Hey missy, loving the pictures of Samui. It looks so nice! Wish i could've been there with you. You packed in alotr in the 2 days you were there. I like the pictures of you with the monkeys. What is going on with that croc biting off a man's head? lol. Wierd. For a cheap room, it doesnt look all that bad. Looks pretty comfy to me. Oh, and to pick up on what your grandma and grandad said, the thought of that Thai food is making my mouth water too. We definitely have to go back to that Kwan Thai restaurant when you het home (thats if you're not sick of Thai food by then). Miss you so so much, and love you loads xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Emm. The thought of the Thai food makes our mouths water . We enjoyed that very much. We chickened out on the Thai massages though. Could do with one at this minute . We have just about got over our short trip tot he Canaries. Love XXX

Hello emma,
have finally found the blog. I have to say i have never seen a blog before! I am really not down with the kids. Think i am typing on the right thing!
Anyways hope all is going well, am sure it is amazing! Am very jealous and feeling sad that i have only two days left of half term. Wish i could join you. I dont have any exciting news unfortunatley. Think Ian is gonna come up to sheffield soon and we might go to the football, will give us something to look forward to. Am thinking it might nearly be toast time. How i miss the old days! Haha. Sorry that i havent been in touch before now and so knackered all the time! Will make more of an effort not to be lazy. But just know that we all miss you mucho mas in the house and we will have to party when you get back!
P.s we got the postcard xxx

Hi Em, Hope you are well - certainly seem to be with all that you are packing in to your trip! Was looking at your photo "climbing mountains and little terrors" - didn't notice any "little terrors" - guess I was expecting picture of spiders/beetles or children? I've got flu, so guess I could have missed them. Glad to know you're still having a great time. You look a little burnt in the last photo? Take care, have fun. Lots of love Jewels xxx

Hi Emma, you really are great at keeping us up to date with your news. What a great time you seem to be having. Many thanks for the postcard. We have just got back from the Canaries where it was a lot warmer than here but certainly not as warm as Thailand. We left in snow and came back to snow! Your bike ride seemed ambitious especially in the heat. Keep sending the news. Lots of love Grandma and Grandad xxx

love you xxx

Hehe, its certainly been an eventful week. Ive gotta say, im so very very proud of you seeing you in the classroom teaching darlin You really look at home in the environment. The kids certainly look like a lively bunch and they're obviously keeping you on your toes You'll be needing a new memory card for that camera of yours before long. Really glad your taking so many pictures. Love and miss you loads xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Oh Emma it looks and sounds so amazing I am so jealous!! Will you come back with me next year?? Cool to see you teaching - looking smart!! All these moon parties sound fun - hope you haven't been mooning though! :P Keep having fun and keep us updated! loving you xxx

Hi Emms,

Some good pictures and some evidence that you are working!!!! We all wish we were there with you and having as much fun as you are. We celebrated the Chinese new year with a "takeaway", not the same as at your end though.Did you know the Bro Nathan has donated his first pint of blood to the Transfusion Service, we are proud of him. "Emmas Cupboard " is being refurbished as a dining room specialy so you can come to lunch when you get back. Keep the news coming. Lots of love. Nan and Grandad XXX

Hey huni,

r u enjoiying it?! i still cant believe your actually there, its amazing. we're all missing you but im so proud / jealous of ya! have a great time and enjoy every minute! speak soon xxxx

Hi Em - really enjoyed he photos and reading what you've been up to - I was beginning to wonder if you were actually going to do any teaching, but your photos proof that you've done some work - so well done you. Glad to know you're stil enjoying yourself too. Don't know if you are aware, but Britain came to a halt today because we've had more snow than in nearly 20 years! london buses not running - few trains due to snow on line - planes skidding at airports and M25 came to a halt too. By the way - did you also know that Jessica has "chicken POPS"! - Mind you don't pick those up from the kids you're teaching - they're not nice when they burst! Hope you don't get burnt again! Take care, lots of love, Jewels xx
