hey guys keeping up with your blogs, sure you're having a crazy time despite the illnesses!!! get some more pics on here ASAP (i know how annoying they are to load up but...)!!! love seeing where we have both been and where i didnt get to visit!!! stay safe and enjoy love jen xxxxxxxxx

Hi , please can you send me a proper itinary for rest of your gap travel as you have only left me flight details and I would like to know your travel AND in country details lol MUM

Michael,
Did you get the text I sent you. I don't really want to call your mobile as it will cost you a fortune as well as me. If you get chance please send me an e-mail or something. XX

Hope you are both feeling a bit better after the weekend and losing all your photo's. Keep your chins up as you will have loads more photo's before you are finished and although it is something you can never replace you will always have the memories in your mind. Hope you are still enjoying Laos, it sounded lovely when I spoke to you, much better than your experiences in parts of India. Poor Sophia she will not want to see her walking boots ever again............hours of walking after a lifetime of sofa's and soaps must be exhausting. It sounds worth all the excercise just for the amazing experiences your are having though. Have you both lost or are losing the weight you wanted to or is the cheap booze counteracting all the hard work? And Michael, I agree with Carol..........you can't miss a shopping experience..........and a woan can never have too many clothes ior too much jewellry!!! What is this need thing? I don't understand....................everyone needs clothes.............especially if they shop at Primark as they fall to pieces after a few weeks anyway!!!
Going to bed now anyway. Croft was very good on sunday until it started raining and then it wasn't much fun being in a t-shirt in a downpour...........but you will know better than us about that! Take care. Loads of love. missing you both. XXXX Mum

More news. The stone budda in the garden has been stolen! It weighed a ton so they must have had a get away car. Dad is so annoyed too as it was a birthday present ages ago , but good new so far they have left the dog by your door. Rosie has her first training day at Dunns stores today Love Mum

Hi sophie and Michael, ah ha then does the spider experience mean I do not need to treat the basement before you get back - somehow how I think not - been having my own mini monsoon when the hose pipe soaked me watering the plants! We have chopped the big fir tree back at the front door so no more wet coats on way in , looks like a tall tree now with a tall trunk . Love you loads Mum

Michael, of course Sophie bought clothes in Bangkok.... doesnt everybody even if they dont NEED them! Didnt you?

Anyway we are pleased you are having fun and more relaxing moments now you are in Thailand. I know what you mean by the extrreme wealth next to the very poor... doesnt seem right to me. looking forward to the next instalment

All sounds great you too. I agree with Sophie you just need new clothes sometimes, anyhow you can leave behind , probably be way too cold for here. Those fake bags look naff anyhow . Can't wait for news on Veitnam . do keep us posted at least weekly , cannot help being a mum and need to know were you are. Had a quiz night at church, may repeat later in the year when you get back as a pub quiz at the club. If you are reading this Christine and Colin, hopefully you might want to make up a team! Having a stall at Kirkstall festival July 11th, you know me. Just raised enough ( £355) for two saturation monitors to bring with us in October . Love you take care as always Mum

Oi you two, not heard anything from you in a while...how are things and where are you now?
missing you both lots. Managed (just) to get myself a job finally, at Dunnes. I think mum is very happy sophie, possible discounts etc!!! Tom has gone now so thats a bit weird, been to brussels and is in amsterdam now i think. Not exactly gone smoothly but didnt expect anything different!
anyway, hpe your having a nice time, more pics and blogs please.
love you x

Hya you too.
Love all the pictures. Delhi looks a bit of a dump apart from a few fantastic buildings. Hope you are enjoying yourselves and whereever you are at the moment. I have lost track with you leaving India earlier than planned. Do let us know where you are at the moment please then I can track you again. Weather here gone from 26 degrees to 16 degrees in space of a day............feels freezing!! Not much to report, having a quiet weekend as shattered and it raining anyway. May be going to Croft next weekend for the Touring Cars which will be fun.

Loved the photos, keep em comming. Shame about the feet and the naughty pipe though. Keep being careful whilet still enjoying the experience. Looking forward to seeing you in KL in august. Love Colin

great photos, explain the outfits, did you have to but them? you both look extremely hot in them!! love Mum
