Andy Hey guys the photos are wicked. Great to see you back from the middle east! Pretty awesome to hear that mum and johnny will be heading over to see you guys too. I am using john's website in my classroom at the moment on my smartboard so I might even puch the boat out and show the other nephews photo's too! You both look extremely happy and relaxed by Stonhenge. Take care. Love from us all.

Pauline Smith Wonderful, wonderful photo's. It was great to see one with both of you in it. Can't wait for Amsterdam. Love and hugs. Aunty 'Peen'

Andy Hey Guys, Your photo's of Santorini make me remember all those years ago when Anna and I were there. Is the sunset from Oia??? It looks the same as one of mine! Hope Cairo etc going well. Take care. Uncle A.

Pauline Hi there. A pinch and a punch for the first of the month.............. March already. You have been away nearly 5 months! Niik and Jeremy arrive tonight and we are all excited about having them stay with us. Looking forward to when you are online again. Love and hugs, Paulinexxxxxxxx

Pauline Hi there darlings. Glad that you are settling into life in London. You know, I think that the weather here in Sydney is probably very similar to the weather there - gloomy, wet and chilly!! I had to go to NZ for some sunshine. Had a great time - spent some time with Grandma and Grandad and some time on the farm with the Mulcahy's. Mat is going over on the 23rd Feb for a few days. How is the computer setup coming along? Am looking forward to when we can 'Skype' you. Love and Hugs, Paulinexxxxxxxx

Peter and Marionne Hi there you two. Well I guess you are now used to the colder duller weather that London brings with it, nevertheless it is a wonderful city. Lots of differing cultures and things to go. We hear that you have a wonderful job Kate - good amount of money for OT's which is great for you and your future travelling. Hope you are both keeping well. I am sure you will get some work soon Alan, good psychologists are also worth their weight in gold or sterling. Take care. Love Pete & Marionne xxxxxx

Mum and Dad Hello, Our Darling travellers. It is lovely to see you both looking so well. Are you feeling better, Kate? Did you really drink all of that beer and eat that delicious, enormous pork and crackling?! Dad is crying with envy. You look all bundled up against the cold. We are trying to wear as little as possible - it is hot. Was the concentration camp a somber place? Not long to go now before your snapshot of Europe is over, then the next stage of your adventure can begin! Continue to take care of each other. Love you MumE and Dad

Love you lots Sarah

Susan Wonderful photos. great reminders... I wanted to turn Catholic after I visited the Vatican, and will admit that it took me a while to work out why they had so many beautful 'wardrobes' in St Peters Bacillica. So good to be able to check on your progress. but then Granny keeps me updated as to where you are on any given day. Take care, enjoy it all. Lots of love. L

Phil n Lil Hey travellers! Well Phil and I only found out about this site of yours last week so we apologise. HAPPY NEW YEARS! You look like your are having a ball. It is so cool to see your pics, Phil and I went to a lot of the same places on our travels so while looking at the pics I would be like "Oh hey we have that same photo too". We hear that you will be settled in London after your tour and Phil and I are planning on being there mid August so hopefully we will be able to catch up with you both??? Anyway, take care. Luv Phil and Lil

Pauline Hi darlings. What a fantastic time you are having. And Alan, I think that it must be the bus that makes Kate unwell as I seem to recall something similar on a previous bus trip she did in Australia!!!! You two are doing us all a favour with your travelogue - I now know that I definitely what to go to Venice, Rome, Barcelona etc etc. Take care. Love and hugs. The Smithiesxxxxxxxx

Andy & Anna Hey Guys, Uncle Kev has just shown me how to get to your photos much quicker than I was trying to do! Trust him. Wow they bring back some cool memories for Anna and I. Apparently you and I have the same building OCD in our photo's Al! Way to go. Hope you had a wonderful xmas and new year. Take care. Ciao

Uncle Kev Hi guys. Just looked at Rome pics. Very nice but looks like it may be a bit cold. Nice and hot here. Hope you had a nice xmas and new year. Thanks for letting me use your bed. Bye for now.

Julie Eagles HAPPY NEW YEAR. bonjour. Looks like you had an awsome news years eve. Is it too late to come join you!! Your fellow tourers look like a blast. I especially found the guy in the pubs methods of drinking to be very informative - who would have thought 3 drinks, 6 straws no sharing. Im loving the photos. Say hi to Venice for me. xxoo

Marionne Dixon Hi guys - Happy New Year and what a way to start it. Nice, then Monte Carlo and the casino - WOW - the photos have been great. Enjoy each and every moment. Love Marionne and Pete xxxxx
