Hi Mrs! Finally managed to catch up on all of your photos - they are fabulous!! You are so so so lucky! You are fairly getting around in that monster truck - bit of a far cry from your lovely Clio. Not much new here in boring old Brizzle. We have a boozy Thurs lined up for the 1st April (April Fools) to mark Keith and My Leaving/ Joining events in work - will take my phone and send you paparazzi photos! Nina has turned veggie for lent and wee Sue nearly had a canary as she had to order extra Veggie butties for the next team meeting as a result! (you can tell things are really exciting around here)

Anyway - must dash. Keep us all posted on your events you lucky thing and will catch up with you soon. Take care. Jon xx

wishing you a very happy birthday when it comes.Scenery looks fab.Looking forward to following the rest of your trip.Going to visit Clare.Glad to hear that guides,scouts and Brandedlees were good training grounds.Lots of love.

Wow, it all looks and sounds fantastic. I hope you're having a ball. Great to be able to follow your adventures. I'm very bored and frustrated at home at the mo, broke my arm 1 hour in to ski holiday 3 weeks ago! Got huge cast that goes above my elbow and i can't do anything. Not mending as it should and i need surgery but they want to wait another 3 weeks until it is fully mended before they rebreak and reposition it. Seems a bit cruel to me but i have to just sit and wait and face another 9 weeks in plaster, arrgh!!!
Take care love, lots of love Debs xxx

Hi Gill,
Have just come home from one of those days at the office and seeing your photos has given me the boost has restored my faith in the fun side of life. Why oh why did I purchase a house instead of coming travelling with you? Looks like you're having a fab time and certainly packing loads into the trip. Looking forward to following the rest of your adventures. Will drop you a mail soon. Take it easy love from Clare

Hello matey, you certainly look like you are having a great time, the photos look amazing.
This is just to let you know that there is a parcel on its way to you so please go and check when you are in Chile, (no rubber ring included!). Take care love Nina xx

Hi Gils, saw the topless footie Carling ad yesterday. I didn't spot your Dad though.
Richard is back looking very brown and healthy. Did you get a poncho for your 6 hour trek? Kim x

Best of luck Gillian on your trip. We will folow your progress on the web site.

Lots of lovelly messages. Very nice to be able to read then when hotmail is down, which seems to happen a lot.

Just off to have a caipereanha before bed.

Second try. You look as if you are having a ball in the photos. Enjoy the experience. Hope the numb bum gets better.

Hi, pics look fab and it looks like a good bunch you've met. Have a great time. Lots of love Allison xx
