Hiya Steven. Seems like u r really settled over there which is great. Sorry to hear about ur stomache probs. Did u loose any weight? Hope all is well. Tara just bought a wireless internet router, so when u come back, u will b able to use the internet on ur laptop anywhere in the house, and as many computers as we want can use it, which is great for me, as being at uni, I couldn't stand having to fight over who can use it! lol. Everyone here is fine. I'm sure mum already told you, but she passed her level 1 bsl and has started level 2. She's doing well as usually she gives up everything after a few weeks. Hope she keeps it up. Rosie n Bianc r getting on well at secondary. Joseph's made some friends from around our area, which is good for him as he only used to have friends at school. And Eevie is still trying to rip the postman's fingers off every day, which is not so good! Anyway, have a nice day n i'll post regular messages to keep u up to date with this family, as u know what mum is like! Take care! :-)

Hey there boy! Well it sure does look like u are having the time of ur life over in Guyana! A massive difference to ur old student lifestyle in Sheffield. We are definitely gonna miss ur presence along with the others in ur house helpin us survive uni life here!! Hope u are well and keepin them cute lil woosie kids happy! Take care honey x

i steve, i hope you are enjoying my lovely native land. yes that right , i am a guyananese currently living in new york city. i am originally from essequibo coast bushlot village. as an guyanaese, i am very happy to know that some one have visit the place that have shaped the early stages of my life. moreover, teaches me the true value of life.anyway i hope you enjoy the remaining time of your visit and please email me back so i can acknowledge you have recieve my email.

Hey Everyone!!

Hope u all are well and i am fine, just recovered from bad diahoerra that i had with me for a week and half!! very bad and annoying!! it is not helping me at all when i had to travel to places far away!! (part of the job) but now i am back to 100% fit after drinking lots and lots of rehydrated salts.

I am sorry for not able to putting the message on the board since 2nd Sept!! but i wanna to say thanks for people who have put the message up the board to give me some news and i did enjoy reading the message from all of ya! :D but here it is!! :D

I have been updating all the pictures and just done the postcards, so hope u enjoy the views of the pictures and reading the postcards. I also redecorated the website to make it look better!! :D as it was bit dull and boring! lol

Anyways I am enjoying myself here and getting on with the work really well. Been visiting to lots of different places, tmw is the last visit before finalising my plans to submit it to CBR bosses to review what i will be aiming to achieve. Then i will do the work for 10 months roughly with some holidays in between! :D

Of course i am missing u all in England and miss the regular lifestyle and miss Sheffield (Jessica, thanks for the message, Enjoy the uni year and make most of it!) and miss family!! missing everything of course!! :( but here does make amends for it cos here are similar to england lifestyle so it reduce the heartache greatly for me and Ashton!! :D

I am looking forward to this weekend for my and Ashton Birthday Party!! (mine is on 4th Oct, Ashton on 30th Sept!) so having joint party at my house and everyone (hopefully) will be coming to celebrate our birthday! :) btw yes i still havent touch a drop of booze since come here. so this wkd is real test as lots of ppl have been pestering me to drink some!! wait and see! :D

Gotta to go and do keep posting message as it was great to hear from u all and i know there are some out there who are too lazy to put message up!! please do! :D

Missing u all

Hey Stevo, sounds as if you are having the time of your life out there in Guyana!! Us Far East girls got back two days ago, having been gone three months, already raring to start another travelling adventure. Am envious of you, being out there for a whole year! Going back to Sheffield on Sunday to start uni once again, it sure isn't going to be the same without you, Tom, Jonny, Stu, Tom H etc in Sheffield. Becks and I will have to put up with Embles and Ant alone!! ;-)

Take care, Jessica x

Heya Steven. All is well down here in london. Riosie and Bianca are doing really well at secondary school, both really enjoying it. Tara and Rosie have just gone camping for the weekend, so Bianca is really happy to have mum all to herself, lol! Hope all is very well where u r. I am getting ready to start university on the 28th of september, so hopefully I will make new friends and get a life! haha. Am at dad's house at the moment, they are all doing really good as well. It was Tara's birthday today and mum forgot to even get her a card (oops!) but She ended up getting 200 quid, so i think she was happy in the end. I don't see them very often, but might be going down to kent tomorrow, which will be the first time i've seen any of them for nearly two years!! Anyway, will write to you again soon, take care, and buy some mosquito repellant, as looking at all them bites nearly made me get sick!

Hey there Steven! Good job on the website! You seem to be doing really well in Guyana so far! :o) Things are pretty much the same here, starting uni in a couple of weeks - actually finding myself looking forward to getting back into it!
What's all this about giving up booze for a year!? I can see it being done in everyday life etc but how the hell are you going to go through the festive period without a tipple!? Good luck in that :oP
Your house seems quite comfortable - easily live in there for a year, I'm sure, despite the dated decor! Maybe I can send the House Invaders team around! :oP
Keep up the good work!
Take care,
Robert x

Hey! Great website, doesn't make you feel so far away! Looks like you and Ashton are comfortable, and you're both lucky to have a nice house!
Plenty of pictures - great to see them all! I'm pondering whether I'm brave enough to do something with the VSO, but knowing me, it's all talk and no action!
I think it's great what you're guys are doing out there! (You know that letter i sent you? It got returned back to me as there wasnt enough postage! I'm going to bin it, it'll be out of date now!)
I can't believe you're not going to have booze for a year - it won't last! ONe day you'll be so thirsty, you'll be gagging for a cold pint! *tempted already!?*
Hope you're not getting too many mozzie bites!

Nothing new here down this end except some people are recovering from 3 day drinking bendes after England winnning the ashes! Flintoff was photographed in todays Metro looking weary!

Back to work for my in this stuffy little office in Clerkenwell whislt you're lapping up the gorge weather in Guyana!
Love and take care!

Heya Stevo, Great to hear that you're settling down really well over there! Gives me hope for my forthcoming world travels! Not sure if we can stretch to guyana as we will be tackling south america from end of july/beg of aug! But nevertheless you're welcome to join us to tackle Brazil, Peru and Argetina. By then it will be a year and you can drink once more! With a Guinness, tat is! Do keep posting news on the message board and more importantly take care! Till then mate, Tommy xXx

Stevo, Pleased to hear that all is well in Guyana, and that you guys are having fun. Not sure if you will be able to get rid of your beer belly, but here, im hoping for you. But giving up booze is bit too extreme, not sure if u can last a year...
Not much news here, apart from England winning the Ashes series 2-1 for the first time in 16 years, the series has been unbelievable, already tout as the greatest series ever! So, its all good on cricket side...
Better go, keep posting news
Nick (welsh guy)
