Jenny Head Just to let you know I'm in my new job...saving trees etc. Everyone is lovely and my job is great. Can't tell you how shocked I was to hear you had eaten Guinea Pig, bit of a turnaround from the Vegetarian bird I first met oh so many years ago.... Said goodbye to Helen on Sunday and I cried....I'm not liking all of you not being in the country. Only the 3 J's left...Jenny Mac, Jane and me! Looking forward to seeing you very very soon. I'm missing you lots xxx Also looking forward to pictures of the blue boobies...cold was it? Should of taken a vest!

Dad Hi - have put a few pictures from the weekend on the site. Fun time had by all - only you and Wendy missing. We demonstrated your website to the multitude who were impressed. George is a real cutie, walking and making noises. Went to see Clare at Spitalfields which was interesting and Grandma really enjoyed the Eye and river trip - as well as open topped bus ride. Clo might be persuaded to ring the insurance company - once I've got the details right. Love Dad

Rhys heyhey! Hope you're having a cool time in Galapagos. I got some splendid photos of Blue Footed Boobies back today. yay! Good work with the Colombia photos too. I'm not liking being back in England butI suppose at least here nobody wants a sauna building and i don't get sent down a hill and through a river to get the milk... Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Rhys x

Lauren Hey abbi, good work with cotopaxi, we hiked to the refuge and then biked to the lake. Just got back to England now, and I already want to go back! Have fun in the galapagos. XX Me XX

Clo Excellent nun spotting Chris! Although I'm not sure if such blatant photgraphing might have been against one of Abbi's extensive list of wierd rules... Hi Abs too, by the way. Hope the blue footed boobies are as good as expected. See you in a few weeks, love Clo xx

Chris Now then abigail. Ok so it took me a while but I am finally on t'internet, modern technology is amazing!! As promised I have put a few photos of my travels on your photos page so you can see what I have been up to. Hope you like the Nuns! Anyhoo, I'll see you in a couple of weeks, have fun, Chris xx

Nadya Hey Abbi, you{ve got some good photos going on here. Hope you had fun with Cotapazi and all, and enjoy the rest of your time out here. It was good to meet you, Nadya x

Betty Higgins Hello there! I hope you took your winter woollies as well as your summer gear because it must have been verycold up in them thar mountains. I have really enjoyed keeping up with your activities. i managed to get as far as Walton-on-Thames and had a few days there with June. We went to see Shrek 2. I did not intend seeing it but it seemed right to see it with June. I rang Clare lastt night and arranged to go and see her flat when we go to London in Augugst. You have had a lot of messages - oh and I forgot I visited George the dynamic dribbler - at least that is what is written on his jumper. Must go. Look forward to seeing you in just over a months time. Grandmma - Lots of love.

Clo P.s. Just been looking through your postcards and am inpressed that you have also discovered time travel! Was Quilatoa good on January 1st, 1970?

Clo Hi Abs, I don't believe you actually ate a guinea pig! And I never will unless you actually took a photo. Will we have to guard Octavius and Hercules from your rodent eating ways when you return? We've got a kitchen floor now. Not as exciting as eating small fluffy pets, but at least I can walk in my kitchen without any shoes on now! Anyway, remember that you aren't allowed to eat the Blue Footed Boobies when you get to the Galapagos, even if it would be a good photo op. Love Clo xx

abs hi guys, wicked to hear from you all.. jealous of all your climbing, but then i can hardly talk! am in the middle of my second placement now and its freezing up at 3200m! but the scenery is cool and theres loads of walking and i got to eat guinea pig!! mind you, theres not much meat on them!! see you all in 5 weeks, keep up the messages!!

Kat Hey Abbi - Sounds like you're having a brilliant time, I love reading your website, it really livens up my lunch time! Have you seen any scary snakes? I've just had my contract renewed till after christmas up here in the midlands, but still missing Brighton, especially now its summer! Just got back from a holiday in California (San Fransisco area), had a fab time ..... looking forward to hearing all your stories when you get back! See you soon Kat xx

Ric Hi Abs, sounds like you're having loads of fun... wish I was there to see your face with the cow, snails + tarantella...can imagine! :) Anyway, it all makes my lunch time more interesting! Ahh, it's only a matter of time until I get to be out there - will have to have a get together when you're back for me to plan! Finally, you'll be thrilled to hear that I managed to make it all the way around the 2nd mountain bike marathon last week, without ending up in hospital! Anyway, lunch over.. R

Woolly Hiya Abbi Good to hear you're having an amazing time! Am very jealous!! Is great that all your efforts are going to good causes too, I'm sure they're appreciated! Stunning photos, keep them coming! Am in Wales this week learning how to Survive in Hostile regions, interesting but no where near as exciting as your travels! Keep in touch love Woolly xx

Jonathan Hi Abbi. Cheers for keeping me posted. Great photo's, and your postcard sounds good too. Things have been pritty wet in the UK recently, but I did manage to do a quality long peak limestone HVS a few wks ago. I am also going to the Dolomites next month to do some via ferrata syle climbing, trekking and most likely a downhill course with my cousin who now lives out there.
