Hi Nic,

Vietman looks really good, to bad you can only afford to live in cave. Really great to speak to you on Sunday. Did you manage to hit anything with your gun? As I said I'm climbing up mountains this weekend so wont be able to speak to you. The pictures are really good. Speak soon, curly,

Love Dad

Just been looking at the Blog - wow what a sunset and the sights you are seeing! Life back in Hinckley and Manchester will never be the same! Hope you've recovered from your journey. Dad wanted to know if your hair was still curly, Nic!!!!! I think he's back on this planet!!

It was really great talking on Skype again even though the line wasn't brilliant. The kitchen is full of dust etc. but will look good. Still looking for the right tiles. Where are you when I need the help - thousands of miles away!!

Off to cook tea and have a rest - spaeak soon, love you lots

What fantastic pictures - dad liked the gun whilst I, of course favoured the penquins and elephants.

Sorry about my spelling in last message - must be with txting!

Hoping to speak to you soon

Take good care of yourselves xxx

Hi,

Just taken a look at your latest photos. Awesome.

Nic - Firing an AK47, total respect.

Caroline - You really should try shooting with your eye's open

I hope you checked your travel insurance first. Yeah right

The sunset looks amazing.

Take care both.

Hi,

Just been catching up on all your blogs and pics (having trouble getting on to it at work). Looks like you're having a great time and doing loads on fun stuff. Vietnam looks really interesting I'd love to go, Joe's reading a book about it at the moment so he's been looking at your pics.

Not much goss from this end really, the sun has been out today which has been good it's been raining loads recently. Booked our summer holiday we're off to France for a week with 7 of Joe's mates can't wait. Off to Manchester this weekend then off to Leicester the weekend after to see the sex and the city film I'm soooooooo excited!!

Missing you lots xx

Hi ladies,

Nice to see your latest pics. Looks like you were really slummin it in the hotels of Laos!

Hey Caroline you know when you said you'd cook me a meal after that cookery course???? Think i've changed my mind.....

Cant believe you actually fired guns when you wouldnt even look at a picture of me holding Jamies weapon!! You look like Lara - only even more gorgeous.

Scenery fantastic, very jealous especially bathing with the elephants.

The garden back home is looking pretty good too right now- will send you a picture.

Better dash now.

Take care. Love to you both. Richxx

Hey there you two,

Yet again some great pictures. The scenery in Vietnam looked pretty cool, very James Bondish. Good to see the two of you are still having a good time.

Good to see you are keeping clean, I'm sure Nic was enjoying the bath more than the elephant in Laos, had it been a few days! Better not say that you scared me with the AK47, looked like a natural, a bit like Carolines Dirty Harry impression.

Keep looking after each other and really enjoy yourselves.

Lots of love xxx

P.S. Not too sure about your penguin (did'nt know Vietnam had penguins!) fixation Caroline, think you may need therapy when you get home...x

Dad's just been interviewd on Radio Lincolnshire, talking about the vineyard and tasing the wine! He did really well and the wine was well received. It's getting quite well known, people are asking for it in the wine shops in Lincoln - we've just come back from visiting one. Unfortunately we haven't enough to supply him this year.

We'll make sure there is some left to celebrate your return!

Hope to hear from you soon

Love n hugs xxx

Hi Auntie Nic,

My back teeth are coming through so I'm in a bit of pain and snot seems to be pouring out of every facial oriface (are you impressed at my advanced word cupboard!) but I'm still sleeping through (night 17) so mummy and daddy are really pleased with me and have just about got used to getting up at 6am, daddy's better at it than mummy!!

I really like seeing you on the computer, I think it will freak me out when I see you for real, only joking I can't wait, mummy says you're going to babysit at least twice a week!!!

Speak soon, love Oscar x

Hello, hello,

I am returning to the message board after a time away. Hope your both well. Nic it's great talking on Skype, thought I'd let you and mum talk on Sunday, that absolutely made her day. As always if you can call on Thurs or Fri I'm around. Was a bit stuck as had nobody to go to sex and the city film with but have managed to find somebody to go with but won't be the same. If it's good we'll do a dvd night when your back, how does that compare to looking after elephants and climbing everest - far superior I'm sure!!!!

Love you lots, Michelle

Hi there - just wanted to wish you a "Happy anniverary of the first ascent of Everest!"

Looking forward to hearing more of your adventures - Vietnam etc sounds like you're enjoying the experience.

Hoping to speak to you soon and "catch up" - take care of yourselves

Lots of love as always xxx
