Mum Liz Hi Martin Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Martin, happy birthday to you! Congratulations on being 23 today, have a lovely birthday in San Francisco, don't get lost on your visit to Alcatraz, some visitors who have went there never returned to the mainland, even after trying to swim back! Anyway have lovely time today, bet you won't forget this birthday, and see you in approx 6 weeks, whoopdeedoo! Mum & Dad xxx

Sarah Hey hey, hows it going? Sounds like you are having a hoot in Hollywood! Wouldnt mind bumping into Adam Sandler or Chris Rock myself! Though i must admit the David Hasselhoff star didnt really do it for me (even though Mitch is a Baywatch institution!). Hope your weather is braw, its been a tad dodgy over here, sunny one minute then pouring rain the next. If the washing machine hadnt broken then father would have been at his wits end trying to get his drying done! Gran is getting all the washing just now, so i am getting deliverys of freshly pressed clothes - its great!!! Off down the Acorn in 30 minutes for a well deserved refreshment, been run off our feet in here today. Hope yous have a nice weekend. Take care. Lots of love Sarah x
