Hi Ash, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Sorry for the 'Patsy' mistery. I'd had a couple of drinks and thought it would be amusing. I'm a fan of Johanna Lumley in "Absolutely Fabulous" - you may not have got that bit! I must speak to your Mum she thinks a mad coulple are emailing you! (or so I've been told by Nan!) I take it you've left Thailand? Nan heard about the bombs in Bangkok and was getting concerned! I said I thought you'd left there now. The weather here is grotty, rainy and damp, rather be where you are. Take care, love from Auntie Jacqui and co. xxx

Happy New Year Boys !!! Hope your having a fantastic time travelling Asia you will miss it when you leave as everywhere else is damn expensive! where are you seeing in 2007? Were in San Francisco checked into a hotel for the night and heading out to party the American way!!! Coming to the end of our travels now make the most of your time away and love every moment, take care sammy and jess xxx

Hi Ash/Brainer, Your a bit lax in producing your blog updates! Looking forward to the next one. Ash I was speaking to Tye on boxing day and his son is out there at the moment, he has DJ'd at the moon party before. Tye said to keep your wits about you cause it attracts (apart from the good people) vagabonds, theives, nutters, so you and Brainer will be ok! Can't think of tyes sons name but he fell asleep on the beach and had all his wallet, passport etc nicked. Just be aware. Don't know why I've become this protective farther all of a sudden,cause your going to learn more from this whole trip and experience than I could ever advise. Although I'd like to think I have taught you (apart from spelling) everything you know but not everything I know! Any way have a great new year. Love DadX

Hi There, Glad to see your having fun, Can't wait till i'm there in March! Hope you had a great Christmas and enjoy New Year in the sun. I'm off to NYC in the morning to see the new year in. Bye for now. Vicx

Ash - my man. Now Ash, remember your YHA and lake district days! (1) Always wash between your legs (2) check your boots before retiring for scorpions and (3) have a great time! We're at your Mum & Dad's with 'the gang'. Lovely to see & chat to Charlotte again too..... and as Bob says 'stay forever young'!! Bye for now from us all. Take care & tell us lots of tales when you get back. Love, happy new year & bon voyage Jan & Pete

Hi ya, It was a great surprise to hear from you on Christmas Day! Hope you enjoyed the Thai hospitality I have a few friends who go there every Christmas to soak up the sun, golf courses and other things I won't mention but, I'm sure you may discover!! Perhaps me and your Dad can go backpacking soon I think it would be great! it sounds like he's fed-up with feeding the pigs! and would benefit from more desirable breasts than red ones!! Must get back to my champers darling! Hope you have an absolutely fabulous time, stay safe. Love from Patsy and Eddie

Get them back pack on and run up and down the beach, sit ups, reps, press. Careful if you go in the sea they shot whales dont they?
