So Sinhoukville, what can one say about Sinhoukville and our time there. First thing to say is that this entire blog is coming from my extensive memory bank. The first of the leaks in this ban…

Today was mainly a day of travel once again, although not the longest of all journeys it took up the majority of our day. We got breakfast at the Flying Elephant, bumping in to the guys from …
The plan for today was to go to an orphanage in Phnom Penh, an activity that is fairly widly advertised around town, but on the way to stop at the Russian Market to first shop and secondly to …
We were all dreading this day!!
The day started better than the previous, i.e we weren't thrown out of our guest house, and we got breakfast without an other incident other than the owners of …
After a good sleep a big room, we decided that we would stay another nihgt in the guest house we were in, and we obviously assumed this wouldn't be a problem considering we had told the owner …

Nice to pick up your latest blog but we just wonder what is happening in Jade's life too! Would love to hear from you - both! Lots of love
Us 2
Stephen (Jade`s Dad) again!
This one`s for Phil, who I believe is a bit of a footie fan - a recent story / joke related by a former Liverpool player about the Liverpool v Chelsea match in the semi-final of the Champions League, who said,
"I was watching the match on tele and the wife started doing a bit of hoovering. Anyway, she accidentally knocked the hoover against the tele - and Drogba promptly fell over"
Boom Boom (sorry, old hat - Roland Rat and all that - which probably means absolutely nothing to you Phil but your "old" dad can explain)
Stephen (Jade`s Dad) again!
This is a message for all those following Jade and Phil`s travels, who read the message board and don`t know about a recent achievement by Jade.
A couple of weeks ago she decided to do a deep sea diving course, qualified and enjoyed it so much she promptly took the advanced course - and qualified again.
Is that a bit special or what!
Love from (a completely unbiased) Dad
Stephen (Jade`s Dad)
Is this "Message Board" working? - sent a message earlier and has not yet appeared.
Darling Jade, Have sent Auntie Margaret and Uncle David`s email address under "Email" and am told that it has been successfully sent - as such, hope you have got it.
Hope you and Phil are both well and that life is still fun, fun, fun. All`s well here although, given that Nathan has just started taking his GCSE`s, I doubt he would describe his life as fun, fun, fun!!!! I have done my (boring old fart) dad bit and given him the old line (as have parent`s throughout the ages) about "school being the happiest days of his life" but, would you believe, didn`t get any thanks for my pearl of wisdom!
I love you my darling daughter - keep safe, be happy, say "Hi" to Phil and hopefully we will chat to you soon.

Hi Both
Got back from Venice yesterday so am catching up with the blogs and Phil's call today. As Stephen says its been snowing which was a shock after the sunshine in Venice.
Glad you are meeting lots of people and seeing new things.
Spoke to Shon today who is just back from Ankar Wat. She had a fabulous time and learned lots whilst she was there. She is sure you will really appreciate it. Her family are expecting you and looking forward to meeting you.
Bye for now. Much love
Helenx

Darling daughter and Dear Phil,
Checked out the message board and decided we had all been a bit quiet since 31 March - sooooo, thought I would pen a few words.
Great to read your latest "blog" about your stay with "Puma" and family - it all sounded great fun and everyone should have a swim in "a river" at some time in their lives.
Everyone well here - Nathan back to school today which he is absolutely thrilled about!!! Skye sends a loving "woof".
Keep the "blogs" coming whenever you can. Lots of love (to my darling daughter "upto the sky and up to the ceiling").
Daddy / Stephen
PS You are missing a snowy "winter wonderland" here in good old England!

You sounded like you were having a great Birthday yesterday, Phil. Found some pictures on the net of Don Det and the Mekong. Looks idyllic. Quite the best place for a birthday.
Much love.
Aunty Margaret and Unc David
Happy Easter you 2! Hope that you can get hold of some Easter Eggs - although they will proabably melt in the heat! Much love.
