Tommo & Emily Hi Becks, Hope you are well - are you in states now?! I assume with Mark? When are you back? Can't wait to catch up (as long as you dont go on about your tan for too long!) will you be back for Jazz weekend? See you soon, Lots of love Tommo & Emily x Beck: Hiya guys, nope I won't be back for the Jazz but I will be back for the blues so come to that festival instead! I should be back July 10th if all goes to plan! Mark did make it out here to the US but only after missing his flight!!!! I will tell you all on my return!

david Hey sweatie glad to read your still having fun in far away places and the pics are quite good also. I gather your out of touch for the next day or so but will soon emerge in good old California where ALL the girls are blond but the men millionaires ( unfortunately most of these are gay )so dont get too excited. Met lots of excited people here today all looking forward to seeing you soon and some have even started packing !!! so it wont be long now. Your going to have to come home soon or the wine you sent will have run out perhaps you could send more supplies from Napa Valley has you know I quite like the `Champagne ` from there so do not hesitate to send some home. Have fun. XXXX

Becky Yey! Everyone remembered me! So nice to get your messages, thank you. I am having a grand time but do get a bit lonely occasionaly especially on this east coast of Australia. I am really looking forward to seeing Mark on the 23rd May. I'm glad you all sound well and good, I can't wait to get back and catch up - I've learnt a great new game involving wine that we can do (it's all rather grown up not like our old ring of fire!!), so will arrange a meet up as soon as I return - July 10th I think.

Rich Hi Beck, Strange that Adam and i write on the same day after such a break but just goes to show we haven't forgotten you! It was good to see Mark at Tomo's wedding. We had a good catch up and a few drinks and as Adam mentioned he was missing you lots! We're looking forward to seeing you when you get back as there's lots to catch up on so rather than boring you on here i'll wait until your return and have a chat over a few drinks. Enjoy the rest of your adventure and see you soon. Love Rich, Claire and Theo (and the one on the way)

Adam & Soph It's the invisible friend here! Haven't forgotten you and have been catching up on the blog and pics recently after too long a gap! Hope you had a nice birthday - I'm sure it didn't feel the most special as people weren;t there to spoil you but I'm sure it will have been the most memorable in years to come. How long til the states? - or are you there now? I'm glad Soph (the reliable one) has been in touch so that you don;t feel totally unloved - we'll be glad to sit through thousands of pictures and drink some wine whe you get back. Hope you got the picture message I sent to your mobile - I'll write you a cheque for that when you get back! Anyway, we miss you and are looking forward to seeing you when you get back - enjoy your time with Mark and your mum - Mark was really excited and counting the days (won;t thank me for mentioning that in public) and I'm sure your mum must be dead excited too. Wish we were there - but Jackson would have struggled in Borneo so probably just a bit of NZ, Australia and LA would have done us!! Lots of love - A&Sxx

Helen Hiya!! Just had massive catch up session on your travels. Feel like just been round the world again and brought back so many memories!!! mostly of jealousy I add. Lokks like you having fantastic time and your blogs are brilliant still in so much detail your much more dedicated than I was. Plans here gong well, cant believe how fast time is flying however, only 15wk to go....... argh! Really looking forward to seeing you and catching up, you better not come back all tanned though as dont think I am gonna get chance to go anywhere hot before Aug unless we get an unlikely heat wave! Keep writing! Helen x

Trout Hey love hows it going? Pics look fab!! I've only gone an treated myself to a little holiday cos I need a break from work/men etc!! I'm going where the mojitos are served alllllllll day long!!! Mexico!!! Me and coo got a great deal so I fly out a week on Monday! Where are you off too next? When do you meet Marky? xxxxx

Mum Hi Becca, just viewed the Tasmania pictures, what an amazing place loved the Tasmanian Devils. What a wonderful forest hoping to see similar in Oregon/Washington. I think the waterfall is the most beutiful yet! Enjoy your trip to the red centre, keep the pictures coming loving them! Much love Mum xx

Trout Hey love!! Hows things? Did you get to go to the grand prix?!!! Such a busy week its been and its only Tuesday!!! Had another golf lesson tonight - god I am getting good!! I managed to wack it 100 yards!! Whoo hoo!!! Start playing netball for a Redditch team tomorrow - should be interesting!! Also got a busy weekend ahead with an invite to the annual accountants dinner and rugby Saturday!!xx

Tommo & Emily Hiya becks, look lke you had a great time in NZ, great place! I bet Oz seems a bit dear now you are there?! Hope its all going well, we all miss you. Wanted to ask you if you took Malaria tablets when you went to Chiang Mai? We are off there for part of our honeymoon and I am thinking for a 3 day trip there it will be better just to avoid getting bitten rather than taking tablets - what do you reckon? See you soon Love Tommo & Emily

David Hi Sweetie, glad your still having fun on your travels, hope all goes well in Oss. We all missed you on Sunday had to get mummy to go and order the food etc !! still the day went well for most of us until the Villa game kicked off. Best not to make much comment about that except to say it was a bit of a disasterous result. Have fun X

Mum Hi Bec, Thanks for the blogs on NZ made me really jealous would love to visit this wonderful country one day. The story of Sue is so inspiring for an oldie like me. I'm looking forward to my Mothering Sunday treat so expertly organised from afar! Don't worry about ringing me as it so expensive, text will do. Much love Mum x x x x x x

Trout Hello my sweet! How are you? Its been ages since we had a proper long chin wag!! Are you enjoying yourself? God things have been sooooo busy my end its been a nightmare!!! I really need a holiday but am sooooo skint!! I'm gonna have to start playing the lottery and keep my fingers crossed!! Not much been happening here. Marky cooked me dinner a few weeks ago and then stood me up for a boxing match last saturday tut tut!!! What you got planned next then? When are you going to Oz? Hugs and trout kisses xxxx

Chaz Yo bird, As a former member of Chaz n' Becks i feel it is my duty to tell you that you missed out Tekapo! How could you forget our romantic dip in the hot pools over looking the lakes and the memorable dog statue. Have massive post holiday blues at the mo. Decided to give up work and come play again. Hope your always nabbing the bottom bunk! Miss you, Cxxxx
