Good shout Claire, Brad has been having penguin related nightmares ever since! Still just about coping with one bag of stuff actually, just getting quite good at wearing the same stuff all the time! hehe. Christmas wise were still not sure, trying to spend a bit more time in South than Central America cos there are still soo many places we want to go, but will keep you posted! Anyways you dont need to send us anything, we can have a March Christmas when we get back and have a big roast!

Lots of love

xxxx

Happy Birthday for tomorrow Nan! I sent you a big email too so hope you see it tomorrow! xxx

Haha Brad you big woss!!! Now I know penguins are your weak point...will keep that in mind if we ever need to play a practical joke on you! Chili sounds quite simply amazing...hope you get to squeeze in some skiing in...How are you getting on with having just one bag of stuff Jen? Paid anyone to carry it yet?! haha looking forward to your next blog lots of love xxx

P.S. do you know where you'll be a christmas? (will it be possible for me to send you something?) xxxx

Hi. I was beginning to worry might have known that you would be filling yourselves up with steaks and partying all night!!!! Still sounds like great fun, don't forget to keep in contact

Love to you both, Mum Dad and the girls

Haha! No worries Clairey, no wedding bells, Brad just likes to sign off with his initials!

Spain sounds awesome! Did the surfing in Devon help? Are you quite the expert now?! Flamenco in beetle juice trousers eh...weren´t tempted to indulge in the local pasttimes then? hehe!

Quality to have a lovely long update from you and sounds like you had a great time! We are also excited about the prospect of London brunches with you both! I heard the UK was having a bit of an Indian summer!!

Anyways, great to hear from you and keep messaging.

Love us xxx

BJC-Brad Jen Clarke?! errr...you haven't got married on the sly have you? Better not have-I was looking fwd to wearing that hat!

So sorry for not being in touch recently, was in Spain which was awesome, really hot and a great laugh sharing very close quarters with Phil's best mates and girlfriends...I, too, befriended a dog named rooster which chased our car for at least a mile up the main road-as you can imagine Jen-I was quite distressed! Tried out windsurfing properly and managed to get a couple of surfing days in too...drank lots of mojitos at the local bar and saw some amazing impromptu flamenco dancing by a lady wearing beetle juice trousers!-I digress...

Anyway, just after a week it was torturous to be back at work so God help you when you return after all the amazing things you've been doing and seeing! So may great places it seems difficult to work out what have been your highlights so far!

Not much to report from the UK, it's really autumnal now and the nights are drawing in...have just been on the clipper boat to Greenwich Park to have a look around the Royal Observatory which was quite cool...can't wait for you to get back and spend lazy sundays breakfasting and brunching in London.

Go easy on the steaks and take care.

Speak soon,

Love Claire and Phil xxxx

I love reading about your latest antics and exploits, it does make me wish I was there though :( Sweden is now freezing, supposed to snow tomorrow and I'm off to Austria in less than two weeks! BA is awesome huh! Miss you loads! xxx oh, Johan says hi x

Hi Jen and Brad-what a fantastic time you are having and your education furthered too! Will your lives ever be the same?? It is fantastic to be able to read what you are doing every day. I am off on my travels again at the end of the week but only to Derbyshire where we have been several times before. Take care and keep enjoying yourselves. Lots of Love Nan xx

Thanks for the card and the happy birthday messages guys. It's much appreciated and we were well impressed with the planning on it.

We keep reading your blog when we can and BA sounds brilliant with all the partying. I think I was born on the wrong continent with all the amazing steaks that you can get there!

We're just big green eyed monsters and very jealous of you.

Keep having fun and we can't wait to hear all the stories that are too long to explain on here!
