NANNA MAY - "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR NANNA! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!

21 AGAIN!!! We hope you have a great birthday and glad you got the present and card. Your advice regarding trumps in a wetsuit came a little too late I am afraid. I found out the hard way the problems that occur when you little rip in a tight wet suit. Anyway, enough talk of pumps. I hope you and Granps have now recovered from your holiday. We are still in Koh Tao but leave tomorrow for Phuket. We don't really want to go as it is so nice here but have been putting it off for a few days and I think its now time we move on. Take care and lots of love to you. Victoria and Simon xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Louise, Brett (the little nippers) and Amanda: Howdy! thanks for the message, are plans are still easy for Auz. we fly into Cairns on the 10th June DEFO and we fly out of Melbourne on the 15th AUG DEFO. So Amanda if you are wanting to take some time off the week before we leave would be excellent. We hope to get to Melbourne around the start of Aug but will definatly let you know more before then. also before we get to you guys we hope to pop over to see Ellen and the gang - so if your reading this 'i hope its ok :)' Thanks can't wait to see you Si and Vee xx

Hello campers,
Thanks for the card & prezzy. I shall enjoy playing my CD of the war year anthems. You will hear me singing to it all the way across the seas. My favourite is Slim shady sings white cliffs of Skeggy....Not really. It's 'Don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me, no, no, no anyone else but me la la la la la la. Before I go, an important bit of advice to help with your diving certificate....Don't trump in a zipped up diving suit. The hot air generated will not be able to escape & you'll shoot to the surface & bob around like a cork, leaving you an easy target for sharks. Love & Kisses Nanna & Gramps x x

Hi guys
Hope the diving is going well and you havn't had too many shark experiences! I know this was one of your
recurring dreams Simon. Do let me know if you want me to send the inca trail book off to Louise. We leave
for Spain on 12th May, only 5 days to go, can't wait! Dad at Lucy's today decorating the hall. She wants to
paint it whilst we are away. She has been told they are closing the Leeds office so she has to find a new job.
I'm sure she will find something, but nevertheless a bit worrying now she has a mortgage to pay.
Dad is going to try and send you another report on the rugby Si, Leeds Rhinos hammered the opposition, some
foreign team I think! I don't know why our e mails arn't getting through mto you.
Hello to all my family in Aussie its lovely to see so may people sending messages.
Love to all

Hello travellers,
It was great to receive your letter today Victoria. We miss you too but it's great consolation to see & hear that you are both having such a fantastic time. Make sure you keep a journal of everything. If it's anything like the message board & postcard sections you could have a best seller on your hands! Just winding down for the weekend & reading the Mercury. City have announced swingeing cuts in the playing staff, getting rid of Walker, Nalis, Gillespie & lots more to chop the wage bill. Last game on Sunday, Away to Plymouth. What do they say....Things can only get better...Hope so. Katie's performance went very well the other night. She was relieved & delighted with the way it turned out. No doubt she will tell you the full story when she can get to a pc. Nanna Maisey will be over at the weekend so brace yourself for another windy spell. Hope to book a break for ourselves if we can get flights sorted out tonight. Trying to get to Seville. Will let you know how we get on. Hope the diving course went well & you're both certifified now. Loved the crab / wild dog stories. Keep em coming. Love Mum & Dad xxxx
