Hello again. I'm not sure if you're home yet or if you are on your way. We leave tomorrow after a brilliant 3 weeks. Just in Koh samui at the moment which is so beautiful. I thought it would be a bit like Torremolinos but it's really peaceful with amazing bars and restauants. INfact managed to fall asleep in the restuarant last night as we sitting on those low Thia cushoins and tables and the waves were lapping, Cafe Del Mar was laying and the Singha Beer was hitting the spot. The next thing I knew MIke was waking me up!! Hey Hum that"s what holidays are for. Must go and need to book into the Spa for the afternoon

Anyway Dudes, see you back in Leeds in a few days. SO much to catch up on.
Lot of love
FI and Mike

Lots of Love

Well Mr & Mrs Bowman, time has flown by and hopefully it won't be too long until we see you both. It has been really good reading everyone else's messages and keeping up to date with where you are and what you have been doing. Spoke to Pete last Sunday and he told me you would be back this coming weekend so expect a phonecall at sometime! Things are pretty much the same back here in the UK since you went, i.e. haven't heard from Tiday, been smoking again, still enjoy lime in my lager and LCFC are s***e! Anyway I'm sure once you are back at work you'll get back into the swing of things! Look forward to hearing from you both, take care during your last few days and have a safe journey home. Adios.

Well we are all looking forward to seeing you at the weekend, you have been missed very much by all of us. I only hope we all have such positive feelings towards you after listening to hours of 'travel tales'. Unlike dad who "endured" a week in Wales we all had a great time and the boys had a fantastic holiday. Not much else to say apart from have a safe journey home and prepare yourselves for more tears from mum. love you lots xxxxx

Hello you two maybe for the last message. Your Mum wants to know what you would like for Sunday lunch ! We have just endured a week of showers in Wales, no doubt having picked the wrong week to go there' Missed seeing Leics. win the twenty/20 cup last Sat but got home in time to see City on TV as they drew0-0 with Coventry' Only 1 win and 1 draw in the first 4 matches - not promotion material as yet !!! Counting off the days now and looking forward to hearing all about it. You will have to tell me all over again having no doubt related lots to the two Mums when they meet you from the airport.Good news about Ruth's car - it has passed the MOT having failed the first one on a couple of minor issues. Not much else to report at present so will look forward to Sunday next. Lots of love - Mum & Dad xxxxxxx

Hellloo Sir!
Glad to see you're having fun. Make the most of it before you have to come back to 'sunny' England!
It was results day today.... aaaaaaaaannnnnnddd - I got a C in history! I'm very chuffed, cos I honestly didn't think I would get that at all. And to say I hated European, I did better on it than the medieval module =S. No idea how THAT happened.
Anyway, Lauretta got a B =O She won't mind me saying that we don't know how THAt happened either, cos she left the exam almost an hour early! She's just a little brain box though. I'm afraid to say we are dropping History next year though, but don't take it personally, haha.
Anywho, enough with work talk.
Have fun!

Come in Chile, do you read..

If my navigational skills as a pilot serve me correctly your coordinates put you in Bognor Regis, uuuum Ill re-calculate! I know Ive been inundating you with messages but I didn't think you'd mind a little one. I'm glad to hear you made it out of Vietnam, I though Ed might still be wedged down one of those Vietcong tunnels. Yeh, yeh I know youve lost weight but youre still chubston to the boyz.
Pleased to see youve been earning a crust mining as well. Its about time you both did some honest work instead of finishing at 3.30pm or sending heart attack victims home with a Lemsip.
Alright, really Im dead jealous. Work aside, the best Ive managed is sitting on Bournemouth beach with heat rash. Cmon it wouldnt be the same if I didnt moan a bit.
Hope you enjoyed your 30th Ed. Is that Winnie the Pooh duvet cover from your mum and dad? I spent mine on a booze cruise with a hen party amongst others. Some how I ended up doing the rumba with the bride to bes mother! Theres no hope.
I saw Richs post about the bike race. Just to put the record straight, team Shaw turned up in a Winnebago with full support team and 6 spare bikes. I had an Asda puncture repair kit, no tent and half a banana. To top it off I was doing it on my old BMX! It was a great weekend though, I salute the lads.
Anyway, best be off as Im hosting a swingers party tonight. I given up on girlfriends, Im going to borrow someone elses insteadhaha. Enjoy the last part of your travels you lucky swines and take good care of each other. Looking forward to catching up with you both when you get back.

Love
Ewan

You ought to get a new lawnmower: that flymo of yours is pants. . .

Nice to see you've not lost your sense of humour, Ed with his big cactus and all that - reminded me of Blackpool mate although I seem to recall that was a giant blow up microphone! Things are good, weather has turned after such a great spell, playing plenty of golf and really can't wait to kick your ass (every time I walk past a bell, I have a wee chuckle!). Hope you are still enjoying yourselves and get the chance to take some time out for a bit of luxurious living before you come back. Don't get me wrong, the hiking gear suits you both but much prefer the personlised slippers etc! Have tried to phone Ed's mobile but can't seem to get through (must be ignoring me) but hope to speak soon. Take care and my lassies pass on their love and best wishes..

Hi both, nothing really to report just wanted to say hello. I'm realising just how long you've been away for now!! Happy birthday Ed and everyone who's hit 30- Can't wait for you to get back so we can catch up.....need someone to gossip with about how gordo's practically married ! love you both x x x x
