Nice to hear from you on my B day had a good time in Spain albeit a little bit of hard work along with the relaxation, meant to ask you on the phone when you rang what you thought of the killing feild trip you were going on, interesting? or just a tourist thing?

You also said that you were going to some temples etc so would like to hear about that too

Q the photos on the web site can they be downloaded at a high res or is that only something you can do?

Love to the pair of you

dad

Your blogs are very factual. Tell something about the people. How do the women do the laundry, shop for dinner etc. And have you tried any nightlife?

What about places where people smoke grass? Or is that a bit of a rumour?

Grandpa and I are hirpling on. He had a nasty fall coming back from Tesco and bled all over dinner. I'm so stiff I need an oilcan, but am making do with a stick and paracetamol. Hmm. I need some fun.

Hello everyone

We are in Cambodia by the beach. Benn abit slack on the blog but i will get on the case soon i promise. Glad you like the flowers mum and i hope you hade a lovely day. Well done to ben and tom! Anna say hi to the girls for me hope you all ok. XXXX

Hey guys!

Not read an update in a while so get on the case please! Not really any news this end, I started a new job on monday and already hate it which isn't the best of signs so its a toss up between being unemployed again or sticking this out for a while- hmmmm. Still exceptionally jealous of you guys, this working lark is pure hell! Meeting up with the girls tomorrow for a catch up dinner as dont think we've done anything all together since sarah's birthday! Anyway keep enjoying yourselves and I look forward to an update SOON! x x

Hiya Jenny-wren

Thank you soo... much for the lovely mothers day flowers. They were absolutely beautiful and came in a glass vase. They were a real surprise too; didn't even think you would realise it was mothers day!

We had a really nice day at Ben & Sarah's. Ben cooked a lovely roast dinner (with a little help from Dad) and Tom and Sarah's brother Rob did the washing up - wonders will never cease!

Well honey keep having good times and keep posting the blogs.

Take care, love you lots - love to Sean too.

I've found one pic of you Jen and you look very pretty AND healthy and so does Sean. Furthermore he is turning into a gymnast - all that trapeze work - brilliant.

I've been so lost in your pics I forgot to let Tyggy in and finally heard him barking like mad. It's nearly 11pm and all our neighbours are asleep. I will not win any popularity prizes.

Your mum and Sheila are coming over tomorrow and grandpa is taking us out to lunch. I hope I can go. My RA is terrible at the moment and I can hardly use my hands. I can type tho'.

Keep the merry-go-round turning

Hey Jen & Sean,

Just been having a nose at all of your great photos. It looks like you are both having an amazing time. I can't believe you guys have been away over a month now. Theres not much going on back home. I'm going to start a degree in Midwifery in March for 18 months, i'm currently unemployed till then. Not complaining though! Gives me more time to catch up on the Prison Break I missed last year. We went out for Sarah's birthday the other week which was fun and thats about as exciting as it gets.

Anyway, keep having fun!

Love Mad xxx

Hi Jen, Hi Sean, just a quick hello as i missed you on skype the other day. Your pics all look good wish i was on a lasy river right now its bloody freezing over here!

this blog things is great not only am i getting to hear what your doing but i now know a lot more about your grans hectic life too! she has more of a life then me!!

well stan says hello although its more of an 'O' then hello.

speak soon xxxx

Nobody visiting us tomorrow even if it is Friday. We could do with some of the company you're having. If it's a nice day I might go out and look in shop windows. And perhaps spend money.

Tonight I was at the WI and won the raffle, a nice potted - och now I've forgotten its name but it has lovely pink and white flowers. Must try to keep it alive.

Sure you're still enjoying it out there?

Hey jen and sean,

We thought it was about time we sent you another message! What can we say - its bloody freezing back here - you really dont know what your missing! I'm glad you got round to putting up more photos we like to sit and look at all your fun pictures - i must say its obviously doing you a world of good as you look so relaxed and happy! How are you finding the travelling and the hostels, i imagine your used to it all now!

We went out all together for sarahs birthday a couple of weeks back - we went wine tasting - i know you two would have loved it! By the end of the evening i was feeling a tad tipsy - and ended up smashing my wine glass on the floor! its not good mixing your drinks like that!

It feels strange just looking at your pictures knowing we're not going to see you for another year - you've done loads already, just imagine the memories you will have in a years time!

speak to you soon

take care

love nat and sam

ps sean - as soon as you left, i bought a smart car with the gearbox hanging out of it! and my old mate sean isnt around to help me out, can you talk me thro taking it out step by step! please. just kidding, sam

This is looking more like one long holiday not backpacking

oh and I see grans at it again theres no stopping her is there

take care

love dad

The two of you are obviously having a lovely time, romantic too by the sound of it. Were you afraid when you went off in the wrong direction. To me that's getting lost and terrifying.

I took Nicky, George's mum, out for lunch today and had a real good time. She and I get on fine. She needed to have a good moan about someone who shall remain nameless, but once she got that off her chest I enjoyed talking to her.

Grandpa had his visit to Harlow hospital today and it all went well so he got home early and caught me with the milkman.

Think I'll get off to bed before I think up worse.

Take care you two

ps I see your mum is giving you grammar lessons. Your spelling isn't the best, but it's got your personal touch to it. Keep on writing the diary. That is the important thing to do.
