Hi Hayles. thanks for your message today. A bit manic at work so catching up with your travels on my laptop, at home, in front of the fire instead! I have just looked at your Oz pics and I AM SO ENVIOUS!! What I would do to be on a white sandy beach right now. It looks fab hon - and you all look very relaxed! Cold and overcast here - oh, and raining when I last looked out the window. Missing Blighty? Thought not. Missing you though - went to pick up the phone to call you other day - doh. Love to your men - looks like you're having a ball. Lots of love. Will email soon xxxxx

Wow, I ma soooo jealous. I am looking out my window at a grey ski and drizzle!!!!! You are looking a tad red though luv, so fire on that factor 800!!!! Have exam on Sat, and have realised that I really should have strarted studying months ago( hey old habits die hard!!) Looking forawrd to seeing more piccies and need to sort a date to catch up when you are back. Big Hugs and kisses em xxxx

Hey - what about transporting the Thaipusan festival to Berkie? Far more exciting than the Festival of Lights. I'm now imagining another criteria for entry to Victoria school...

Loving the updates. I (almost) feel as if I'm there. Have turned the heating up to get the full tropical effect. Have you met lots of others with young kids?

oscar told me that owen was his 'special friend' this week, "because he plays games that are scary".

swine flu jabs this morning. telling oscar that owen's had 10 jabs didn't work. lots of screaming and drama. next his brother went in, looked at a poster on the wall, walked out, and was given a new toy car. he still has no idea what that was all about.

Hi Guys,

Josh asked to see Owen today - very annoyed that next play date likely to be in summertime! Josh was negotiating for a visit to whoever is living in your house or seeing Smith at Olivers???

All good here, power to the parisheners.... the colouring table has returned to St. Peter's. Boys jabbed against swine flu - now have colds. Karl has broken ankle - fell in Tesco's!!

Missing you - loving the updates............very envious! have lots of fun. Us xx

hayes, who needs 'offexploring' websites when they have your mum as a regular in laura ashley... think i'm seeing her more frequently than i did you! she looks fab every time btw.

she mentioned you're island-hopping, so i'm not going to enquire as to how you are as clearly all is going swimmingly.. bye for now

"Owen, I want to tell you a rhino joke,

What do you call a rhino with 3 legs?..........

...........a wonkey!!!!"
