Hi there, Glad you're having such a great time. It sounds like you made some really good friends on your trek which is nice (I'm guessing your pretty bored of Jim by now!)
You're off to calififornia next aren't you? I'm sure you'll enjoy it there and might be able to catch a bit of the world cup startng on friday. World cup fever has taken over In-ger-land and suddenly we're world beaters, even Peter Crouch is the new cult hero!!

Still really busy at home. Zack's room is finished but the little room looks like it needs plastering (not my fault honestly!)

Zack's talking is really coming on now, he can tell you his name if you ask him which is great. He can also say bumble bee but his favourite is no or oh no. Very funny.

Emily is struggling on, she has four weeks left at work but has found this pregnancy alot more painful than last time and now hay fever has set in!

Sorry I havent been able to write sooner, just really busy at the moment, I'm writing this in my lunch hour.

Take care, love Nick, Em & Zack xxx

Hello you two. It's been ages since I looked at the photgraphs and am amazed at the amount of stuff you are seeing and doing. I have stood in the same place on the ice at Lake Louise so I know that the scenery is spectacular. I bet you are looking forward to going somewhere warm. It's my brithday soon and I have bought a sparkly dress and everything I will get someone who knows how to work a digital camera to take some photos and send them to your e mail address. You are missing Big Brother but I can see that Sarah is keeping you up to date.

WAAAAA HAHAHAHAHAHAHA- am crying with laughter at the 'looking sexy' pic! Cant get the image of the German man in speedos out of my head!!! hahahahahahaha (Jim Looking Good, NOT!) hahahahahahaha
Any way now to the important stuff - Big Brother!
Its like a hotel - 3 people have walked and its only the second week! I think they should take everyone out and start again.
World Cup- our work are doing a competition where every team in here have adopted a team in the world cup, we got Italy! Best dressed team and pod win money for a nite out, I have emailed all the PR companies we deal with for Italia freebies. So far i have received a box of Galaxy chocolate bars ( i know they have nothing to do with Italy but they are free!) every time our team plays in the world cup we have to play the team in work at table top football ( me with my competitive streak i have visions of Monica in Friends!) ill keep you updated. take care xxx

Just enjoyed looking at the brilliant pictures of Chicago. I liked the giant crash helmet and the corn cob buildings, it looks great. Sounds as if you have really enjoyed your camping in Canada and the pictures make it look like a real commune with nature and very peaceful. it must be sad to have had to break up the party, but sounds like a terrific experience. We have just been to Henley on Thames today similar but different!

Hi again,
How are you both, survived the camp & bears I hope!
Football- Barnsley promoted to Championship beat Swansea on penalties. Cheltonham beat Grimsby 1-0, to div 1. Hereford beat Halifax penalties to div 2.
just as I think, peace and can watch what I want, World cup, no peace for the wicked! England are to play Hungary tonight, so I'll give you result next time.
Love to you both Kath

Thanks Sim & Jim

Seems like you two are having an amazing time. Starting to get properly jealous! The beautiful town of Reading really doesn't compare to the Candian Rockies. Although I think it comes a close second. Pleased to hear that you have bought a mug Jim, I just hope that you purchase one in every country that you visit. Keep the tradition alive!!!!! You two take care and i will be in touch soon.
P.S just changed the tills at work will be sure to give you an update on how they work.
