Final, final note, Mark GET YOUR HAIR CUT YOU LOSER! laterzzzzzzzzzz xxxxxxxx

Mark, I will be at the farm on Thursday, give me a ring there, or email me if you can not reach me. Kathie

Yo!!! We are not in Banff anymore, left a few days ago so the postcard is lying to you!! Hope u r all ok. Kathie, we will be coming to Quesnel on 23rd/24th/25th April, i will ring u tomorrow (Thur) for more info, speak to u then. Good to hear from Iain and Merv and Nev. We have been in Calgary, where me and Andy relived our childhood fascintaion with dinosaurs at, funnally enough, a dinosaur museum in Drumheller (In the badlands of Alberta). We are now in Edmonton and went to the worlds largest mall, with a rollacoaster, water park and moonwalking flamingo's to boot!!! Went for a walk into downtown today, and have just been chilling at a coffee house, (got a discount coz we r scrubber travellers). Mum, we had a birthday rap sort of worked out for u but because of creative differences me and Andy disbanded the project. Glad u like the old tatt aswell, i was fearful of the wrath of the mother, thats why i told dad first!!! Thanks Pops!! We will have photos on very soon people hopefully so the wait will finally be over, i hope u enjoy perusing them!!! Thanks for all the msgs again- hope all r well, love to all, will msg again v soon. Mark.

HI Hear that your enjoying the Parks. Expect to hear from you soon. I am working Wed, off Thurs, 1-9;30 Fri, 9;30-6 Sat and 11-5 Sun after that don't know yet.

Have some ideas of some places you may wish to see. Kathie

Hi Andy,

New Zealand calling - Last time we met you was 1989 in Manchester when you were such a wee boy!
Enjoy your trip. Your dad said you were stopping in Fiji briefly before you get here. If you can, try and get off the mainland and get to one of the Islands. New Zealand will be a real treat!!!!!
Keep in touch with arrival dates etc
Don

Hey Chuck! How you doing? Sorry it's been so long since we were in touch but you know we are such busy girls! Hows the trip going? Sure you've been seeing all sorts of werid and wonderful things on your travels, get some photo's on this thing so we can see all the activities! Chris was telling us about the tatoo, can't wait to see it. Really missed you up in the B Unit for Robs 21st, you would have loved it and in true logan fashion i (Laura) got absolutly off my face! (Chris and lew have very funny proof) But wasn't the same without you there swinging us round the dance floor. We are all just back after easter and soaking up the last few weeks of uni life! All went to the first promo in the new union on thurs, so that was a big one.And will be looking after that brother of yours when he arrives back with his broken foot and moon boot plaster!
What are your plans at the mo, when do you move on to other countries? We want progress reports on the misson Andy! Well will leave you to get back to living it up out there. Lots of love the Logans.xxxxxxx p.s Man U beat Newcastle 4-1 today so just got to beat the arsenal scum in the FA final! xx

Canadia, Eh?! I'm currently on the verge of a boredom-induced coma, perma-temping, livin' the dream, and finding this has made my day! Having said that, I can't say that I'm happy for you. I'm far too jealous for all that sentimental stuff. Awesome to see/hear about the old hang-outs again - I've got a photo of me on stage with a guitar in exactly the same position in the Bar in Banff....the pupil becomes the master eh?! Amazed to say I met the same boat-dude in Tofino as well, although he was already drunk at 10am when I went and crashed in to the beach. Anyhoo, I promise t'email s oon where I can swear a bit more and get all nostalgic. Give Iron Maiden a slap on the ass for me. And mind them beaver. AJ x

Hi there Andy,

Stayed at your Ma and Pa's on Saturday night. A very quiet, boring night as it usually is in their company. Well I say quiet, your brother was holding forth for the first 1.5 hours and it was quite nice to see him once I had got used to the fact that he wasn't really using a megaphone. Such a shy and retiring boy. I wonder if you can get fractures of the tongue? Saw his girlfriend Laura, I did ask her if she couldn't have done better in the boyfriend stakes.

Anyway I digress. Your Ma & Pa invited the Bryces round so it was a brilliant evening, Kath was on good form too. As you are aware your parents are learning to dance (well you know lets humour them) they gave us a demonstration, they said it was the Mumba (a mumsy version of the Rumba I think). No they weren't too bad.
Couldn't believe that Jenny Bryce is driving seems only yesterday she was 12!

Anyway I believe you are having a really fantastic time the both of you. Suzanne says to tell you that Los Angeles is a bit on the seedy side but not to be missed.

I am very jealous. Phil and I are looking to go to South America (maybe for our Silver Wedding) if I can summon up the stamina.

Looking forward to seeing some photos

Matt sends his best to you both. Think he is mega jealous.

Sarah

are we there yet ?????????? hope your enjoying bognor regis - can we have our sheep back or did you eat it - e-mail when you get a minute

Hello Mark & Andy, Sounds like you are still having fun, which you should be and make the most of it! Well I have had a wonderful birthday weekend, lots of lovely cards and pressies, money, balloons, cakes, etc. etc. I have definitely been spoilt and have to say I am shattered, nothing to do with reaching the big 50, of course,but it has been a blur!!! Yes went out with Mazza and the girls on Wedneday night, and of course all the rest of them didn't have work, these part timers and people who don't work!!!! I had 6 bouquets of flowers, some from work, your dad and Stephanie, and Dorothy's sister Margaret, as they just called round for a drink. Had a lovely meal at Chesters last night, and did miss you not being there Mark, but I do understand. I think everyone enjoyed themselves, Paul & Eve came back for a drink and left at 1.45 am so I am sure they will be tired today! Well I am off to Sweden tomorrow and will be back home Thursday evening, but will most likely text you during the week. Claire has finished her dissertation and printed it off today, so sigh of relief from Clairey Mary!!!! So are you off to Calgary and then onto Quesnel? I will send you one of the T shirts Dad had made for my birthday! Going to sort my things out now and Claire and Stephen are off back to Preston very soon. Love you lots and lots Mum XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
