Hello Simon and Lisa, I was advised to contact you on behalf of BBC's Watchdog consumer programme. It appears you have invited people to "travel the world" with you by proxy, via reading about your adventures on this website... However, whilst your travel companions can have no complaints with the entertaining and informative annecdotes and photographs Aug 04 - Jan 05, the recent lack of contributions has left your public saddened and disillusioned. I invite both of you to appear on BBC's Watchdog on Friday 1st April (we can arrange a live satellite link) to explain yourselves. I may be a bit orange and incredibly wrinkly but I seriously doubt my job is in danger from the Goodiers - you are clearly more concerned with enjoying yourselves than making everyone else jealous.....you'd do well to remember what this trip is truly about (and I don't mean waiting for house prices to drop). I look forward to your prompt response...

hello you beautiful lovely people x x x x WOW! you are so lucky ! what a life time achievement. Only just got my computer fixed at last! kaya is walking talking and mastering the art of having a fit when she doesnt get her own way, little madame! Leon is super duper well, his got a science week at school. Life for me is great as well getting a job hopefully at the collge near by supporting students and in the process of starting up my own buisness! Anyway, lots of love and kisses,you both look very well and if this doesnt make you adore each other anymore then what will! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Just been catching up with your latest adventures. Now you are in Australia we can say 'been there and done that'! Well, some of it anyway. Moving to Norwich in the next month or so but no completion date as yet. Will be close to Helen, Ian, Evie and Bryony - to do a spot of child minding! Love to you both.

Hello Lisa and Si, sounds and looks like you are having a fantastic time! I definitately plan to do something like that after uni! Sue and Rich send their love and hope you have a good time when you meet up with your Mum and Paul! June is enjoying having another dog around the house; the exercise is good for her! wishing you all the best on the rest of your travels! Lots of love from Bex, Sue, Rich and Rach xxxxx

Hello you two
arrived in SanFrancisco safe after a very long journey, will be in touch later just off to explore the sights
love you Mum nd Paul xxx

Hi. Just waved off Chris and Paul on the first leg of thier journey. Chris very nervous. Nice to know my suitcase is going round the world even if I can't. Remind them to keep in touch. Back Lane and work won't be the same for a few weeks.

Hi both, hope you are well. Looks like you are having a fab time. Just popped round your mums to say our farewells and to wish her a safe journey. She is stressing to the max (not like her!!). Her suitcase is too heavy (it weighed 10lb before she put anything in it!!). She has got things under control now, she has borrowed a suitcase. Paul is just having his holiday haircut, your mum has just cut him!! Me and Clive are moving house next week so think of us while you are sunbathing on some sundrenched beach. Got to go now, got to raid your mums wine bottle again!! Take care both and hope you continue to enjoy yourselfs.

Love Claire and Clive

Hello Lisa and Si. Happy New Year to you both. Looks like you are having a brilliant time on your travels, the pictures are great. Simon...60 second free fall...mmm, you have more courage than me to do that!!!! Lisa, I bet the Kangaroo was a shock to see first thing in the morning, and as for that peruvian Tarantula, louise needed counselling after seeing that picture!!! Have a great time!! Love Dean,Louise and Laura xxx

Ive just been catching up with your photos. Wow, you really have been to summer bay and had a cuppa with the neighbours! That wombat that you were holding was really cute. Looked like it was after your nipple!!! And Lisa what happened to you sky diving? Simon, it looks as though you enjoyed it. Also i hope you are looking after the beast of a car its certainly a big one! I can just see Lisa driving that! I agree with Daz whoever is taking the photos is fantastic. Are you sure your not cheating and sending us postcards? Ha Ha!
