Hi Ewan. another Monday morning and it'ds sunny and not too cold. We've had a non stop weekend with bits and pieces al over the place and it feels quite nice to be at work, and sitting downand drinking coffeee and sending you a message. Where are you now?Have you got a contact no. for Lucy/Kay so that I can see if they want any pictures/rugs etc. Hope to hear from you soon. Be safe Love HX

Hey!

You missed an awesome games night this weekend, but I'm sure you are having jut as much fun on your travels. Got some bad news - when you get back Kay and I will be in hertford, we got a place this weekend, but it also means you are welcome to stay any time you cant get home on a night out - so there is a silver lining to every cloud.

More photos please!!

Hi Ewan, Good to hear from you again. By the time you get this, you'll be in Hanoi and meeting up with more new people and experiencing different food, weather, culture etc. The hen experience was full on, but enjoyable for the most part, although 2 G+T + 1Vodka+Lem+Lime cost £22 at the hotel bar (I think/hope that they were doubles!!!) The living room is finally done and looking really comfortable and calm and the wet room should be finished this week. We're in the middle of a cold snap, with snow on Sunday and yesterday so it's weired to think of you having to put on sun cream. Hope all is going well and this next leg is going to be just as enjoyable. Love you. Be safe. Hxxxxxx

Hi Ewan - been looking at your slideshow - China looks beautiful - your mum keeps me up to date - WHAT - ANOTHER HAIRCUT!! Enyoy the rest of your travels - remember to let me know when you will be in NZ so we can meet up - if you want. have fun and be safe

HI Ewan, What a lovely surprise to hear from you yesterday, I kept smiling all day, whoich given I was at work, was pretty good, so thankyou for making my day. The photos are fab and I really really wish my travelling was all lined up and arranged!!!!! I can't believe that you've had to get your haircut so soon (Maureen will be horrified). At least it was bery cheap and the massage sounds good. Glad that you've had a message from Sam. Thankyou for spending some of your precious time in HK sending all those lovely pics and update. Life at home still revolving atound DIY+Kirsty's hen weekend in London (Friday-Sunday). Friday early pm includes a 2 hour pole dancing class, which Shona and I are going to miss, unfortunately. We're absolutely devastated as you can imagine,that we'er missing this opportunity. The coach is booked to take us to a club(???????) at 11.15pm. Mange tout!!!!!!! I might give that a miss as well and have an early night. We're going to see Grease on the Saturday night. I'll update you on the gory details next time. Happy travelling. Be safe Love HXXXX

Thanks for blog, photos and phone call -and I'm looking forward to those dumplings!

It was good to speak to you and photos are brilliant - countryside looks spectacular.

Try to find out for me why there are all these mountains which rise sheer from the ground (as opposed to having foothills).

Enjoy the next leg.

Hi Ewan

Just so jealous of your travels. China looks spectacular. Lorraine told you that the new person did not turn up - Otherwise life at work rolls on as usual Look forward to your next update.

Hey, well I thought I should post a message- Good to see your photos but you don't appear to be on many- try and get some of you- lol.

Keep me updated on everything I should be doing.

Missing you loads x

Its very quiet around here and I haven't got anyone to blame for all my mistakes now! By the way the new recruit didn't turn up.... anyway, love the photos, keep them coming and I'm very jealous

Hi Ewan, how are you? Still travelling well and enjoying life I hope. I'm trying to restrict the numbr of messages that IO send you as I've told myself that you really don't want your neurotic mother sending a message every day. However, as you know restraint is not something that I'm very good at. The good news is that the lving room is nearly finished and looking tres chic+the wet room tiling is starting today. Bet you're glad not to be any part of this. Be safe. Love you HXX

Hi Ewan,

Thanks for the photos - they look great. Like Lucy, I'd forgotten the haircut, and it was a bit of a shock. Unlike your Mum, I don't think it will be finished for Shona coming home, but looking forwardv to seeing her.

Have a great time! (On winning side again last night.)
