annie and Tom

Just caught up with your news and it all sounds fantastic. Can't compete as no sky diving available oop Naish...!

Mum, Dad and Mike are coming down to this neck of the woods next week which will be really nice. I think Dad might be sailing in. Looking forward to hearing how Ems is too.

It's really lovely seeing all your postcards, photos and news on this website.

Keep well and happy.

Lots of love Ange xxxxx

Hi Tomandanna

Thanx for the postcard, sorry its taken me so long to get back to you. Sounds like u had an amazing time in N.Z. Seems like you have the skiing bug...an expensive pastime!!!! We had a great time in Greece again this summer, wall to wall sunshine, clear blue sea and a fair wind , seems a long time ago already though.
Are you missing this Green and Pleasant Land, or are you looking forward to retuning to the U.K.? Will you be back for Christmas? Need to know whether to buy you a present....Hope you are both o.k. and enjoying the world tour. Keep away form the earthquake zones. Lots of love S,C,S and S xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi there guys! I'm sorry for the lack of emails, I hope you don't hold it against me personally. It's just that I'm rather preoccupied at the moment what with all the various gangs of undesirables trying to shoot me and all of the "beefs" my publicist has dragged me into. If people only knew that what I really enjoy most is a warm cup of Bovril and quiet game of Scrabble with Dr Dre. I try to keep up to date with all my pals but things have gone awry due to this whole videogame shebang I'm apparently starring in. Can't stand the damn things personally, I always say that there's nothing that can challenge the mind quite like a crossword (or possibly this meddlesome "Sudoku" Lloyd Banks seems so fascinated with). Well, I best be off now. Who knows which contemporary I will be obliged to engage in a ruthless verbal sparring match with? I tire of this constant barbarity, so uncouth. Oh, and just to let you both know, if you are interested; Tony Yayo has been working on some wonderful G-Unit knitting patterns. All types of sweaters, cardigans and warm winter clothing. Happy travels and goodbye.

I know you don't feel forgotten by me 'cos I'm always sending you emails! Anyway hope this encourages others to leave some messages. Loads of love Mum/Deb x

Which cheese never tells the truth? Lychees, cos they're not even a cheese.

Hi everyone, we need some new messages on our board, it seems that people have got a bit lazy! So tell us what you think of our new photos, or just tell us how you're getting on back in your home countries!! Or just tell us a joke, anything will do, we're feeling neglected!

Alright guys! Sorry been a bit slow on the old msgs! Had a wicked time in Melbourne, didn't wanna leave, shame money rules the world. Your pics look awesome! Defo have to go n see Magnetic Island - sand looks well nice! If you make as far down as Melborne you gotta check out the ocean road, well good trip - i had a bit of a nightmare though and lost the cd i downloaded my pics onto - arhhh!! A lot of swearing and shouting followed but yeah pretty gutted. Managed to get some back though though recovery program at shop. Anyways hope you're both having a top time n hopefully see you soon. In Sydney now by the way and should be here for the next few weeks, been great so far jus been out getting drunk every night - been a lot of fun. Anyways laters Chris

Hi all,

We are having a great time making our way down the East Coast. We've just done Fraser Island which was awesome! We made some great friends, got very drunk and had fun driving around the sand in the 4x4! We are heading down to Noussa and then on to Brisbane in the next few days. Helen we'll be knocking on your door shortly.

Hope everyone is well,

Tom and Anna

Hi Tom and Anna, looks like you are having a great time in Australia. We thought you might! The Whitsunday islands look beautiful and the diving must have been superb. We are now in Houston and all is well. There was virtually no damage around here and even on the coast at Galveston was fine. Temperature around 90 but a cold front due at the weekend so it will be only in the 80s! Anyway enjoy Oz and the cold beer. Take care. G&S

Hi guys! The scenery looks fantastic! You have seen more of queensland than I have in my lifetime, it just looks so gorgeous, I will have to go there. Keep enjoying the sights and see you soon in Brisvegas!

Hi, hope you're having a bonzer time in Oz. Hope you're going to have some snags washed down with a bit of the amber nectar! Does it show that I'm watching too many episodes of Neighbours? I hope you have as much of a good time in Oz as you did in NZ - it may be difficult to beat. Mike is very impressed with your knowledge of rugby. He is Fly Half by the way in the school team and Full Back in the OE's team. Keep the pictures coming they are great. Watch out for SKIPPY! LOL
