Teresa Peett Hi James & Louise, Bet you didn't expect my name to pop up! Bumped into Mum at Sainsbury's - as you do! The only place to meet up these days! As always I ask after you and Rhiannon and was excited to know you are doing the exploring bit. My niece, Lucy is just coming to the end of her travels with her two friends; they've been away for nearly 11 months. She's on the "Off Exploring" site - where your mother told me you put your blogs! It's only because I Googled you (did you feel it?) that I found you. Teachers!!Enjoy the expereience. I shall be watching to see what you get up to!!! Love & best wishes to you both, Teresa xx

mom Hi James and Louise, Haven't read any blogs lately. try to blog again if you can they are so enjoyable. Hope you are both well. Speak soon. Love Mom.

alastair Hi Both Glad to hear you have enjoyed your Indian adventures. What memories you will have! Good luck with the elephants. Don't forget to wash behind their ears! Have a great time. Take care. Love Dad xx

Kerry Hi ewes So lovely to hear your voice this morning and yesterday even though it was 7.30 on a sunday!! I am so glad that you are both having such a good time. When I get home from work I'll have a look at your photos on Facebook. I wish Vantis were not so anal and I could get on to it at work. Natalie has already told me that there are some lovely ones of the both of you. Speak to you soon xxx

Louise Jones Louise, can't believe i didn't get to see yu before you left. It's Andy's fault for being ill on xmas party night. Can't believe your actually on your travels, it seems like ages ago you were talking about yet it's come around so quick. Bet your not missing Jenclare????? Hope your enjoying yourself and be careful, take care Louise J

Dan Hey you two. Looks like you're still having a great time. Disappointed that we won't be getting the Yak's wool rug - what is a yak anyway? Cow's on the beach - random! Finally got around to catching up on the blogs and glad to see you are enjoying it. Only problem is it seems that there are too many places to go to stay long but too many experiences to be had to move on so soon. Anyway, take care both and come back safe. See you D,D,E&H

Kerry Hi Loobs & James Hope you are alright I guess you are about to head to Sri Lanka and play with elephants. We had a snow day here yesterday. We were sent home from work Even though we all managed to get in OK, the snow started to get heavier so we all went home. I wanted to build a snowman but it was too cold. The dogs had a great time and I put some photos of them on facebook. I had to literally drag Buddy back home because he was playing in the snow with other labradors and didn't want to come back - It was dog city! Sadly back at work now though I'm hoping we get more snow it's forcast for later in the week. So what are you up to now? Where are you? What sort of weather are you having? Have you been bitten by many mozzies? Are you enjoying the food out there or has this been an exercise in weight loss for you? How come we haven't seen any photos even though we all know that James must have taken at least 27 thousand shots? Could you give me the dates for when you will be in Thailand and Vietnam so we can sort out holiday dates to meet up with you Love to you both xxx

Ree Hi Both HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMES!!!! Had a few drinks to you tonight, even if it may not be your brithday where you are! Have missed you today as it's your Birthday. Will keep drinking to you as the night goes on as a student such as myself likes any excuse!!! Chat to you soon, loving the blogs. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Dad Happy birthday James - hope Louise has used your new found celebrity status to ensure a fab (and free!) night out!

Kerry HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMES!!!!!

Alastair Hi both. Happy Birthday on Monday James! Have a good one. Hope your travels are continuing to go well. Had a look at Goa on the internet - looks lovely in places. Hope to see some pictures soon? Have fun. Love Dad xx

Jools Hi Louise & James Not sure whether you got my other message, but I am enjoying reading your blogs. Louise it is time you wrote something, poor James is doing all of the work! Sounds like you are having a great time in Goa, v. jealous. It has been very cold here & especially in Jenclare, have had to wear trousers & furry boots to keep warm! Everyone sends their love & missing you loads Louise, only just noticed the note you pinned to the board today. We need some piccies to go with the blogs, come on don`t deprive us anymore. Looking forward to the next blog, take care, Jools x

adrian Louise and James James, you really need to sort out your irrational fear of sharks. Sharks will not eat you. Come to think about it, they might have a bit of a go if you're cleanly shaven, have a reasonable haircut and smell of soap. Soz Louise, you can't have it all ways, either a vaguely clean boyfriend with no beard, or, er, half a boyfriend because you wanted him to join you swimming.... It's blue sky and 30C here as well. Aye right.

Alastair Alastair 18 Jan 2009 Hi Guys. Goa sounds lush. Sorry about the shark thing James - probably got that from me. I was never the same after watching Jaws. Anyway enjoy the swimming (you could send Louise in first to check-Ha!) Good for you Louise re the shaving and hair bit. James the hippy might have been an interesting photograph though! The weather here has been pretty wet and windy recently so make the most of your blue skies - I'm sure you will. Take care both. It's ok to haggle and even argue a bit with the locals but you will know when to bite the bullet and let it go. Peace and love guys from an ex hippy!

kelly Hey hey lady and gentleman.Good to hear that you are both alive. Having fun times i see?! James? Trance? really? You've changed!! I sort of blame Louise for this. She loves that crap stuff haha. But im glad you two crazy kids are having fun. Keep the blogs coming because I do drag my self on facebook occasionally . So have fun, be safe. and James - look after my lady please. Love Kel
