hi everyone, just quick to say were in Germany. Have spent 1 week in a farm house in France, very provincial and out in the sticks. Then 2 weeks in Italy, loved Venice and Sienna. Just came back from a weekend at Nenos. We saw Austraia and Czech Republic too. Sorry this is so short, im tired and need to get up early so i can post mum and dad back to you all. Love lots, more news soon, i promise, Em

Hi Norries,
We hope you are enjoying French ambience. Now you have chance to relax maybe one day you can find and negotiate a net cafe to update this site for us all hanging on for news.
All is well and ordinary for us at home.

Our bags are packed..... You probably don't even know that song I will sing it to you when we get there!!!
Nan will be here to collect us in 3 hours!! So guess that means we are on our way ,I have Matts iced coffee frozen in my bag!! And flippers for you, much too Dads disgust but it all fitted. We were under weight yesterday I wonder what the Air lines will read. See you on the 21st at the Harrington Hall Hotel . Sounds like wind in the willows! cioa baby xxx

Have fun in Devon hope there is sand for sand castles. Love Mum xx

GREETINGS and Belated Birthday Wishes! I sent you a (not singing!) HAPPY BIRTHDAY text message via Dee's phone but just missed you.....all the raucous farewelling! Dee's missing you already and the background noises when she calls from the flat just aren't the same! So glad you girls have this site! Ricky says "HELLO". Have fun in your new abode. bye, Wye. (Mrs.Pea!)

xxxooooxxxxooo

Happy Birthday,
We stayed up until midnight and sung Happy Birthday to you. The 21 years have gone so quickly, you have achieved so much in that Time. Dads are supposed to give a speach and say embarassing things that have happened over the last 21 years, I might have to remind you of them when we see you shortly. For those looking at the site I am sure that you can remember some.
We are so proud of the young woman that you have grown up to be and the determination that you show and the love you give.
See you soon,
Love Dad xxxxx

P.S. Your Modra Doll (complete with years of encrusted Emma Drool ) and your Snuggy are fine and safe but missing you.

Happy 21 st Darling, Have a Happy Day and year to follow.We don't even know where you are off to today only that it is on another adventure and you you will let us know when you get there.Thank goodness for modern communication! We have crows balloons blown up and the birthday sign on your photo board (just thought you would like to know)! Happy Birthday Darling Love You Mum xxxxx

Hi all Emma phoned this am , she is in Pamplona but has not seen a bull yet. She is cleaning houses for free board about 12 hrs a day. They were hoping to go to a bul fight tonight. She has free bed food and beer where she is so no Aussie dollars being spent!Cheers Wendy
