Welcome back you two - Ive been following your blog all the way and must admit you are either very brave or very mad people. Anyway Matt - I have text you but I'm not sure if you still use modern technology like mobiles any more, so if you are still checking this site send me an emial or give me a bell on my mobile. Would be good to catch up with you both !!! Mobile 07808654351.

Howdo! Welcome home! Hope you have arrived safe and sound and are coping with this God awful weather! I bet Mrs Colin is giving you hell for being gone so long!

We've thoroughly enjoyed reading about all the countries you've visited, but as you can imagine we're counting the hours until we see you both. Today (Tuesday) has been quite emotional so far, as we have just said cheerio to Jeanine, John, Catherine and Duncan, who are off to Canada and we're not sure when we will next see them. See you both VERY soon!

Hi Helen and Matt

Hope you are having a lovely time.

Just at work with Linda and Diane saying "wonder where Helen is?"

Lots of Love from Cathy x

Hello again you two. Well, your adventure is almost at an end - we've certainly ejoyed following your travels (but probably not as much as you two have enjoyed travelling!). Everyone is looking forward to seeing you both again (including our Princess (Mrs C!). Will explain that cryptic remark next time we speak! I have a theory as to what breed she is.

Take care, love to you both.

Hello you two, just thought I woild send a message to let you know how things are going. Finished our jewellery class, but am signing on again for you Helen, and me. Stacy can't be taught anything else! Think you will enjoy it. Mrs C behaving herself, apart from the mad 10 minutes she insists on having every now and then. Everyone else is fine, looking forward to seeing you both soon.

Lots of love, Mum, Dad and Mrs CXXXXX

Hi,Hi, We're just back from our trip to sunny South Africa. Hope you're having as much fun as we did. There were lots of people there who went barefoot too, even in the shopping malls. We almost got mall-ed to death!

Hello you two,

Well, what a week I've had. I have been sent so many flowers I ran out of vases and toyed with donating some to Church! I have also received loads and loads of lovely presents, the most special ones being a beautiful black opal brooch and and an extremly versatile holdall for all my night school jewellery stuff. Got that many bottles of wine I could open my own wine shop! I could manage having a special birthday again - it's quite nice!

Hope you enjoy New Zealand, shall speak soon, take care.

Hello Helen and Matt,

have just been looking at your photos and liked the two towers. Has the rain stopped yet? How are you both? How are you liking your journey so far? Are you going on any big train journeys in Australia? Have a good time,

love Duncan and Dolly - my GP
