Yeah, happy birthday Gandalf.

Still enjoying keeping up to date with your travels, South America sounds amazing and glad to see you are still going.

I tell you what India seems like long time ago now.

When did 'Gordon's last Ga(s)p trip' turn into 'Maybe not Gordon's last trip'? Where are you planning to go now?

Anyways keep in touch,

Dear Gordon - Happy belated Birthday or should I say BUON COMPLEANNO!!! Hope the Spanish is improving!
Love and best wishes for the rest of your trip.

Hi Gordon, Happy Birthday and Happy New Year since I haven't seen you since you left. I hope you have a great day in your birthday and all is going well with your trip. I'm sure you're having a fantastic time and you have visited amazing places, I'll go an and check your photos too. Have a nice remaining of your trip. We'll see you back in London.

Have the most wonderful birthday. Lots of kisses and hugs.

A Simply fabulous 65th birthday spot! Happy birthday from all of us Connecticut yankees.
in a couple of weeks, we are taking off for some skiing in Utah and then some desert exploring
in Arizona. Nothing quite as courageous as your trip.
By the way, you are looking fabulous...obviously, wandering around the worldagrees with you.
Love, Judith, John, Julia, Java, and Petey

Gordon.... we did enjoy meeting you and having you to stay.. we hope you had a happy birthday yesterday!!..very impressed with your jump off Sky City tower.. have a successful and safe trip.. might catch up with you in London some time.. very best wishes.. Debbie & John

Happy birthday to you; happy birthday to you; happy birthday dear brave one...
VERY impressed by the jumping feat. Peru sounds wonderful and tomorrow you'll be another year wiser - so please stay on firm ground and keep safe. We will be thinking of you on your birthday and hope that you have a wonderful day whatever you're doing to celebrate. With much love Jo, David and the rest of the Highgate crowd.xxxxx

Have a fantastic birthday wherever you are and whatever you are doing. Lots of love. M xx

Many Happy Returns, Gordon for the 25th! I can only guess you are spending this significant day on top of something: a mountain, perhaps, or a glacier, going down in some verdant valley or up to your knees in something squelchy. Whichever it may be I hope you enjoy your Birthday fully and enhanced by good wishes from all your friends in the UK. All is well here. Kindest regards, Mike g x

Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Gordon (for the 25th, I know it's early but just in case you don't log on until then), happy birthday to you....and many more...(you know the tune I expect). Hip hip hooray, hip hip hooray - for he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow.....bumps! Happy Birthday Gordon. I wish you peace, love and joy wherever you are. I hope that your day will be a splendid adventure and that you will know how much you are loved. I for one will be thinking of you. God bless and much love, Lisa x

Hi Gordon,
It's early Sunday here, quiet and very cool. I have taken some time to catch up on your trip and I am mighty impressed. Thanks for your e mails and cards. Peru sounds like blss but I think I would struggle a lot with altitude. I cannot tell how impressed we all are here with your adventure.

The play has received mixed to excellent reviews and we are selling out to very enthusiastic crowds. The cast is terrific and we, also, have been through a touring adventure which as you know is very bonding. Not much can throw us and a few small minded b****ings from old Arts page hacks in local papers is only a mild irritant. The spirit at the National is very strong.

I am off to a football match today, Chelsea v Colchester in the FA Cup. It will not be a pushover. We took a 3-0 defeat at Middlesborough last week which was a sharp reminder that our team is vulnerable. Still, they should win the Premiership IF there are no more upsets. We have a massive game against Barcelona on Wednesday 22 Feb which I can't get to as I am working that night. It will be a stupendous atmosphere.

All of which must seem a planet away from Peru. It all seems very rural and rugged and unlike anything I have ever experienced. Please don't tell me the oil refinery was just out of shot next to the MacSanders Burger Complex.

I will text you on your Birthday on the 25th for sure and catch up again very soon. We all continue to enjoy the big adventure, Mike g x
