Oh my goodness Poppet! For goodness sake, what a performance you had to go through to get yourself there! Just stay with your Westerner buddies.....lock up your essentials well, and keep your PASSPORT AND MONEY CARD SAFE...WHREVER? Be glad when your'e out of this wierd place, although I know you will just put it down to part of the experience, that is what it is all about, but PLEASE go everywhere with great care and keep your eyes in the back of your head, because you know that they are so very poor there and won't think twice about getting a few bob!!! Apart from us worrying about your safety...it is the weeeeeing over your feet that has kept those jelly fish and insects at bay!!! SO TYPICAL ROSIE POSIE...I think Mum will agree that you never USED to wee on your feet, everywhere else, maybe. Ha ha ha. Speak soon. God Bless, proud of you sweet-heart. Au Revoir...as Grandad would say to you, always...never goodbye! x.x.x from Gum, me and the 2 Marley's in our lives. Went to see the film yesterday. Marley & Me......ooooooh sooooo sad, but funny for first part of film...Steve won't even go to see the film after...the book, whick is much better than film anyway! He is in Germany soon for a couple days, with work. Skype, then. x x x x LOVE YOU OODLES AND NOODLES!! We expect some darned good cooking tips when we see you next. You can come and ENTERTAIN us, for a change! Hmmmm, just about to go and cook ROAST CHICKEN!! I joke...just a tease!!! I will try and put as much SUGAR in as possible as I know that you have a passion for this...NOT!!!! P.S. JUST GO EVERYWHERE WITH CAUTION AND of course no alcohol whilst in this part of Cambodia....move on a.s.a.p. to " nice" people, who will be kind to Rosie Posie...not fair on you...but I hope that you have got a photo of yourself in a tuk-tuk.......BLESS YOU!.xxxxxx

All I can say is Wowza!!!!!! Sorry I've not had a chance to post anything sooner, things have been crazy for me but I'm all caught up on all your blogs now and I'm so so proud and happy that you are having such a good time.

Some of your stories has had me in complete stiches! I mean making bracelets in a random womans house with a random rabbit and gerbal on the table, making little boys fall in love with you within hours, drinking out of buckets, meeting randoms and partying!!! And there's plenty more adventures to come your way!!!!

Just enjoy every day and experience to the fullest - sounds like this trip couldn't have been a better idea for you!

Have a good nights sleep and suggest you wear mask in Cambodia if your cough gets worse. You will be o.k. when you get there and if not then..you don.t have to stay there! You have the rest of your trip and you will have a fab time in Oz and N.Z. and a tan that will never wash off!!! Hope you have total sun block at the ready Poppet!.
P.S. You look stunning! Pretty as a picture, loving the plaited fringe!xx Unc Gum & Aunty R in cold ZUMMERSET!!!

Hi Rosie, lovely to speak to you yesteray, it was a lovely surprise. You sounded so close even though you are so far away. Stay safe, love Janice x x x

Poppet, you are just over a fortnight into your ...travels and you have done more than we ever thought possible. Those nasty big bites look so darned painful and as you said they had a huge Boots in Bankok, I reckon you sould go and pile up on some deterrant or ANY sort!!! Buy some more waxed earplugs as the best ones are there own make, which are probably much cheaper over there! £2.99. for small box in Taunton!!! There is nothing else to say except, please, before you go off anywhere, let one of ur buddies know exactly where you are. I just wish that you could take someone as a pal. Cannot wait to hear where you are after this extraordinary first part is now coming to an end. I think you have made some children....very happy and they certainly were some lucky boys & girls for a week of their lives! YOU ALREADY - HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE IN THERE WORLD! You have to now go and have a blast...do whatever YOU want, just stay safe and in contact with us all. You are doing a grand job with all your photos and posting all the interesting blogs. Good girl, Unc and Aunty are as proud as punch! Stay alert in that big place. Bangkok looks exciting for youngsters..sheer nightmare for Ron and the heat would see me off! Just keep getting that water down you and speak soon. We love you, Steve and Ron.xx
