Happy Birthday my friend, have a wonderful day in the sunshine. Do have a few "small sherries" to mark the occassion. Congratulations on the dive master qualifications, I do my final assessment next weekend to make me a fully qualified yoga instructor.

Miss you loads, keep sending the updates they really make me smile.

Have a great birthday and drinka few coctails from us to celebrate

WELL DONE!

Congrats on getting your DM.... now you have hit the heady hights of semi-pro diving ..... just not in the UK... you know it makes sense.

Sat typing this in Italy, been skiing again at the same resort -loads of snow on the day we arrived and then glorious sunshine since - so I now look like a Panda!

Hope you and Jon have fun in Belize... keep us up to date.

Oh, my last day at you know where is on the 31st. Caroline is putting together a wee A-list as she puts it. You are on it, but I guess you wont be able to make it.... ;-)

C U Soon!

Hiya!!

Hope the test went well!! I liked the sound of the instructors stripping off to distract you

I got your e-mail and that's no problem for me to do a bit of a shop and get your next lot of rations .......

I'm in Paris today and my flight home doesnt leave for another 5 hours - so I am bored!! Think I will treat myself to a spot of lunch and vin rouge!!

Take care

Jon xx

Hey Gils!

I am sure that your final tour will go swimmingly! It sounds as though you are having a great time and I think a career in teaching would suit you down to the ground! Penelope is still behaving herself. I gave her a good clean last weekend and my brother cleaned her a few weeks ago, so she is feeling well cared for. Jonathan is really looking forward to seeing you and Bristol is looking forward to welcoming you home!

Look after yourself. With love, Steve. xx

thanks for the flowers. They arrived this morning. saturday. We are watching the rugby wales beat Ireland. Scotland England still playing

Hey!

Well the weather is wet and miserable here. All very busy here getting ready to go live. Great to hear that your DM is going well - I am so so jealous. Hope you and Jon have fun - I am sure the easter bunny will send a message.

Sounds like you are still having a ball. Dont get to enthusiastic about teaching I'll soon put you off unless you stay in sunny climes. Uncle george is driving again. They're coming for dinner so he will do the taxi run and your dad can hit he port. Take care big hugs

Hi Gils

Photos look amazing! The sunset one is gorgeous and I can't help but stare at it on this grey Feb morning.

Molly got your text, she had a great 1st birthday. Very spoilt indeed. They say the child probably won't be aware it's their birthday but Molly certainly did. In fact the day after, she was wondering why there were no candles to blow out over tea.

Have a super duper time not that I need to tell you that.

Lots of love Kim and Molly xx

Hello!!

I've finally managed to read your last 2 blogs properly and I see you are still having an amazing time!! Strong winds and big swells eh?? That sounds like the 30 stone Programme Manager here at Orange - except it's strong winds and big smells every time he goes to the toilet!!

No major dramas so far this week. I had boiling water thrown round me in a meeting last Friday by one of my team (she claimed it was an accident), so with that and her falling down the stairs I am beginning to think I am working with Calamity Jane!!

It was Molly's 1st Birthday yesterday, so much fizz, giggles and fun was to be had at Casa Oakes last night. She is getting really big and almost walking!!

As for your car Penelope, well as Steve says she is definitely enjoying the warmer southern climate (minus 3 degrees this morning). You will be pleased to hear that I am continuing your tradition of driving topless down the road in winter ....

Think you are going to call me later or Thurs - looking forward to catching up!!

Bye for now and big hugs

Jon xx
