Hello you two! Sorry I haven't left a message before but you have to work out a sum and it took me ages . Sounds like you two are having a great time and I am very jealous!! I have a real job now...very exciting..will tell you about it when you get back. Apart from that I don't really have any news to tell ya! Hope you are still having a good time and will read up about it again soon. Lots of love Charlene xxxx

Hello Hans & Lottie Haas or should I say Armand & Michaela Denis (You may need to Google that one!) Once again a wonderful blog and photo's, continues to sound like a fantastic experience. Rather liked the idea of Tubing, cant see it catching on here though, Deptford Creek does'nt seem to invoke the same ambience. Louise, your parcel from Thailand has arrived (few, what a whopper!) as has your postcard, thankyou. The Headteacher at Lessness Heath has asked me to act as Father Christmas again this year, she also asked whether you would be able to take on the role of Elve (thats a young eel, I think I mean Elf!) She said you did such a great job last year. . . nothing about the fat geezer, charming! I informed her you would be in Australia, she was dissapointed. Weather wise, according to the 5 day forecast, we could have some snow flurries next Wednesday. Happy days! Will e-mail you re: the more mundane matters. Enjoy Vietnam, stay safe. Luv ya, Dad x x Hugs to the Lodge.

Hello, just read your latest blog and it sounds like you are both still having an amazing time. I'm so pleased that you managed to survive your bar crawl, the zip wire antics in particular!! It's suprising what seems like a good idea when you are drunk. Unfortunatly my experiences of drunkeness either make me cry or fall asleep . Lauren I love your latest profile picture on facebook, most people have serious photos taken in front of the Taj Mahal (sp?) but not our Lauren!

Weather update here....I have put the heating on tonight after a week of sitting at the computer with dead fingers. Also today on GMTV the weather lady (who wears very high heels for that time of the morning!) said that Scotland could be in for some gales...so winter has arrived.

Keep up the fun times girls

Lots of love Jan (and all the Burrows clan)

A note for Karen. I have managed to obtain tickets for Billy Elliot, just wondered whether you had seen it?

Dear Lauren and Louise, just a short note to let you know that the internet conection is still working to date. Lauren i received your postcard from Pai on Friday it does look lovely! Last week I went to see Billy Elliot with Teresa (specilal price tickets

Dear Lauren and Louise I just writing tis message to you for the 2nd time ,I was half way through then managed to delete what I had written! One day I may get to grips with computer technology! I wanted to let you know that to date I still have the internet conection. Lauren on Friday I received your postcard from Pai it does look truley beautiful.

Last week I went with Teresa to see Billy Elliot (she got special price tickets) They were great seats and we really enjoyed the show. Hope you enjoy Loowe and Vietnam. Look forward to hearing from you again when you reach an internet cafe.Keep well and take care, Love and hugs Mumxxxxxxxxxxx

Well, well, well auntie lauren!!!

An elephant ride that sounds like great fun. Sounds like you are having a fab time. When i am old enough i am going to go travelling just like you. Perhaps you could come with me!!!?? Not much changed since my last blog.......im still being a little monkey and am becoming a right chatterbox!!!!! Oh and my mummy said my hair has grown a little bit since i last saw you! Well must go now the teletubbies is just about to start!

Mummy and daddy send their love!!!!

Kisses and cuddles your litte sweetie Lily Grace xxxxxxxxx

Lots of love and wet kisses

hi poppet louise, hope everything is fine with you and Lauren. have been reading your last escapades with great enthusiasm and with great envy apart from the elephants don't think I could manage that. the most exciting thing I'm doing today is having a flu jab! Ive got to say I think I'm the only sane one in this family - reading mum's vodka session and dad (well need I say more) Hope to catch up with more of your travels soon. Miss you loads, take care the both of you, lots of love nanxxxxx

Hello Pie and Lauren

It's Saturday night and I am very drunk - I am staying at Susies and we have both agreed that we should join you on your travels - I have a good travel agent who can arrange everything - do you think we can get away with filming a fly on the wall documentary about your travels?

Of course we will need Roy to come along for the commentry as he has a natural ability to entertain an audience due to his current mental state - I think Les may be a liability if he is changing religion - however I'm sure if he consumes a few more pints he will be a valuable member of the team!

I can envisage a new reality tv show looming - should I alert the media? Maybe I should just have another vodka ..........

Sleep is looming so I will have to slur goodbyeeeeee ........

Missing my piece of pie and my caterpillar Lauren - be good, have fun and keep safe.

Love you both xxxxxxxxxx

Hey girls!! I'm glad you're having a great time. It's great to be able to hear about what you're up to too. I'm sorry about the Elephant ride and the slightly too exciting trek. I'm glad everything else is going well. Have fun on the next leg of your journey, I look forward to reading about it soon. :) xxxxx

Absolutely 'blogtastic' chicklets, it all sounds rather wonderful. I've checked, Louise and yes you are correct, as the youngest you are entitled to cry as and when you see fit (The Laws of England 1752) Lauren as the eldest, also has rights. She can beat you to within a inch of your life. if and when your blubbering becomes tedious! Seems like a deal. Enjoy Pai, I hope your Elephant experiences are far more uplifting this time. Peace and love. Daddy x x ( By the way Lauren I think your Dad might be turning Buddist. After 5 pints of Old Farts Tripple X at the weekend he started to chant and then sat down cross legged (in Bexleyheath High Street) I'll keep an eye on it for you.)
