Hi Leanne and Rob

Hope you are both well, sounds like you are having an amazing time. It's great to see the photos so please post some more. It feels a lot longer than a week since you left and since Richjard spends most of his time at Lauren's the house is pretty quiet.

Mum asks why you didn't have some of those skewered tarantulas as they sound really yummy - just a bit of sweet and sour sauce would do the trick.

Moira and Peter at St Annes were asking about you and were really interested when we were telling them about your trip.

Anyway, look after yourselves and stay safe. Looking forward to seeing you.

Love Mum and Dad XX.

Hi Rob & Leanne

How was the duck?

Getting ready for the trip to see the holy father in Birmingham tomorrow at the beatification mass. Off to guitar in a minute hope I can read all the notes.

Any 'plinky plonky' Chinese music concerts yet?

Haven't heard from Mike & Louise yet but I expect they are busy.

Get some pictures uploaded soon, we are dying to see some.

Much Love

Dad

Mr Walters

Hi Rob and Leanne,

Hope you are enjoying your tour with your GROUP ! The last time I visited CHINA MAINLAND was when I was on a Day Trip from HONGKONG, but only for a short time. It was a very long time ago -before you or your PARENTS were BORN. Hope you visit HONGKONG - a beautiful ISLAND ! Have fun and make lots of new friends. Looking forward to further updates from you both.

Love and God Bless, From GRANDMA XX

Hi Rob & Leanne

Keep on touring

Lots of Love

Dad
