Ok Toodle pip xx

your photos and blog are great. Alan you and Amy are very brave doing rock climbing,looks scary. Dad and I went to see James Taylor at the MEN last night, it was really good, his voice is just as good live as on CD, effortless singing. Towards the end of the concert he asked people to come to the front of the stage, that was it, I was off, left Dad in his seat. It,s very hot and humid here today- won't last. Were going to Menorca in two weeks. Dad's on holiday from tommorow. Take care, love Mum and Dad. xxx

Just read your blog to discover that you are travelling to the southern isles today. What great adventures you are having.Thank you so much Amy, for your PC we were thrilled to receieve it. We have just returned from Sian's after a two week holiday. We spent 7 days on Swiss Rail which included a seven and a half hour trip on the Glacier Express. It is a wonderful way to explore SWitzerland. Pete and 24 other guys cycled round Lake Geneva in pouring rain and Bryn and I served them a cream tea in a lakeside village with 60km to go. Have fun love to you both.

It was great to hear you on the phone the other day: you and Amy seem to be having a great time. The weather today is horrible, cold and heavy rain - it was really hot at the begining of the week. Dad and I are going to just outside Hull for the weekend, meeting some people from school for a meal at a top class restaurant. Take care love Mum and Dad xxx.

Hi Amy, thank you for your postcard it arrived a couple of weeks ago, I enjoyed reading it as no one sends postcards these days. I have just been reading your blog entries. The Geneva one made me laugh because no sooner had you arrived than you were moving furniture. This is very much a Jones' tradition - you never go to someone's house without helping them move furniture! It sounds like you are having a fantastic time and photos look amazing. I am busy here building up for next sale in mid June and also publicising some comedy taking place here in Geneva, with Frankie Boyle and Arthur Smith - so I hope I will get to meet them. Boys all doing well and following the football. What you are going to do in the summer Alan with no football I don't know. Anyway keep up the good work. love Sian etc

Hiya, just thought that you should know, that Caroline that used to work in the Catty died on Tuesday. They think she had a bleed in her brain. Just thought you should know. Hope you're both ok and having a good time. Mum and Dad got your package today.

Hey trekkers! The elephant ride looked good- save your legs for a while! How long did it take to build the rafts?- was it hard? My mum used to take part in a raft race every year with the hockey team- she said it was a god laugh. Did any of you fall in?

Think the message I sent before, I sent it to the wrong bit. But it doesn't matter. At least you know we are looking at your blog and wishing you well on the rest of the trip.

We're now in Cape Town after a fantastic 5 days in the game park near Kruger. We arrived at our Cape Town hotel yesteray afternoon, but our luggage didn't: it's still 2 flights and about 100km away at the moment, but we hope it will arrive this afternoon.

We'll take a bus tour of Cape Town today and will hire a car for a couple of days to allow us to go further afield.

We're still enjoying your blog - we like the photos!

Happy Easter, hope you're both well.

Love

Mum and Dad

Alan are you going to shave on this trip? P.S can you get me a duckling?
