Hi

Where are you? not heard anything for a month. i presume you are in Oz from previous messages. What have you been up to? Why can't I get on your blog using matthews name? I thought you had stopped using the site until I tried your name Gemma.

Hope you are both well. Missing you loads.

Love Lynnette xx

Hey honey

Missing you guys

We have exactly two months left not looking forward to joining normal life. But worse of all you guys arent there to celebrate our homecoming. Who is going to be there to drink the horrible shots we used to have. Your away for your 30th aren´t you so we will have to make up for it when you get home. Seems like your having fun life has turned around since the passports but no insurance money yet so having to ask parents which is a bit s***. Travelling through Argentina then uraguay then into sunny brazil again. I think I can manage a week at home then with no home to call our own going to be screaming to get out again but we will last untill you get back if Aaron had anything to do with it I would be coming back pregnant thne I would be stuck!

Can´t wait to go out for drinks miss you guys loads

love Keeley & aaron xxxx

Hi guys!!

Hope you're doing ok in Auz, really looking forward to hearing about how it's going so far. I'm still job hunting and not having much luck, maybe you could find out whether they are in need of any psychologists over there?

Missing you lots xx

Hi you two . Ive had a look at your blogs and videos and they are amaziing .Both me and Dad had a fantastic cruise for very different reasons Let me set the stage for you .First of all the day before we sailed we had last minute shopping to like buy Dad a suit as you know he isnt the beat person to go shopping with anyway we accomplished this in record time by going to Junction 32 . It hasnt changed much from when it was called Freeport. We set off for airport at 4am .Very early rise for Dad. The flight was uneventful but the amount of queuing we had to do before we could get on board was horrendous. Any way no more complaining the cruise was a succes. A different port nearly every day if not you were at sea . Food brilliant five course breakfast five course lunch and five course dinner if you could eat so much. needless to say Dad didnt make breakfast once as he was in the casino oh didnt I mention it had one of those. The places we visited included Malaga Gibraltar Lisbon Viggo Pia Moa and a few others. As soon as we got back home we were looking for another cruise. James and Natalie really enjoyed their holiday. Thanks for the card I dont know when you posted but I didnt ger it till 12May. Glad you missed the earthquake. Australia is such a large country hiring a camper is probably the best way of seeing it you can explore at your leisure no more rushing about catching transport that is on the whole not very good . Iam having trouble with my mobile . I thing I might need a new one. love you x

now then big fella do us a favour could you pop over to elland road on your travels?every where you seem to go theres a disaster.hope your both keeping well and not sore after the op!

Ayup Aff and Gemma, enjoyed looking at your photo's and vids of China etc and your 'blogs' are excellent..keep us updated.

I read from your Mum and Dads message that you left China before the recent disaster which is good news on your part..you must have an awful feeling though having visited so recently. Keep your chins up.

Done a bit of travelling myself this week..went down 'that London' for the cricket, might set mi sen up a blog ?

2 weeks to go at YW before moving into gardening..anyone out there need some work doing on their gardens ?

Hello you travellers. We know you are now in Australia in your camper van and are very, very envious. It's a country I have always been attracted to but never visited so we look forward to some photos and your account of what you think. We are sure you will find that the 'van' is the best way to travel and will certainly beat the overnight bus for comfort. what's more you don't have to work to a deadline so it will be a change from your hectic regime. I'm glad you are away from China and have missed the current disaster - I know it's a big country but I would have been worried anyway. We are all ok - busy as usual, dad out in the garden because we have had some decent weather for a change. I'm buzzing around, always plenty to do. Jane and Ruth came yesterday with the babies to see us before Ruth goes to Germany. We had a nice evening with them. David and Carol are in France at the moment, wish we were! Basically anywhere but here, the country is lurching from bad to worse, you are missing nothing. Dan has plenty of work and Yana has just finished her exams. They also go on holiday soon. Gramps hasn't been too well recently but seems to be fighting still and was a little better when I spoke to gail yesterday. We'll keep you informed. Hope you are both well, look forward to reading the next episode. Have fun. With love xxxxx

Hi Gemma & Matthew, I have really enjoyed looking at your photo's Beijing looks fantastic, hope you are both ok, you look good in the photo's, well Gemma does anyway! Nothing much happening here it is so quite, I am still waiting to be a grandma the baby was due on the 10th May so any day now. Enjoy the rest of your travels - Debbie

Hello both. Thought it was time we put a message on for you. We are ok and Gramps too although he soon gets tired. There is still a spark though and we are happy with that. He had a very eventful 85th birthday as guest of honour at the local school May day celebrations. Gail and Becky arranged it (Becky's sister is head teacher) anyway he loved it. All the kids made cards for him, they had a cake and sang to him. it was a lovely thing for them to have done for him and he is still talking about it so it made an impression. I've been away nearly all week doing a three day conference in Suffolk.Stayed with David and it helped going back there every night to some kind of sanity. I'm tired though. Busy next week too but in a way it will be nice to get back to the day job. David and Carol are going to France next week, we wish we were going too. Weather is a disgrace. it was warm at david's, today it has rained nearly all day. Forecast says summer next week - we're not holding our breath! We are wondering how you are doing and look forward to hearing your news. Some of the distances you have been travelling sound huge - I'm not sure I could sleep on buses, it doesn't look very comfortable. But we are happy to say that you both look really well. Take care, travel safely. With love xxxxxxx

Hi you two - just wanted to say I've really enjoyed reading about china and the pictures of the great wall are fab - What a bargain on the crispy duck too, wish it was that cheap here!

Were doing well but are very tired! Cracked the corona open but dare not drink more than 1 bottle a night cos gotta be up to do the night feeds!

Gemma your looking really well,wish I had a tan that good - and Matthew is that a beard I see?!?

Take care - love Kate, Tony, Lauren & Baby Macey xxx

Look at this your stats are going up by the second!! Katie - get a message on here will you!! Hope you're both doing ok.

Have to stress you are missed, I've only been on a DIY website before looking at yours. Only joking.

Well things are getting crazily busy for me with course / job stuff at the mo. Just have to get through the next few months.

Take care in China, make the most of the Yorkshire tea!

Lots of love Jacks x

Hiya. Just thought I'd send a quick message cos I've not done for ages. I was beginning to feel guilty. Nothing much is happening here. Please be careful in China. There has been a lot of stuff on the news, mainly about Tibet but because of the Chinese. There has been loads of trouble and violence in Tibet, so a place to avoid if you can. Missing you loads. Take care and stay safe. love Lynnette xxx
