Hi Leanne and Rob,

Glad you have made it safely to NZ and love the photos of Australia. Been to see your Grandad tonight with your Nana. We are going to the Barinda restaurant tomorrow night with G&H and looking forward to our curry and nan bread.

Liam says hi even though he also said hi to you on skype the other night and Richard is not here as he suddenly decided late on that he was going to Lauren's.

Make sure you keep safe.

Missing you both !!

Helloooo,

Love how you are making out that those nudist pictures wont be going in the album of treasured memories.

Mark did a skydive and the Ben Nevis bungee jump last week (check it out on you tube) I think its something Leanne might fancy. He is home on Wednesday, those three months have gone really quickly.

Mark has been to all the same places that me and Danny went, so looking forward to re-living the trip through your pictures from NZ. Make sure you do Franz Josef and get a Ferg burger in Queenstown.

Miss you lots and soooo jealous - the furthest we are going to get is Birmingham this weekend.

Take care.

Hi Guys

Looks like you have far too much sunshine!!! We have plenty of rain and wind which I'm sure you are missing.....Villa are performing badly under the new manager.....banks are still ripping us off and government are usual hot air. Think it's better where you guys are at least the sun shines all day .....

Love

Dad

Hi Rob & Lea,

You are certainly having a wonderful time in SYDNEY with the rest of my FAMILY; I am upto date with your Blogs and photos etc. The latest AUSTRALIAN photos are beautiful, but where is Uncle Tom ?

I expect you are all now preparing to celebrate Aunty Carols BIRTHDAY tomorrow. Hope, as usual, you will all have a very happy time.

At the moment, I am watching the MINERS RESCUE in CHILE. Out of 33 trapped MINERS, so far, 7 have been rescued.

Good luck to both of you, on your journey with Steve and Avril, to the BARRIER REEF, and look forward to seeing more photos !

Lots of love GOD BLESS.

Hi darlins glad u're having a nice time , u're both lookin well and it was nice chattin to you all - we didn't think that Bondi beach was that good as it was really crowded when we went so maybe that was why.

nothing much happenin here except us all getting stuck in a traffic jam today - the by pass got closed due to a chemical spillage and every1 came off in Cheadle Hulme and it was just 1 big traffic jam ! however we have had another bright sunny day which was nice . I've got through another day at work and on weds - the 13th i will have been there 1 whole month ! can u believe that - I can t ! anyway - enjoy u're week sightseeing and I'll speak to you hopefully before you jet set off with Steve & Avril

luv and hugs mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Rob & Leanne,

Glad you both are enjoying the comfort and happiness in the luxurious AUSTRALIAN HOME of Carol - my daughter, and, Tom, husband of Carol, - of course, my dear son-in-law !!!

Nice hearing you Rob on the 6th at Steves Birthday party. Leanne, as you did not visit me before you left the u.k.,I look forward to seeing you on your return.

When you are feeling fit and able, try walking over SYDNEY HARBOUR BRIDGE ! I did it three times with Carol, and never felt fitter - THEN !

Love, Grandma xx

Hey Liam and Rob

Just at HK airport now waiting for our flight back home to good old GB. Glad to see you are enjoying yourself in Sydney, sounds like you are having a great time and a bit more luxury than you had in China. Will speak to soon.

Love Mum, Dad, and Liam.
