mum Hi Scott, well the journey is nearly over but what a wonderful one you have had! Dad says if you let him know terminal and flight number he could get down to pick you up, thats up to you. Take care on last leg of your journey, luv mum xxxxx

Mum Hi Scott hope everything is going to plan. Remember to let us know what time you are arriving back at Heathrow. Looking forward to having you home lots of love mum and dad xxxxxxxxxxx

mum Hi Scott, wonderful blog today and i am sure you can make this into a book someday as i felt like i was really there on that beach! Its going to seem strange coming home to normal life, but you say you have the next 3 years planned out? We are all really looking forward to seeing you and hearing about everything you haven't blogged. I am at work on an early friday but dad will be here in the afternoon. Look forward to hearing from you love mum and dad xxx

Mats Mum Yet more wonderfully evocative descriptions! I love your writing style and have especially enjoyed reading todays Kyoto blog. I'd love to know what a 'funky smell' is - joss sticks? Enjoy your last days in Japan Scott and have a safe journey home. Kay

mum Hi Scott, hope you are making most of all the opportunities to practice your japanese, as you will need it if you decide to go back one day to teach. Everything sounds great and i bet you won't want to come home. Craig put money in your account by the way. another damp sunless day in england. carry on having a good time and posting your blog, luv mum xxxx

mum Hi Scott, guess you like those oriental girls. Glad you sorted bank out. Don't know about the overdraft, i paid minimum payment off credit card but maybe craig paid some into your account. Can u e-mail craig the number of current account, as i can pay some more in then, but don't want to put it in wrong one. do you need more paid off credit card to make sure you have enough cash. love you mumxxx

mum Hi Scott again, the number you need to phone bank on is 00441702278274 I think this is the same one you had before that caused problems. Not sure if its about your debit or credit card. I have tried to talk to them but data protection act stops them discussing anything. All i can say is if you have problems i can moneygram money out to you. My email address is [email protected]. Let me know when you get this message luv mum

mum Hi Scott, you definately seem to be getting to know your real self, japanese gardens and temples. Seems you may be visiting the garden centres and church with me when you get home. Only Joking! Life here same old dark chilly and boring. will look forward to hearing about everything over a nice restuarant meal and wine when you get home. Scott while leaving this blog Ltsb phones again about fraud. Seems you have to phone them again. luv mum xxx

mum Hi Scott, what a wonderful place, it all sounds so beautiful and almost spiritual. You seem to be really enjoying Japan, it hasn't disappointed u at all. By the way phoned bedford uni and told them u would be attending interview and would send letter back when you get home. They said if u get chance to e-mail acceptance of interview they would appreciate it. Carry on having a wonderful time my wonderful boy, love mum xxxx

mum Hi Scott, have you managed to get through to bank yet. yes they are bloody useless, i agree! I can pay the train tickets off you had on the credit card and then you will have the full amount of £1000 to spend on it if you want. Let me know if you want me to do that, then you can owe me the money when you get home love you lots mum;xxxxxxxxx
