Hi Andy and Nikki,

Hope you had a fantastic Christmas. I'm sue it was amazingly different to any other Christmas you've had before.

Grandma was delighted with the photo. She hasn't quite got the hang of how I got it but was really pleased with it. I put the one of you and Phil standing in the frame and gave her a copy of the other one.

I showed her your latest photos. She likes to keep up to date with where you are.

Hope you are both well. You do look very fit.Take care.

Love,

Brenda and Grandma xx

HI you twoit good to know you arrived safely. It was such a shame about the Train not running. I have been going through your photos and they are so wonderful it must be fascinating seeing all the fish and mammals that live in the ocean and around the reef. The colours of the fish and the coral are amazing. I feel a trip to sea world coming on ha ha. I was so envious of you both seeing the night sky at ayers rock as I think everyone would like to see the stars. Did you take any photos off the rock. You are certainly seeing loads of places I need to get a book on AUSTRALIA to keep up. I think you will be in ADELAIDE by the time you read this. SORRY you will be in Melbourne, keep up mother. YES it is only 24 days till CHRISTMAS . Have you any plans for CHRISTMAS DAY.You can let us know later. We are glad to see you are both looking well, your photos are lovely. Well I am sure you have heard about all the SNOWit is going to last for a while they say. I am going now as it is getting late .It was nice to hear from you both. Lot of love.XXXXXXX

Dear Nikki and Andy

Me and Dad have just read your blog on Singapore. It sounds like a really great place to see. It is good you both like theme park rides as I would not get in any cable car that takes you over the sea or up high. I would not see much, only from ground level or looking up ha ha. Did you take any photos of the orchids I bet they were lovely. We are looking forward to seeing your next set of pictures. Has Andy had any more tattoos done yet you should take a photo of the one he had done so we can see it. How are you finding OZ we hope it is as friendly as the places you have left behind. The diving is meant to be great so is the weather hope its not to hot for you both. Don't forget your sun cream and hat and a bottle of water, sorry Mums eh. Anyway take care of yourselves and stay healthy and enjoy what OZ has in store for you both.

Lots of Love XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Dear Nikki & Andy

We have just been looking at your new photos, they are very good. the cat looks strange but really funny. the mouse deer are so cute. Kuala Lumpu is very cosmopolitan, the shopping mall looks huge as do all the new buildings it must look fantastic at night. You two will have so many memories to look back on when your are older. Did you go inside the caves at the shrine. what are they like inside. Did they let you take photos inside the temples? the photo of you outside the caves was lovely Nikk, i Andy looked very happy with his huge selection of food and cup cakes look good no matter where you are, all washed down with a nice cup of tea, yea.

Lots of love xxxxxx.
