Hi Charlotte and Becky,

Lovely to hear from you. Glad that you had chance to update your blog. We will all certainly miss reading about your travels which have been really wonderful to read. To bring some Pacific sunshine back would be amazing especially as the forecast is for snow!

You will be swopping your bikinis and snorkels for thick woollies and sledges!!

Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday.

Lots of love

Mum and Dadxxx

Hello Charlotte and Becky,

Well,we've been back home a week now and the weather has been awful - really wet, windy and in some places, snowy! James and Charlie had quite a lot of snow out in the Forest and Scotland have had their best snowfall in about seven years.

We had a wonderful time in Australia and meeting up with you Charlotte was lovely. But only less than 4 weeks now and you'll be home. Sorry to remind you.

It was very difficult going back to work and Dad has taken Rich back to uni -we should have stayed and joined you backpacking!!

Enjoy the last of your travels and look forward to seeing you both at Heathrow!!

Lots of love

Mum, Dad and Rich.

Hi Charlotte and Becky,

Only four sleeps now - getting so excited. Haven't quite packed yet!

Dad is collecting Rich from uni tomorrow and then James and Charlie are cooking a meal for everyone.

Will probably have lots of washing from Rich to do before he packs his case.

Can't wait to see you now.

Hope you have a lovely Christmas, Becky and a Happy New Year. I'm sure you two will miss one another!

See you on Monday flow.

Lots of love

Mum, Dad, Rich and Maggie.

Hiya,

Well that brings back many pleasant memories. Loved your skydiving pictures. You looked so relaxed!

I hope you are going to the Cook Islands soon. That is my most favourite place on earth. You must hire a motorbike to explore it properly.

I hear you are comming to work with us next year. Brilliant! Sae up and do it aa again.

Lots of love

Hi both,

Brilliant photos throughout. Makes us a little bit jealoous. Thanks for the card, it was such a nice surprise.

Hope to meet up in the new year, when you can fill us in on what has obviously been a wonderful experience.

Love Aunty Jen & Uncle Duff

Hi to you both! What a brilliant set of photos from New Zealand, from one extreme to another! Well done on sky dive, you looked like you were smiling or was it because of the force of the wind!! Certainly looks a bit cooler there compared to Oz but at least Charlotte will be going back there soon to top up her tan! Enjoy yourselves..what is your next daredevil feat going to be, take care! x
