HappyChristmas Boys and to Lou and Pat!I guess your Christmas has already started since you are a day ahead! So I hope you all have a wonderful time.

Thanks for the phone number and your message Sam,,,,,,did try to ring but couldn't get through so sent a text,Hopefully will get to speak over the next couple of days.......first Christmas without you around in 18 years......you will be greatly missed.

Katie and Mark's wedding day was perfect.Katie looked stunning and Mark shaped up pretty well.However their opening dance was something else........Strictly Come Dancing eat your hats,the Tintagel talent leaves you standing!

Lots of love and a big hug to you all

Hi Boys

Just to let you know I'm back from Spain and had a good time, blue skies.sunshine and lots of oranges on the trees.We were whitewashing walls which was a laugh as none of us were expert painters and as you can imagine there was paint everywhere but at least some stuck on the walls!

Went higher up into the mountains a couple of times,very beautiful and managed to resist the urge to buy more rugs which they make locally...after last time decided carrying them back would be too much!Also didn't have any surf bags at the ready!

Castro had a good time with Gran and Millie and Mr. Blobby survived on his long term fish food.Tash is as fat as ever!

Glad to hear you made it to Sydney safely,the photos look amazing.

Have fun,be safe and don't forget the old sun screen and the other essential safety device!

Lots of love to you all xxx

Ps. Arrived home to about 50 dodgy e mails from some dodgy site you have been on!

Hi Boys

Hope all is going well and the van is holding up with all those miles.

The weather is horrendous here....high wind.rain and fog.Tintagel is like one of those ghost towns on old Westerns with everything blowing about and no one on the streets.Castro will have to forgo his late night cliff walk tonight as I fear we would get blown away - he is not happy!

I'm off to Gran.s tomorrow.then up to the Spanish mountains...they e mailed me to say they provide overalls and gloves which is worrying....I wonder what I will have to do! If its painting they will soon change their minds! I'll be back next weekend so will let you know!

Better go and look for my passport!

Take care and make the most of warmer climes

Lots of love to you all

Ps I have it on good advice that sharks are attracted to urrine so no peeing in wet suits or the sea - do you need wet suits out there?!
