Hi Mum, good to hear from you. Hope Jellybean and Jim are on the mend. Exciting about Norfolk! The girls have been keeping in touch via messages. All good here in Rome. Had a peaceful night, although the bed is still rockin'!! Keep well! Xx

Hi All, Still looks a little chilly over where you are. Aino was over yesterday. She was sooo pleased you were keeping up your tradition by having some drinking photos. Keep enjoying yourselves and stay safe. Mumxxx

Mum, we are continuing to be our sensible and sober selves!!!! Actually we have had more coffee than usual, due to the weather! Looking glorious today .. Fine, clear skies and sunshine. Off to the ship soon! X

Amy, our humblest of apologies. Clearly we are keeping the Cootamundra trip for another very special tour later in the year. There is only soo much excitement we can take in one trip!! Hope all continues to go well for you. Sounds like you're having a great time and getting around lots!! Fabo! Keep safe.

Would have been disappointed if there hadn't been a Drinking photo. Love the canal photo. Hope the weather warms up for you. Mum xxxx

Oh dear.. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but your travel plan list doesnt seem quite right :s I can't see Cootamundra listed anywhere....

But photos with tea are not do interesting!!!! Xxx

Great to finally see a photo of Shannon all grown up.I see you still have a glass in your hands. Enjoy!!!!! Love Mum

Hi Deb and Bwian, glad you guys are having such a great time and are safe and sound!!! We checked out your video footage - THAT was too close for comfort...just goes to show, there must be plenty in store for you yet - your number just wasnt up! All is good here, weather is warming up - finally. I am on night shifts (yuk) but plan to get up in time to go to Jimmy's farewell on Friday afternoon looking forward to a Faith catch up!!! I really do miss my Faith family... We pick up our new puppy, William, on Tuesday - so that is the light at the end of my present tunnel... Enjoy, and we look forward to your safe return home.
Love the Guses xx

Mum, when I told our new friends about your comment about them being a good influence, they did laugh and guffaw with great gusto!!! Is that a suitable response?? I think that says it all!!! Xxx

No ..... Not a good influence!!! They too love their beers!!! We are going on an optional tour tonight in Cologne - a brewery tour or ..... pub crawl as the program director called it!! Should be interesting except in Cologne, they only use small cylindrical beer glasses that hold 200mls!! Apparently the barman keeps replacing your glass and marks notches in your coaster and you pay at the end according to your notches!!! Sounds interesting!!! We'll find out!!! Great to hear from you!!! Love you. Xxx
