Hello Son,
Glad to hear you survived the Bear walk (I'm assuming that it was a walk in Bear country as opposed to you and Mark strutting your stuff in the nude, don't think Canada's ready for that yet love...). Been having a good laugh at the messages friends and family have left, this is such a great website. Thanks for ringing on Mother's Day, your baby Bro did you proud by getting a lovely "across the miles card" on your behalf... (I think he has added the cost to your tab...). The driveway and path is finished, we are very pleased with it. Hughie Boy and me went to Bolly comedy club last week, was OK, but not as good as usual. It's Macclesfield Historical Society for us this Friday...boy, do we know how to live!!!. Going to go round some garages with Chris at the weekend he is thinking of buying a car...
Sounds like you have an exciting week aheads of you, I have always wanted to go whale watching, you are so lucky. I'm so proud of you both for doing this trip. Have fun, but most importantly, take care.

I love you loads and loads and loads and.... (reach for the tissues...)

Everyone at work sends their love. Auntie Doreen and Auntie Jennifer have been asking about you.

Lots of love.

Hello to you both, hope everything is good out there, sun, snow, sea etc etc will keep in touch and you better keep those beards trimmed! X

Hello!!! Hope everybody is ok back home in the UK! It's about 10.00am over here at the moment and we have just booked a Hostel for our second weeks adventures in a place called Tofino which apparently is meant to be unreal (whale spotting, beautiful views, etc). Last night we had a real Canadian experience by going to a Ice Hockey game to watch the Vancouver Giants which was awesome (although the game ended at 1-1 after over time!). The day before we went to a place called Lynn Canyon which is everything you image Canada to be (big trees, bear walking country, etc) and we ended up walking around 10k which was cool! Anyway i'm gonna wrap it up now as my time is nearly running out on the internet! We will be putting on photos from these first couple of weeks or so in the next few days, so keep on checking the website for these!

Take care, Andy and Mark xxx.

Hello Mark, Hope you are having a good time, whats the programme for today ! your dad has shown me the web site and I will look at it each time I come round to visit so I can keep up with you trip. Whats the weather like, sunny I hope. It is very cold here today, +2oC brrrr ! Your mum wishes she had bought a fur coat in Bangkok as it is so cold here. I have just used the kiosk in the post office to take pictures for my disable parking card, but when the pictures came out, on all four of them I had my eyes shut, still they will do.

Look after yourself and enjoy your your trip, lots of love grandad xxxxxxxxxx

Hello Y'all!!!! Me and Andy have just had some free breakfast at the hostel, well Andy had two lots! We are going to bike round Stanley Park today coz the weather is a lot nicer thank the lord!! We went to Lighthouse Park yesterday which was quality, climbing round the rocks and chillin in the bit of sun we had, oh and acting like 10 year olds aswell!!! Hope you are all ok big love to everyone mum, dad, claire, tracy, lucy, mccurrie and megarrell families, mark xxxx

Howdey! Just a quick note to thank everyone for all the messages thus far, we both really appreciate them and have had a good laugh reading them! In regards to "the mission" I've not really had a chance yet, although I did get to sit next to a fit Swedish bird on the plane and was tempted to ask her about joining the "Mile Hile Club". Hope every1 is fine and dandy, big up the mccurrie and megarrell clans, the preston massive and anyone else connected with us both in some way!

Andy (aka Fatboy) xxx

Hiya chuck!
How you doing son? Hope your livin the dream out there in canada! Whats the crack, what have you been up to any success on the old mission yet? Can't believe it was a week ago that we shared our last nite out in the wonderland that is Preston and in true Andy Megarrell style it was a memorable one!
We are living the dissertation knightmare at the mo 16 days left and counting! We still managed however to find the time to go out and get wasted last night hitting the hot spot of Tokyo Joes! Well its gotta be done!
So what are the plans for you two dossers, are you heading to the US of A anytime soon? Will have to keep us posted on your whereabouts.
Miss you loads,"How dare you!" go off and leave us, take care now, bye bye!
"it'll be reet!"

Hello Son, lovely to hear your voice the other day, it really cheered me up. Hope the weather has improved and that you are getting out and about. How's the teaspoon/thimble collection coming along? I'll get your Dad to knock up a couple of shelves in your room for your collection...
