Hey! So glad things are still fab for you. Am really missing you both - the postcard was great and we will definitely take your advice with giving OZ a visit (sometime!). Mum and dad visited last weekend which is always great but this weekend have done nothing but marking - am trying to keep ahead of things. Gary is working as usual! Had a fab massage yesterday - much needed! It's been great though as he's had a few days off recently so we have done lots of bits and bobz. Your invite has gone out this week so it'll be waiting at home for you when you get back. Keep on having fun - wish you were here. lots of love lis xxxx

Hi Hayley and Tom,
Just spent the last hour looking at your photo's and reading your hundreds of messages! It looks amazing, we are sooo envious of you both!! Thanks so much for the postcard, it was lovely to hear from you. What fabulous memories you two are going to have when you get back. Hope you continue to enjoy every minute of your adventure.
Loads of Love from all of us.

Hi people
How are you doing guys? Well, it's Saturday again. Not that it has made a great deal of difference today, as I have had to go to work. One of my dear old lady clients has died. I went to her funeral yesterday, and I have been to help her family out today. What truly lovely lovely people. 'Makes work not so bad after all.
Before I went fo see them at lunch time, I took Grandma to Leamington to look for fabric for my dress for the wedding. BUT, I have chaged my mind yet again, and might go for something different. I think Lis is beginning to despair with me. She has called me twice times today to see whether I had settled on something! Hey ho, I am sure that I will get there eventually. All that is important is that she is okay on the day, and is happy with how everything is. Bless her.
So where has life and the open road taken you this week? We are waiting for some photos, and will hopefully get to hear your voices again very soon.
Everyone else here is fine. (Apart from Rosie and her aching muscles! I don't think she knows what has hit her! Although otherwise she is really enthusiastic about her course. Just a few too many sit ups I think).
Dad is still mad anout school, John has gone to London to see Moko, and Katie is looking forward to her birthday. She and Jez are going to London for the day next weekend, and they are really looking forward to it. Especially as it means that Kate gets the day off work, and Jez doesn;t have to go to work plastering the chicken factory for the weekend. He hates it.
Well,I think I need to get on with some tidying up. Nothing different there hey!?
'Love and miss you both lots.
God Bless.

Hey! Glad you enjoyed Fraser Island. Did you sing the 'D.I.N.G.O song?! Your photos still look wonderful! I went to meet Raya from NZ in London last week which was fun....although my heal fell of my boot! I had to hobble around all day! The only benefit was that a man stood up and offered me his seat on the tube! Missing you xxx

Hi Guys
I'm bored - it's raining and cold and I've just had another look at your sunny photos to warm me up. Like that black & white photo of you and that greyhound bus Hayles, so I have printed it - bit grainy, but it will do till you come back with all the photies. I was thinking, how about we all emigrate to Brisbane and have our grandkids there - there's plenty of work for Neil Diamond tribute acts there - this country is nearly finished, Brown will completely wreck us in the next 4 years. So how's about it for all the families to move there. I need my dreams!! I am off to do my Neil Diamond show at the Matchborough church tomorrow night for the street children charity. It's the only local work I can get!!! Rather be doing it in Brisbane. Wonder if Kelly & Dave would like to Emigrate?
Ah well - back to reality I suppose.
Love you both X X X

Hi Kids
You really are having a good time - just looked at the latest photos - what an idyllic life!!?? Biking, surfing, nice to see you met up withSarah. Bet you won't want to come back, Australia looks like paradise to me, beats Blackpool on a wet afternoon.
I have printed a few of the photos out and stuck them on the board in the kitchen, well your mom has anyway. You will have a fantastic record of the trip around the world.
Love you loads - Dad and Mom ( she's in bed so I am writing this for her as well ) Take care - lots of prayers and love floating your way on the air-waves. X X X X X X X
