Bruv,

Was he a Forest fan? Does he know Chris Horton? Was it Chris Horton?

You Reds!!!

Good to know you're enjoying life. Much love,

Well this is all very jolly! I'm 2000 words away from freedom which is obviously why I'm on here reading ur blog.

Rach, don't let him drive anything again, I've not even been able to look at a jet ski since being a passenger with him.

Bruv, we've managed to get rid of the rats so my chances of being bumped off by the plague before u get back have reduced drastically.

Glad to hear ur making friends. How much is a full english out there? bet it's not cheaper than weatherspoons.

I'm off busking with the choir in the city centre tomorrow, so depending on who turns up i'll either be rich or chased out of town.

Anyway I'm goin back to my essay now.

Stay smart, stay safe.

P.S. do they have tax disks in Goa?

WWWWWAAAAAHHHHHHH!! loving the blog! and all the adventures.... Da Costa Badger, all the weeing chat makes me giggle!

Hope you are both looking after each other! It looks like you are having such an amazing time, and really experiencing it all!

highlight's of my little Wigan life on the prairie??? i've seen New Moon twice during opening weekend! I have a serious child crush!

Keep up with all the posts...living vicariously is definitely keeping me going hehe!

miss you both lots and lots! shouldn't really say it but....come home soon... Ok, only kidding..hehe keep having muchos fun!

can't wait to read the next installments of your India adventures!

love ya's xxxxx

Alvaston is looking particularly beautiful this morning. I can see the sunrise......the little sods have been in that chicken shed again.........sorry it's just egg dripping down the window of my office. I am very jealous when I read your blog and I hope you are having a fantastic time. Jonathan (Dastardly) and me (Muttley) are starting our research into the beers of Derbyshire on Saturday but I can already give you one invaluable tip for your trip which I gleaned from the Good Food Show. If you smell sulphur there may be Marstons Pedigree nearby. I have been down every drain between Bonsall and Alvaston since Saturday and not found a drop so if you could return the deodorant at some point it might come in handy. In the meantime I'll keep searching.

Continue to have a wonderful time and that's an order!

Roger

Hi Joe and Rachel
In work this morning lovely to have news of you both. I did not envy you the ten hour trip though.
Love Lin xx
