Hi to all Well today may be the saddest day of our trip as we say good bye to our beloved Ramjet. It turns out that when you live in a car for 5 weeks you become strangely attached to it and m…

Sue Hey Guys, What're you up to? When are you on the move again? We had a good weekend in London...I took Pete to The Globe for a cultural afternoon...spent Sunday at Notting Hill but no sign of Hugh Grant!

David Emily... don't worry I've been away and am now back safely. Glad your final weeks are going so well. I'm sure the moment you get home you'll be wanting to go off again. Good work on the long walks although I'm sorry to hear about the bending problems. I can see how that could cause a problem!! You should def get a tatoo after the next adrenalin rushed moment. If you get a picture of me from facebook you could ask if they could tatoo my face for you. todays maths trivia 1+1. If you get this note my maths is improving! Catch up soon!! x

Dad Hi Em Lovely to hear you are still having such a great time! Unfortunately I have read about the Hang Gliding before you have done it, so I have immediately upped my medication! A text on landing would be appreciated. If you decide to take up John's request, negotiate hard on the fee!!!! Lots of love Dad xxx

Sue Andrews ...by the way, what's wrong with Bill Grainger? he's really good (I didoriginally think he was gay, but he often has his kids on TV so I guess not!) Sue x x

Sue Andrews Hi Ems, Hope you're enjoying NZ although I'm told it's cold there at this time of year. Not much happening here although I'm counting down the lessons now to the end of term. Just 4 sleeps and it will be six weeks off..... Tim and Katie seem to be enjoying their time in US - keep up to date on Facebook. Take Care, Sue x

Jen Hey! Sorry I've not ben in touch for a while, was waiting to hear from you at work! How is everything? How's NZ? Have you been to any Lord of the Rings places yet? Make sure you go to see something at a local cinema....when we went it was just loads of mismatched old sofas in big room, with beer and ice cream! We've get the kitten now. We settled on Rudy. He's very very cute but has soooooooo much energy. Lucky it comes in 20 minute bursts and then he sleeps again. He sleeps for about 18 hours a day. That's the life! Where's next? When are you back? Love Jen x
