Mum & Dad Bonjourno! or is it Ciao! not sure!! - just back from the Grand Tour, had a brilliant time. Loads of pasta, ice-cream(one shop had 60 different flavours - so thought of you lots) and red wine.Spectacular scenery - olive groves,vineyards,orange and lemon trees and cyprus trees - so may be able to match you on some of you photos(only some though!).Loads of culture - churches.sculptures and so many frescos, I could tell you which were Pre -Rennaisance or Bizantine !!! ( Dad all fresco'd out though!!) .Vatican and St Peter's Basillica absolutely amazing. Lovely to speak to you this morning - so glad you're enjoying Fiji and have sold the camper. Dad still can't believe they use coconut oil in their generators!! Have fun and take care - don't want to wish your time away now - but can't wait to see you both. XX

PaaM Hi both! Even I felt a twinge of sadness to see the Ace go! Still no joy yet with internet at home, so writing this at work, well it's better than .... . Scenery looks amazing. Ma now a great aunt: Jim & Jenny E-T proud parents last Friday of Seth (hope I've spelt that correct) John E-T; both well; grandparents recovering! Enjoy! Pa

jo & paul Scenery sounds fantastic, I love the sound of all the waterfalls!! (Shame it had to rain loads when you were there, to create them!) Can't believe that you picked up a hitch hiker but she does sound like she was harmless and happy to get away!! Hope that you are able to sell the camper van soon, it sounds like you are finding your way around its engine well now - dad will be impressed. Bad news - Rod Stewart concert was cancelled as he had a bad throat, good newa - rescheduled for July, you can babysit!! Boys are desperate to be on the move and I don't think I am going to be able to stop them for much longer, they are really developing their characters now and love to play boo, if you hide around the corner they lean so far forward to see you they nearly go bump on their noses. Mum phoned and she seems to be having a great time. Taking Nan to the Debs sale on Thurs. she is definitely a bit better, but that will be enough for her. Hope that you are off to Figi soon, I am very envious and looking forward to you coming home, I have to get on an orgainise some invites for mum's 50th. Take care lots of love xx

jo & boys Hi guys. It was great to hear from you at the weekend, hope that things have warmed up a bit for you. We had a picnic in the rain but the sun came out for our walk down to the mansion and lakes. You were definitely missed and Paul babysat when we had our evening meal at the rose so Kevin was pleased that he was premoted (demoted not sure!)to the kids table. Good food though, we will go up and treat you when you are back. Boys just starting to want to crawl, luckily the kitchen floor is very slidey and making things difficult!! I am a mean mother!! Take care speak soon.

Barb Just been looking at the photos of the ice bar - fantastic and you certainly look like you're enjoying it! No chance of warm lager there! All fine here! Stroud played Matson in the County Cup final at the Prince of Wales stadium. They didn't win but it was a really exciting match and the boys did good! ian had his brand new Stroud shirt stolen from the changing rooms which was a bit of a shame. We had a good meal at the R&C on Monday but you were missed. I'm netballing on Tuesdays which is quite funny really! Chris is singing in the Cheltenham festival this aft. They're doing Joseph at school in a couple of week's time and he's singing the part of the narrator which is an awful lot of singing - hopefully he'll get a few spectators coming along for moral support. I'm emailing an australian lady who has traced her ancestors back to Nympsfield. George gingell went to Oz in 1750 I'm sending her a book about the village as she wants to know more. Take care xxxxx
