If you want to send her a message send it to my e mail. Stuart and Joke

Eleanor Everything sounds so exciting now,we are all envious, but like Shenagh have to be sarisfied with our humble travels, I think Ive done well getting to the hairdresser, and we are going to Manchester on Sunday, cant get much more adventirous than that. Make sure you put all the snakes back in their kennels . Love and lots looking forward to seeing you both. Nana

Shenagh and Paul Getting quite jealous of everyone being away! Paul is back from Zambia with tales of people, places and views and is back there again in a few weeks.He's also just been asked if he would be interested in going to Dubai. I'll just mosey around going to exotic places like Ipswich, Norwich and Basingstoke. Oh, and my landrover has just died! RIP. Have loads of fun. Luv, us.

Eleanor here I am back at last, this technology and ma are not compatible!Hope you are still enjoying it all, your taxi ride sounded abit grim, but maybe now you have seen everything in daylight it will be better. I am getting quite excited about going to Marlow next week, Saturday I went to Gordale, by taxi with a friend who wanted some plants, turns out she wanted them for me, and she has done some lovely hanging baskets...even a hanging basket can be exciting when you don't get out much. keep on with the adventure, take care of each other, love you, see you again soon. Nana.xxxxx

Linda Hi, hope the next 4 weeks goes well. with a bit of help from Richard (who sends his love) I've found your blog.

Jonathan Hi, just a quick reminder as you reach the Whitsundays there is a certain boat to catch. The diving in Blue Pearl Bay is really worth while. Somehow get to Whitehaven beach, you will not regret the effort. Be Good, enjoy the islands and keep up the "Strong Tea" Jonathan.
