Mum The roast will be all ready for you when you get home I promise. Must be lovely to be spending time with Laille as I know you have really missed her since she has been living in London. You will feel sad to leave her again xx

Mum It must be lovely for Paul to be catching up with all his relations. it sounds as though you are certainly be well looked after and the food sounds absolutely delicious....yum yum!

Mum Oh that is such a shame you have the flu again. Hope you are better real soon xx p.s the food sounds yummy!!

Mum Gosh you sure will be counting down the days now until the end of your tour. I guess it will be a funny feeling when the tour does come to an end but it is good for all of us at home as we can't wait to see you both again real soon. I made yummy fettuccine chicken for the first time the other night and I am sure you would both love it too....usually I would have picked up the phone and had you over for tea and made it again for both of you to try, never mind it will be top of my list after the roast chicken I have promised you when you get home, love and lotsa hugs xx

Mum It must have been very difficult saying goodbye to everyone, obviously you all got on so well and grew close very quickly. We have all been missing you here at home. It is starting to feel as though you have been away for ages and I am soooo looking forward to having you home again soon. Love you lots and lots xx

Mum I bet it is great to have a quiet time after being so busy xx

Mum Miss you xx

Mum The concentration camp must have been really interesting even though it was incredibly sad. That is definitely somewhere I would like to visit one day (strangely) I just want to see it for myself, unimaginable dreadful times, so so sad!

Mum Wow so many places. It is great you are doing this blog because otherwise I am sure when you get home it will be very hard to remember all these things, love you xx

Mum It all sounds so incredibly interesting

Nanna and Poppa So glad the trip is going well. You visited the same Concentration Camp (Dachau) as I did in 1989, it certainly is extremely heartbreaking.I got quite emotional,walking through the gas chamber, with the gas outlets overhead.You will love Liechtenstein,where The Sound of Music,was filmed accross the lake,in that pretty Castle. It is still raining here,hopefully fine for the week-end, as Poppa and I are going down to Auck for an old friend's 90th birthday. We are all well, nothing exciting hapening. Keep well, hope you are feeling a lot better. Heaps of love to you both. Take care.Nanna and Poppa.xx

Mum Very cute little skunk and racoon :)

Mum I think you do incredibly well writing your blog all the time, it must take a lot of time and it's awesome for us all at home to follow. Love all your photos as well. Thank you for all the trouble you are going to so we know how you are. Love and hugs xx
