Have a good flight back, we've got lots of fattening food and drink ready for you here for Christmas! And James, you'll be pleased to hear there is not a chicken sausage in sight.

Hiya

I hope Borneo and the Orangutans have lived up to expectations. The weather here is set to turn a little warmer at the wekend so it shouln't be too hard for you to come home. Looking forward to seeing you both again.

Lots of love xxx

Hiya guys

Great site, I was wondering why you were having so many holiday, didnt click that you were actually travelling!!!!! Hope you are having a lovely time. Ivan is very jealous, but he has commitments here, ha ha. Kids are fine, Demilee starts infants in January and Ben starts preschool in January, my babies growing up too fast.

Had some devasting news 4 weeks back, will tell you when you get back or in a email on your face, don't want to put it in your message board.

Right, going now, fantastic photos. Enjoy yourselves

Okay, mega update coming up. We wrote the blog for Uluru a few days ago whilst we were killing 4 hours in Mackay waiting for a bus (thank god for the internet) but the site was down for maintenance, so we could not post it. And now we're going to do one for Airlie Beach and the Barrier Reef. Still cannot upload photos though so that will have to wait til Singapore in a couple of days!!

Tim - just picked up your email, definitely up for NY at yours, cheers for hosting!!

Hi,

Just to keep you in the loop and in case you not read my email, New Year is happening in Chepstow.

Hope that's okay with you guys and see ya soon.

Hey you two. Big apology for not thanking you earlier for my birthday presents. I loved the tops .

Oliver appears to be more himself this morning so hopefully on the road to recovery. My mum and dad are having himfor a couple of days to help Jonathan and I get over colds/infections.

I don't know,what a household eh!

Thanks again.

You have absolutely no idea just how envious Mum and I are, that you have found the Cloudy Bay winery. You are very lucky to find that wine in the UK! It is, of course expensive and arguably the very best Saivignon Blanc that we have ever tasted. We managed to get 2 bottles one Christmas (if you remember James) at about £25 each. The only other time we found a bottle was in Naples, Florida.

Hi Tiff!!

Glad you got some well earned sunshine in Egypt, just a shame about the work bit of it! Did you get to do much sightseeing? Bet you're browner than I am, although weather today has been a lot better!! We saw some sunshine!!

Hows things with you anyway, hope Spencer is ok too. Can't wait to see you either, it will have been far too long!! xxx

Hi both of you!

Your trip so far looks amazing, I have just returned form working in Egypt for a week and a bit..not very exciting compared to what your doing and well it involved work, weather was great though made a nice change from this freezing cold weather! Hope your both OK looks like your having an incredible time and enjoying varying seasonal weather! xx Cant wait to see you at christmas x

Rain, rain, rain - is that all. Come to the UK - we have SNOW !!!

Tottenham Hotspur's number 9 he used to play for Moscow,
He likes to drink and always puts some vodka in his kenco,

...the "Magnificent Frigatebird" - it certainly lives up to its name...

It looked like a Frigate? Blimey...
