Hi Debra ,glad you enjoyed the photo's...we hav'nt looked at them all yet, we dont have time!! I'm out today with Janet she is the owner of our guest house, we are going shopping. Ded could you turn our bed on please .. you only have to switch the switch on the wall, every thing else is down. The wind has died off now, the wind is named the Cape Doctor as it soooooooooooo strong it blows all the germs away. If you thought the ostrich had short legs, you should see my legs they have grown,trying to reach the ground and keep my feet on the ground, it didnt happen I had to get my fat legs and tuck them around the birds thighs, sounds familiar!!! Hi Patty , so sorry to hear about Donna ,I hope she will be OK.. I will phone you when I get home to see how she is. talk to you all soon xxxx
Debra

I've never seen an ostritch with little legs before how long did it take for him to recover!!!!The photo of the pool and sea the glass of wine positioned perfectly thought I could pick it up and slurp it, how many lepoards did dad have to shoot to make that bedspread he must of been very busy.

Hi Mum&Dad sounds like you have both been very busy on your tour hope you got to see all you wanted sounds like you did cant believe that you are on your last week it feels like its been ages and ages but when I think about that first message saying 1 more night to go that doesn't seem so long. Alls well this end sam is back to school tomorrow the snow was very sparse and he has had his sledge out waiting for a good covering but we never got it just a sprinkle so i think the sledge will be back in the shed without much use this time.been up home today turned the heating up abit in readyness, got the van started today will do the car probably friday then you will up and running.I found the wed/thurs worst than the friday I suppose it was because I kept thinking this time last year etc and running through the days again, hope you and dad have been alright.Looking forward to seeing you both in a few days make the most of the sunshine top up your tan your only going to be allowed to southend for the next 10 months!!!!Lots of love Debraxx
