Mumma and Dad are in Spain having beautiful weather, whilst England is wet and rubbish really (i was soo lucky for the weather in my party weekend) But im off to spain also cant wait leaving on the 2nd of july so will pass mum and dad in the sky.

Went to Natasha Handcombs wedding on Saturday. Olis mum, dad and sister aneka were all there, they said how Oli and his girlfriend had such a great time with you guys (which you can see from the pics you have put up) they said they really missed you two when they came home, which is a nice thing on your half.

Hi !!!!!

Big brother here.

Were exactly are you, maybe I or we want to visit. A vacation in Indonesia Wouldn´t be to bad.

How is the break´s Jake ? hope that you dried surfing, "it´s not a sport.....it´s a lifestyle", yuo have to try because the first time you catch a wave you feel like king of the world.... Same for you, sister. you´l be the Queen .

I read that you got work...cool ! It´s the best way to get close to the comunity and get to know the inhabitant´s.

I know some naughty swedish words you can teach them. For example....MOROT....KRULLA....SNITTA....SNABEL....JÄRNVÄGAR....JÖSSES AMALIA.... . WOW !!!! It´s a beginning and in all probability the end of all relations to your side of the family Jake. Lets hope that they don´t have a dictionary.

HA ! HA ! HA !

Hi Jake - really envious of your adventures - look forward to hearing all about things when you get back later in the year - Jan and I having a super time in Spain with Richards senior - all the best Tony and Jan Reed.

Just a quickie as I am at work and should be working.

Nina's 21st was just the best party we have had for ages. Lots of people, food and wine. Also plenty of sunshine. We have loads of great pictures to show. When Chris Lock walked in the garden it just made me miss you even more. Then had some wine and was fine. The weather was fantastic quite a few went swimming not as many as when you had your party but then that was boys, girls are far more refined. Ha Ha.

Have fun teaching the children both of you. I love your job title Agneta very grand.

Lots of Love Mum xxx

Hi Everyone!

Sorry our site has not been updated for a while but we can assure you now that we're back in the land of broadband we'll get right up to date so you'd better put aside the whole of the weekend to get through the pics!

After spending just over 6 weeks on Bali and Lombok we're now in Kuala Lumpa in Malaysia. The main purpose of our stop here is to get a further 30 days visa for Bali so that we can do our volunteering. However since being here in KL (2 days now) we've just shopped and then did some more shopping. Usually I'd (Jake) complain because there are only so many handbag, shoes and womens clothes shops I can handle in a day....but it turns out that the choice here for blokes is probably better than for women! So today Agneta bought a t-shirt whilst I bought 2 pairs of shorts, some trainers and a man bag all for under 30 quid!!! Just gotta work out how to carry it all.

We fly back to Bali in 4 days time and then start our volunteering for the International Humanity Foundation. This will involve us doing assigned tasks in the mornings. Agneta is the new Director of Lectures and Conferences Team which she is very pleased with, whilst I am something far less glamorous....the cleaner or chicken plucker or something along those lines! Then in the afternoons we'll be assisting local teachers to help teach English, Maths and computer skills to local children aged between 8 - 18. It should be great fun the only downers are that we'll be working 6 days a week (which is hard after not working at all for the last 4 months) and we are not allowed to share a room. Agneta gets her own room whilst I have to get cozy with a guy called Abooboo!

Thanks for the messages that you've posted recently, here's a few personal responses:

Mum - I'm glad Suzie liked the present and tell her all she needs to do it get online and communicate through this.

Nina - my model sister....I'm very proud of the work you've done...but please for my sake...just make sure you keep your clothes ON!! Oh yeah and have a wicked 21st Birthday party, we both wish we could be there.

Anki - Congratulation on your lastest baby boy Elis! We both can't wait to visit your expanding family when we've finished our trip.

Anita - The ears are better now thanks, we think there was something in the water around the islands so we're not going back there in a hurry! You must try diving, Agneta was nervous before she tried but is now hooked just like me!

Keep the messages coming guys. When we're back in Bali we might not have great access to the internet as we'll be staying in a small village.

Love J&A

PS I'm sure you'll all be glad to know that we've extended our trip a futher couple of weeks so we won't be home until the beginning of September now.

Hi Both

Aunty Suzie say a big thank you for the prezzie. The postcard from you both is taking pride and place on the sideboard. She sent you some jokes via the mobile phone but you have changed your number. She said she cant keep up with you. Don't know what happened on the last 2 messages but my message did not appear. Nina's 21st party this weekend. Wish you were both here missing you loads.
