OK, First - There are shops selling Hamster and Guinea Pig here in the UK ~ They're called pet shops ~ and I'm sure that you'll find a suitable, sorry 'pukka', recipe on JamieOliver.com.

Second - Have a fantatic time Josie, it sounds like you are already. I would say that it's quiet without you, but in truth it's never quiet with Lilian around.

Enjoy your trip.

Sorry - Helen - hamster? Surely guinnea pig? Or are they the same thing? Or can you eat hamster here as well?

Thanks everyone for the messages people, keep them coming.

Lou - now there are pictures, we would be waiting for a while if it was for met to get a tan.

John - well done with the technology, almost.

Helen - it was on the menu tonight but as we´re starting the inca trail at 6am tomorrow with access to loos only twice a day, I though it better to play it safe with a pizza.

Please can you try some hamster. I didn't get to try any (to be honest I didn't make much of an effort to seek one out) and want to know what it tastes like. Presumably chicken.

Didn't quite master the technology - I see the message is on twice.

Hi Josie. Sounds a good start to the trip. Just showing you I have mastered the technology of l communicating with you. Inca Trail - yes, I am jealous. Have a great, great time and hope you avoid the 'runs', common on the trail I believe. Sorry, the northern, down to earthness coming through. John

We just spent a very very wet weekend with all the girls and family in Wales for bonfire night... the bonfire wouldn't even light with two gallons of diesel poured on it!!! But had lots of fun anyway.....
