Hi, If Laura's sister is reading this could you please email me with the date that Laura is back. Also could you email me with your Mum and Dad's address so I can send her a card. My email address is [email protected]. Cheers PS I work with Laura in case you're wondering who I am! Many thanks J x

Hello again you 2 how lovely to have another update - Will we recognise you, do you think? Goodness your culinary treats seem to have got better with each country! Hope you have a wonderful last couple of days to round off some obviously fabulous memories. Have a very safe journey home. Looking forward to seeing you both xxx

Hi Both,

I am glad you managed to fit in a few more posts itt was lovely to catch up on your blogs, it sounds like you are still having the most amazing time.

Thank you for our Christmas card :) I am really looking forward to seeing you! I miss you lots. Had our annual Christmas party at the weekend and thought you would have loved all the dancin. See you soon xx

Hi, thanks so much for your Xmas card - I cried when I opened it - I miss you so much and can't wait to see you. We absolutely have to have lunch on your first day back. Have a lovely time on the last leg of your travels, stay safe and speak soon! Lots and lots of love J x

Hi Laura! You are in India now! Time flies, doesn't it? It's very cold in Fukuoka, so I really envy you. Our cat Agri is now lying on, what we call, a hot carpet , his most favorite place in winter. Enjoy your trip in India. Say hello to the elephants. XXX

Lovely to get another blog from you! Very exciting that you've seen elephants. Would love some cardammon from the plantation, have a new recipe which uses cardammon. Can't believe we'll be seeing you soon. Mla

Hello Laura! Merry Christmas! Oooop....maybe not quite...am getting confused. Am listening to Mariah's version of Silent Night and my v.fav 'All I want for Christmas' and getting ahead of myself. The reason I have cracked open the Carey so early? Am writing my Christmas cards! Can't believe it's that time again. I have written yours! New Zealand sounds lovely, all these white peaks and hot springs, it's a real mix isn't it? And I bet you're excited for India now...you must be off soon? If not already there. Newsiness since we spoke....S asked me for a second interview with the editorial director and editor...but I couldn't make the exact time they said so I havent heard from them since!!! I despair! Christmas parties begin this week....last week I had some hol and went home and made a Christmas cake and mince pies. AND I went to the Birmingham Christmas market at the weekend :) Had a crepe and Gluwein and thought of you. Cam's coming to visit Jen and I in a couple of weeks...Jen trying to persuade her to go roller discoing...not sure she's too receptive! We shall miss you! Look forward to seeing you soon XXX

Hi Laura, Just caught up on your blog - still sounding good. I started my new job last Wednesday - I think I'm going to be kept very busy! I really miss everyone at the Walker and I'm gutted I won't be around when you get back. This move has made me realise that despite how difficult it can be sometimes I really love the people. Can't wait to see you in the New Year xxx

Hi Laura.

Only just noticed that I can message you! Your trip looks like it has been/ is amazing. I'm so envious. And very pleased you have been having such a fulfilling culinary time!

Can't wait to catch up when you get back and hear all the bits you left out. Enjoy the last part of your trip and see you when you get back to the sunny UK! Jess xx

Hi you 2 - so good, Laura, to catch up with your adventures via your extremely descriptive blog. Glad NZ has been so good too. Will look forward to hearing first hand about it all along with seeing what must be some great pics. Don't know how quickly you feel the trip is going from your end but it really does seem to be flying by. It's always odd when we are waking up here to think you have completed your day's adventures! Keep on having a wonderful time. Much love xx

Hi Laura and Darren,

I have just caught up on your blogs after being away. It sounds like you are having the most amazing time! I must remember to read before my meals as it just makes me hungry!! Take care xx ps eat marmite to keep to mozzies at bay x

Hi, sounds like you're having an amazing time - I'm sooooo jealous. Got your lovely postcard - buddha amazing! Strictly is really hotting up - I hate not having you to text! How's the air freshener shaping up?
