We had a very entertaining couple of hours yesterday after the birthday lunch catching up with your photos, and this morning I checked out the latest addition! You're all definitely looking the worse for wear, I think you needed to be breaking Helen in more gently.......

Where are you going next?

Love mum xxxx

Hi there you two! Well I think you are a bit lightweight about swimmimg with poo when you clearly don't mind swimming with sharks!! I am regularly to be found swimming in poo after mucking out Scarletts geegees!!

Seriously tho, glad you are getting about...problem is, that you are giving everyone itchy feet! Hpow about a career in travel when you come home??

Much love xxxx

Hi you two!

You nearly gave me a heart attack when you said you were going to be diving with whale sharks! Then I looked at the pictures and saw that they have no teeth, phew!

Shame about your camera, are you going to try to get it fixed? We need more photos .............

and we're looking forward to hearing about Thailand.

Lots of love mum and dad xxxx

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I'm back at work so I'm able to pick up your blogs and emails again.

What a lot of photos...... keep them coming it's just great to catch up with what you've seen and done.

Loads of love mum x

Hello Gem and Charlie!!

Just come on to wish you a very Merry Christmas! (Im a little early but may not get time tomorrow!) I hope you have a lovely day, ill be thinking of you.

Thank you again for the boys presents, they are safe in my cupboard!! Cant put them under the tree yet like everyone else as Harvey will open them!!

Matt and the boys send their love too!

Missing you lots XxXx

Nice to hear that you've reached a couple of spots where you can relax for a while after all of the travelling you've done so far. Dad of course is green with envy as it's been his lifetime ambition to 'live in a hut on a beach' I hope you haven't given him any ideas!

Hope you enjoy your little bit of luxury over the Christmas period.

Let us know when you're moving on. Speak to you soon.

Loads of love

Hello!!

Yay for the 'beachy area'!!

Your blog was fascinating to read!! It must be horrible to see all those things. You kind of know that things went on but when you are in the actual place looking at the evidence it must freak you out!! Yuk! Its quite unbelievable really...

We're all fine here, baby is doing well, think he's going to be huge though!! Or maybe its just me thats huge!! LOL The boys are good, they've both had colds but seem to be on the mend now. Matt has caught it now though so Ive left him in bed this morning!! Ive been up since 7 which is unheard of these days!!

Keep checking in! Its always great to hear from you xxxxx
