Hi Laura, Good to know you are enjoying yourself and hope you are now back in funds!! As everyone has told you, the weather here is awful - bit better today but more on the way so we are told. Your Nan and Grandad are well but missing you. I think everyone misses you, I know I do but it is great being able to keep in touch like this. Will write again. Love, Effie.

Morning, take it from your last posting it timed out on you or something as it finished on a start of a word. I'm sitting here at reception covering the desk for an hour or two and thinking of you in the sun experiencing all the things that you see, and all i look forward to is a trip round Sainsburys, maybe they have something new on offer! Your elephants in the sunset sounds amazing and i now have this mental image of 40 black different sized shaped elephants strolling to water with a magnificent orange coloured sunset in the background. Hope you got some photographs. ah well back to reality, keep in touch, talk to you soon. Love mum xxxx

Laura, Take no notice of Hanna, that veggiemite is the most evil thing you will ever taste - don't do it!!! Your mum tells me you are still nagging her to do things from the other side of the world, nothing new there then!? Robin has 'Man Flu', so we are all suffering, he must feel bad though, he has stopped up here & not gone to work. Dan & Wez are OK, Dan still a bum & Wez had to park up as it was too dangerous to drive his Lorry due to the winds, trees down, over 20 lorries turned over & pretty much all of the Motorways closed today, but we are all safe & warm in our houses, just spoke to your nan, they are both fine. |More info on the journals though please, what, where & when, you know how nosey we are, want to know everything. Keep on enjoying it, wish we were with you x x x x

Dear Dear Laus, Aiya! I am missing you so much! I am so glad you are having such a good time! Your journal is written like a true professional are you planning on writing a travel book when you're back!??
