What a lovely family you've got Ryan. I'm counting the days too - 144 gone, 159 to go, trip 47.52% complete.

Keep enjoying yourself, keep your eye out, stay safe.

Hi Bro,

Sorry it has taken so long for me to read your blog, but it was worth the wait, very entertaining as usual! I especially liked my email today about your cheese and cracker picnic on the beach, it made me laugh out loud!

Sending you all my love and safe thoughts, Barrie and the kids say Hi.

Counting the days xx

Hi Ry,

Hope you are well.

I am just off to visit Paul; he had an Octreoscan yesterday and is having another today. Hopefully we will have some results soon.

Love you very much

Love the latest blog Ry. And great to chat yesterday. Stay away from those pesky little Tasmanian devils while you're down there eh?

Keep going!

Hi Ry,

How is the blogger extarordinaire doing?Hope that both you and Ciara are doing well.

We have had a massive amount of snow, over the last week, but nowhere near as much as the UK!

It is very picturesque but lethal on the roads, as we discovered when we went for Paul's appointment with the GP yesterday. Following recent tests, it now looks extremely likely that Paul has a malignant cancer; we are off to see a professor in Limoges on Wednesday and our GP says that with this type of carcinoid tumour surgery will be necessary.

That will mean that Paul will have had five operations in just over two years.

Sorry that this news is so depressing but I thought that you would want to know what's going on. Please make the most of all your opportunities but remember to STAY SAFE!

Much Love

HAPPY NEW YEAR RYAN AND CIARA,hope you celebrated it well!

Much Love

You really should be a travel writer and presenter for T.V.Your writing is very conversational in style and your photos are pretty good too!
Carry on having a lovely time with Ciara and have a very happy Christmas.
Love you lots

Your photography is almost as good as your writing, not sure that Ciara would agree though taking shots of the poor girl asleep!
