Good morning from Woodbridge where our summer has become rather wet of late. Just read through your latest adventures and was struck by what Jacqui was writing about the elderly and the respect shown by younger folk - as I understand it, this is frequently the case in many cultures .. although some might argue not in the UK!

Just out of interest are you able to access all the ingredients for a spaghetti? And Bird Creek .. we hope it is as wonderful as the name suggests.

Continued good wishes in up-skilling teachers you are working with. OG are soon to start .. do hope you will be able to see some of the action.

Lots of love, Dennis and Sarah xx

Hi super gran & funny grandad,

Your blogs and pictures are so wonderful! I am very jealous and Rich and I are planning already to get on to the VSO books when we retire!

Missing you loads, cant wait to see you at christmas!

All our love, Jo, Rich, Mollie & Lucy

Hi John and Jacqui

Just been catching up on your blog and pictures (its boring at work!) You seem to be very busy and having so many new experiences. Bury St Edmunds will never be the same again thats for sure!

Glad to hear you are both well and hope we will see you at Christmas

Oh, and congrats on the Babu Man/Meri thing, nice one Ric and Jo

A few days into the holiday for Dennis - although Sarah has to wait a couple more weeks for her fortnight off. Read through the latest blog and have caught up on your latest adventures - am sure you will be fixtures on the WI circuit for several years after you return .. a few photos of spiders in toilets would add suitable visual effects to all your experiences!

Pleased to hear you will be back at Christmas and hope we will be able to catch up for an evening.

Ben is off to South Africa in a couple of days time to do some coaching and deliver AIDS awareness etc which I think you chatted to him about. We will be doing work around the house and trying to organise various big jobs - new kitchens ect with the aim of having the house as we want it by the end of January.

Looking forward to the OG and hope you may be able to see some of the action?

Look forward to the next blog .. we often think and talk of you. The summer will not the same without you barbeque!!

Lots of love - Dennis and Sarah

Finally broken up! Off on cycling holiday in France at weekend. Will miss you over summer but glad to hear you will be back at Xmas!! Much love and thoughts to both. XX

These test sums get harder. Forgive me for being optimistic, but you guys seem to be getting somewhere..... Christmas should be good: time to step back and take a look at the road travelled.

Photo's are dead warm, and so's the blog....

Hi there John and jacqui. Having moved a month ago and been offline for 6 weeks or more, it is only on Wimbledon Finals Day (Nadal currently has the edge) that we are back online and able to read your blog. Sorry to hear of your injury Jacqui and hope by now that you are very much better. It sounds as if you have your work cut out in making difference but at least the senior staff have great mentors to help them.

It also sounds like your adventures with the local wildlife continue! We had photos of Mollie recently and she looks a delightful baby!

Dennis is looking forward to the summer break in a couple of weeks time and Sarah will also be having some time off.

We send you our love and are pleased to be able to keep up with your adventures.

Lots of love Dennis and Sarah

You keep the news coming and it all sounds like a completely different world you're in!! We had a great time with Paul's Mum.Ian and Lisa on our cruise round the Med at half term. We are now into our 2nd week back and Paul's busy marking GCSE papers as well as trying to write n million reports all by Friday!! Remember that world? On a better note I've joined Clarice House and love it! Missing you both. End of summer hols won't be the same without the BBQ!! Love to both A and Pxx

Hello lovely Jacquie & John

Hope you are both ok and having a fantastic time (I haven't had time to read your blog yet but will do so soon). I did notice that Russ informed you that our gorgeous little boy Dylan arrived 1 month early on 28th Feb and has been keeping us very busy ever since! We're sort of getting into a routine now so I have a small amount of time every now and then to catch up with emails and hopefully catch up on your adventures (Russ tells me it's been 'interesting' for you both!). I look forward to reading all about your adventures in PNG but just wanted to say hi! Oh and congrats on becoming grandparents xx

Take care love Sarah, Scott & Dylan xxx

Hi you two. Glad to hear you are OK but shocking about the lack of Police and hijacking of planes etc - I guess we take so much for granted in the UK. Mind you, my village can be a riot on occasion! Just in the office John, you remember the 7.30 Monday morning start - perhaps occasional electricity, robbers and difficult gardening isn't that bad after all. Keep up the good work and be safe. All the very best Steve L

You couldn't make it up! It's better than reading a novel. I hope you're storing all the entries somewhere for future reference. The casual violence must be very distressing.

There's plenty of blossom in Beyton, I'll watch it for you .

Enjoying your photos and blog! Keep it going! Saw Roger and Sherrie at weekend and they send their love! Richard is 21 this week! Jonathan is 18!! Going to see Emma's Dance show this weekend and looking forward to Bank Holiday! We have had lots of April showers recently but we had our 1st BBQ at the weekend! We've got ducks nesting outside our lounge window!!
