Hi to you both,

The pictures you have posted on the web speak for themselves, what a fantastic trip so far! Not so keen on the snake around the neck! No doubt you will both be looking forward to some luxury in the next leg of the trip. All the best, waggy.

Hi Sharlene and Emmett - sorry we haven't posted a message for a while! Been v busy with birthdays (Lauren, Tom and Jane in swift succession - and it's me next Sunday), uni interviews (Loz has offers from York and Royal Holloway, and still waiting to hear from UCL), end of term school stuff, decorating and work :( Enjoyed looking at your photos - excellent stuff, particularly Brazil. We actually had two nice days in Worthing this weekend, so maybe Spring is here!
Enjoy the rest of your trip - and happy belated birthday Emmett. Everyone sends their love - take care and see you soon

LOVE AND BEST WISHES PAUL AND FAITH

Happy birthday Emmett, hope you're still partying, it's 6.20 am in Brazil now ;-)

You didn't think I forgot did you ... Happy Birthday Em. Have a good one.

how'ist, I kow its been along time since I last mailed you guys, but its been really hectic back here. i've been to interviews open days for uni. i managed to get conditional offers at the three uni's i applied to, and i have take sheffield hallam, as my first choice, with derby as my back up. we're also moving (finally getting away from the inlaws, thank f***) we should be in the house by easter weekend all being well, so its all a bit mad, oh and i've tring to tie up all the lose ends with my college course, which has now finished. . Lj sends her love although she's rather stressed as well with her pgce, her 2nd school placement not going as well as the 1st, and she's got loads of assignments to do as well. anyway hope your both good happy birthday emmet take it easy
