well done on negotiating the Tokyo Metro - deffo get your explorers advanced badge there! Getting my head round ninja kareokee.... do they do the high notes? or blat the bad singers. Wow - how would mom do with that.
Pictures are great - bet you have loads more to see too. Not much to report here. Wonder if we can strt the kids of mk dancing in the street?
Looking forward to the Sumo Ninjas in the tournament - perhaps thats the basis for a new playstation game....... Stay safe - watch out for the little whizzy cars. Oh and keep Graham out the gadget shops......

Still struggling with the sums on this msg board!
Can't believe how much you are seeing/doing! Will you be presenting Holiday 2008 as your next job? Your camera must be red hot. Speaking of jobs - all change at PML: Dave & Chris left!!!!!! There's an option for you Graham when you get back - I've still got the £20k cheque if that helps persuade you!! Missing you around.
Its lovely to see what you've been up to and read your stories - you sound like you're having such a great time.
Take care both of you, and lots of love, Jayne and the gang xxx

Just had a week off myself, but wasn't as interesting as yours! It rained! I know it is desperately needed, but just not this week would have been nice. Water not warm enough for swimming yet, but a little sunshine would have felt more like a holiday. So good to catch up with where you are, how it's going and your anecdotes Love the photos. Dot has hopefully extended her visa for a 2nd year, and is very happy. is working her way down the east coast- currently on a boat in the whitsundays! Be lovely to see her when she gets down this far. The family is well and all send their love- work/school continues..... Big hug, pippa xxxx

Hey Gem and Gra
Hows it going?! Sounds like your having a fab time - the Great Wall of China sounds great - very, very, very jealous.
No news here apart from wedding all going to plan (so far so good!) Gem - Hen weekend all sorted aiming for weekend of 20th June 2008! So excited! Michelle (organiser) has sent you an email but I have told her to put your name down anyway in case you didn't get chance to reply. Also planning to order wedding dress this week so very excited about that too!
Just trying to rack my brains to see if there is any other news but I don't think there is... Hum... apart from more wedding stuff - god it really does take over your life!!
Anyway take care, enjoy and will message you soon!!!!
Lots of love

Hi Graham & Gemma,
Wow, sure sounds like you are having fun. Not like you to get stressed Graham, sounds like you need a holiday!
How many photos have you taken by now?? Bet there will be a few albums by the end. Carry on having fun and everybody here says hello.
Love Hazel
Moms
Hello Gem and Graham, sitting in bed in your back room thinking of you both and enjoying reading your blogs and seeing photos. Great Wall of China - amazing. Gem, think you've done really well to resist shopping to date!! Graham, that poor taxi driver!! Its a small world when you bump into people you know when you're thousands of miles away. Worth a beer or two anyway! Take good care - sounds like you could do with a shopping trolley on wheels. Enjoy catching up with Lianne and Katherine. Lots of love MomsXXXX PS thought we'd have a house warming to complete the waining wine supplies...is that OK?!!
Mum
Good to hear from you again, the pictures were great. Can't imagine my Graham getting stressed out!! over not getting a cab when you needed one! Grandad is going with Dad to Cambell Park to watch firework display, really looking forward to that.
Your parcel hasn't arrived yet, but expect it will take ages, anything else you want to send is fine, can't possibly miss all those bargains, Grandad would be proud of you!
take care
lots of love
Mum, Andy & Grandad xx

Keep it coming guys! Still missing you. Well a little bit anyway. No news here really, same old, same old.
Although you are going to miss MK fireworks this weekend. How jealous are you!!
Love Dan x
P.S Come on you Reds!!
Chris
All in and comfy now. There is room for panadas in the garage - but not the big one!
All is good at the house. We only had a few bits left to move after I turned my back and Mom had a dump trip on. C'est la vie.....
Is Graham planning on sending through some more of that wonderful wine? Oh and we saved a really nice green paint for the walls in the front. Hope that will do. make the panda feel at home in.
Looking forward to the next instalment...........

Hey guys, hope your having a great time.
Sounds brill. I would love to see the terracotta warriors! Thought about going to the exhibition in London but the real thing definately tops it. when are you doing the great wall?? Good luck with that.
8 weeks now and had another scan last week. All is great and saw a heartbeat!!
Keep the pics coming.

Hi Guys,
Loving the pics, am extremely jealous! I definately volunteer for babysitting duties if you do bring the panda home!
News from Stony: Haseldines is closing down! Apart from that, no news to report from me!
I hope you're both having the time of your lives, it certainly seems like you are.
Lots of Love,

Didnt Mum and Dad tell you I have a secret twin brother?!
Very similar, although my nose is far more superior than his! Looks like your having a fab time.
