Hi everybody,
This is just a quick message to say we arrived in Bali safely and are having a wicked time. We will update the site in the next few days and will be in touch very soon. It is very difficult to call from here, we do miss hearing your voices and news.
Missing u all millions & millions lots of love Lauren & Justin xxxxx

Hi Lauren & Justin
Sounds like a really hectic past few days - the coties look good and the beaches must be great. We have had a wonderful w/end here with Brenda & pate - who only left late Sunday pm. The weathet has been fabulaous and we have been up in the lakes both days - went on the steam Gondola on Coniston today and then up to Tarn Hows - it was very warm for this early september.
Hope you enjoy your next destination - take care - all our love mom & dave xxxx

Hi Justin, hi Lauren

Justin's mum gave us the address just wanted to say looks like you having a fantastic time love looking at the photos, one day I might just get Michael to travel you never know!!!

Lily was looking at the photos and couldn't believe that people sit on elephants how sweet, she's growing up so fast and believe it or not she's swimming without armbands and is only 4. Harry has just had his 2nd b'day and what a handful he is!!

Take care and look forward to seeing more photos. Love Mel, Michael, Lily and Harry xxx

Hi Guys
This site is so good.Realy enjoying all the posts going up from all your family and friends. Couldnt believe it when Charles posted! Good to hear hes still alive and kicking down under. We had a good hol gulet sailing. Fantastic boat.When under sail she really ripped thru the water. Had a go at parasailing and jumped off Babadag Mountain (3790 ft) in a paragliding dive. Health and training consisted of.... Can you run....and can you jump then it was just run off the side of the mountain. The buzz was magical. Your dad thought I was quite mad. I landed on the beach ..hit the mark 15 mins later.Enjoy Bali see if you can get down to Nusa Dua and then up to Kintanami.Watch the sunset over Tanah Lot with a Bintang or two and chill. Life cant get any better than that.Looking forward to seeing all your Bali piccies.
Missing you both
love Kathy and Dad xxxxxxx

Hiya guys - hope you are all doing well. Sounds like everyone is really busy.
Charlie that is great news about the Kite course, you are going to love it - you know this means you will have to come sailing with us when you get home (and teach us some kiting also), make sure you take some pics.
Hiya Mum + Dave, Sorry I did not text you back the other day, We have run out of credit, can not text until Oz. Good to hear that you are getting the good weather still, there is nothing like a warn sunny day in the Lakes. We are off to Bali tomorrow and will be in one place for 2 weeks, so it will be alot easier to make contact. , send my love to Nan I will try and send a postcard, but if you can show her the pics that would be great. Love you both lots xxxx

Hi mum, sorry that I have not had a chance to update u before u go, its been hectic and have not stopped in one place long enough to do an update or our washing. (starting to smell know)
Its great to hear from u and getting in contact should be easier from now on. I hope that u are all well and getting on ok.
have a great holiday, looking forward to hearing about it, Loads of love J+L xxxxxxx

Well well well, what can I say looks like you are having a great time. Thailand looks amazing and even that Elephant looks happy to have you two on his back. Things are sweet at the moment in Oz working hard and looking forward to seeing you both in the New Year. I look forward to the next web bog.

I am doing a weeks kite boarding course in November and will be IKO level 3 certified at the end of it. I will then maybe stay on and do another week just on my own. Then back to Sydney to start work again :-( That basically means I can ride the board on my own so look forward to seeing you both soon and tearing it up in Oz.

By the way you are both far to organised, you have been away only for a few weeks and already your journal looks far more professional than the one I have not even started after four months of being away (dam you both).... Best pull my finger out hey :-)

Take care and Love to you both

Charlie...

Hi Both
We are wondering how your trip is going - looking forward to some more of your photos. Everything is fine here the weather is set to be really good over the w/end - so we will head up into the Lakes for the day on Saturday - the leaves are starting to turn and it's looking beautiful. Tom & Bobby are both fine - though they woke up at 5.03 am and thought it was breakfast time - so hope they sleep longer tonight - will have to get them black out curtains in their 'conservatory' Nannie is fine and sends her love - will take some of your photos down when we go next w/end. Dave's been comissioned to do some calligraphy on certificates for stone walling that Prince Chrles has signed and will be presenting to them - it's all go here you know! Take care darlings - all our love Mom & Dave xxxxx

Hi Bruv and Lauren,

Mum is here for lunch and the Grand Yard Sale, so thought it a good time to catch up. Yard sale was great fun and put the boys salesman skills to the test! It is just staggering the sheer quantity of stuff we have accumulated.

Sounds like you are having a fabulous time and it is so great to be able to see your photos on line.

Keep on enjoying and we will be in touch again soon.

Lots and Lots of Love

R, J, S, J and Mumsy xxxxxxx

Hi guys,
thanks for the message. Your photos look great. Looks as though you are having a fantastic time.
We have been really busy doing tours and are having a great time. The weather is rubbish though, more rain than the Lake District so we are now looking forward to going north and putting on our t-shirts. Thats really all i packed. I went with the light backpack option and it only weighed 13.9kg. I now wish i packed more!
take care, see you soon,
love suzanne and Simon.
