Hey Vic and Sig, sorry for the delays with my lack of contact but as per normal life has been a bit manic and the weeks seem to be flying by. Can't believe you've been gone for 2 months already, time flies and I'm sure I'm not having as much fun as you guys. Just been looking at the piccies, camper van looks brill think you should drive all the way home in it. However, not sure that it is a rival for the original lurve machine, bet you didn't have the same hill start experiences. U both look really well and you've got months yet to do tan building so am sure we won't recognise you on your return. Feel really jealous of you at the moment especially as I was in Brazil this time last year but love reading all your stories so keep them coming. Life for me is cool, went to Bath this weekend with Ged which was lovely. Weather was boiling and so have managed to burn my shoulders, also went to Longleat on Sun and through the Safari park which was very amusing and I got to feed the dear and see lots of giraffes - was in my element as you can imagine!! Going to Turkey on Sun for a week with Kel and Zana so really can't wait to get away. Will also get to see my lovely new niece again before I go so that's all good fun. Have spoken to all the gang here and there and everyone seems fine, Matt's still got issues with his arm but am keeping regular checks on him. Anyway better get some more work done but carry on having an amazing time and keep sending messages as it's good to hear from you. Missing you both lots lou xxxx AKA ur toe twin!!

Hi all,

Sorry I haven't had the chance to reply to you all individually. Thanks again for all the messages and emails. Keep it up! Its so nice to hear from you all. Yesterday we went to the Billabong Sanctuary in Townsville. It was fantastic. We spent the whole day there. We hand fed kangeroo's! and we held a koala, crocodile, python, a big bird (can't remember the name - think it was a kookerbura), a wombat, and a blue tongued lizard. Tried to sneek one home but no such luck. Hope you are all ok. Lots of love V & S xxxx

Hi Sig & Vic Just a quick note to thank you for the fathers day cards. The post card arrived today, Monday, unfortunately your plans went slightly wrong. Lucy arrived on Saturday as she was going out on the night and mother was working. I did manage a couple of beers but no Sam Cooke. I will e-mail the Rhinos result, quite spectacular according to Stan. He sends his regards by the way. Anyway thanks again for the thought and effort it was much appreciated. Take care, Mum & Dad Mac. PS Helen & Gav have given birth to twins, two girls (probably more to do with Helen than Gav) Mother will no doubt give you all the gory details. PPS The parcel arrived today, can I copy the DVD onto the hard drive and then make a copy?

Hello Again, It was great to hear you again on Sunday morning. Thanks for the card Victoria. It arrived today. Katie did you both proud. I got The Davinci Code. Good holiday reading. Thank you. Steaming hot here again today. Not complaining. Hope it stays good for the weekend with Neil's BBQ on Saturday & Mum's B'day on Sunday. Katie has been out in Duffa tonight....Got on fine. Her job seems to be going well too. Got Nan & gramps back on time. They were tired but had a good time. Printed off the new photo's to keep both sets of G'parents up to date with your travels. Will be in touch again soon Luv Mum & Dad xxxx

As i sit here in dreary Yorkshire listening to the rain teeming down outside my window, the only thing to cheer me up is the prospect of school tomorrow - surely you must be jealous of me!!!! Was out in Headingley last night and I thought of you guys. It's been boiling here we sat outside at the Oak. I'm going to Whitby next weekend with Nick cause Mum, James and Grandpa are going to be on holiday there. Anyway, looks as though you 2 are still having a fantastic time. Enjoy it and take care of yourselves. Much love, Hannah x

THERE'S SOME MORE PHOTO'S FOR YOU TO LOOK AT!!! GO TO THE PHOTO ALBUM IF YOU WANT TO SEE OUR BEAUTIFUL FACES!!! (STILL A BIT PASTY BUT HOPING TO TOP UP THE TAN). PLEASE EXCUSE MY HAIR, IT IS A LITTLE OUT OF CONTROL! X

Have been hearing all about your fantastic trip around the world, so I decided to catch up on what you were doing. Have to say I'm very envious. Wish I had of done something like that when I had the opportunity. Now it will just have to wait until the kids have finished uni in about 20 years time!! The most adventurous travelling I ver did was to spend a month inter railing around Europe - which I suppose15 years ago was quite adventurous!!! When i think about I'm surprised your great auntie Pauline let me go!!! well take acre in your travels and enjoy the rest of Australia and I look forward to seeing more of your trip.
Love Jeanette.

So nice to here from you. Katie - sounds like you had a great holiday. Did you get my email about America? Get planning little traveller! I judt rang you again and it was 8.30am in England???? I have a feeling you may have been going to work Katie, good luck if you were and if you were in bed....lazy devil!!! We've been walking today and we saw 2 koala's!!! it was great! We went on a 4 hour trek up to the fort (getting in some pratice for the inca's). Will try you again tomorrow, although you are picking up Nan and Granps will try and catch you. Nice to hear the Russian children are having a good time. Love you lots Tor & Sig xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hello Vic & Sig, Sorry mum & Katie missed your call (again). I went back to the school with Katie for the fete & sports day. Katie won a tin of soup & some tuna (Good whale bait). Hottest day of the year (around 28 degrees)& still warm this evening. The Russians are here again with little Elainor staying with Lesley. Went over to help out at her birthday party on Monday. She had a great time........showed them all how to play the chocolate game.....Didn't take them long to get the hang of it. They're not used to the luxury of Cadbury's! Dads been watching St Helens V Bronco's....Good game which finished 28-28. Not sure when Rhinos play next but will keep you posted. Nan & gramps back on Sunday, we pick them up from Luton @ mid day so again we'll be out if you try to call! Dad's been over to see Nan Hall tonight. She sends her love. She's been updated on your latest adventures to keep her mind off of being Kenny-less this week with Chris & Terry being in Lanzarotte. When we collected KT from Sheffield we managed to grab half an hour with little Matty Beavan. He was looking well & as you probably know is keenly charting your progress. He sends his luv. The injury is not quite so painful but he's waiting for news on surgery to get it sorted out properly. Will be in touch again soon. Take care. Watch out for snakes, crocs, spiders, wild dogs, beached whales etc. Luv Mum & dad xxxx
