Pat

just seen the photos of your bungee jump, you the man!

Just looked at the wonderful photo of the two of you in your Christmas finery!! You both look so well & you are both in short sleeves too!! The weather here, for the last few days, has been awful - cold and foggy!! I can just see your smug grins as you bathe in summer warmth!! What an incredible journey you are having & you have packed so much in as well.... it must have been an amazing experience to swim with dolphins, ride the rapids, oh & not forgetting THE BUNGY JUMP!! Are you mad Pat!! Anyway we are so delighted that you are having such a great time. Enjoy Christmas. Lucy, Peter & I are spending Christmas day in Cambridge, with Jan, d*** and Nat. Jonathan & Emma are now in Rio, near Ipanema beach apparently. They will be having an orphans dinner - one specially for people away from home. They said that the hostel they are staying in is really lovely & close to the beach. Have a memorable time on your birthday Chris. We will all think of you. By the way - Mum & Dad send you their love & say thank you for your latest phone message. They enjoy sending messages to you on our computer & love looking at your photos. With all our love to you both. xxx
