You both look as though you had a great time at the party. Good to see some nice shots of you together amongst the others. Chilling today before Ko Phi Phi then. Then another journey. Hard life isn't it? But a hell of a lot better than over in the UK at the moment. A little snow and everything comes to a halt. Hope to see and hear you over the Xmas break. Love to you both and keep safe. xxxxx

Hi Kie and Soph, was good to all be together when we Skyped and opened our gifts that you had sent. You put a lot of thought into them and the postcards had us all a bit teary eyed. We have decided that we are going to celebrate out Christmas again in April when you get back :) and promise this time I won't announce everyone as if you have never met before ha ha. Dolf kept repeating 'aww bless them' all through the day. I'd be rich if I had collected a pound each time she said it. Nan is off up town shopping today with Dolf think they must be getting my present and its obviously big because its going to take two to carry it ;) At 5.30am this morning it was -11 in Bugbrooke with about 2/3 inches of snow. Think theres a lot more to come too, see what your missing!! Roads are really bad, Dane is stuck up Pattishall and has to walk home at 8.30am as nan won't drive the back roads as they are lethal, boy will he be an angry bunny when he gets here. Well im off to build my snowman. Take care love to you both stay safe x x

I've got to hand it to you guys, the sacrifices you make each day to stay in those tropical paradises. Must be a hard on you. Some great photis yet again. And to see you both holding snakes and baby crocs. Didn't fancy putting your head inside the mouth of the larger croc then. haha. Impressed that you didn't fancy bringing the baby croc home with you Sophie. Well take it easy on the next island as the Full Moon Parties are quite large. Love to you both and keep safe. xxxxxx

Dear Sophie, It was lovely to hear your voice at the weekend... I wondered where you have been for the last two months. Just seen your pics and see you have been trying to catch fish for me... yum! But you are taking a long time to bring them home! Keep safe, love xxx

Hi Kie and Sophie, once again you have posted some lovely pics, the underwater shots are amazing. Pity Kie didnt get any pics of him Scuba Diving, The offer is still there if you want to do it again, this time with Sophie taking part. It was good to see Sophie on Skype doing her daily fitness programme (even if it was in her pants) ha ha. Its Dolfs 70th birthday today so we are off out for a meal tonight. Will have a couple of drinks for you both (hic!!!) Love you loads, take care, stay safe x x

Eat your heart out Jacques Cousteau!! What excellent underwater shots you took, and what memories you will both have of your day snorkeling. Dare I say a lot better than the temple shots. Most exercise that you had so far isn't it Sophie? I see that your mother has updated you on the humdrum news from the UK - how exciting! Well love to you both and keep safe. xxxxxxx

Hello Sophie and Kie,

Love the latest album, especially the underwater shots... Polly has left a message on the album comments! Great to speak to you on Saturday too. Just to keep you updated on events here... thought you'd like to know Sophie that Matt Cardle won XFactor and Matt Baker, Pamela Stephenson and Kara Tointon are in the finals of Strictly! That's as exciting as it gets haha! Lots of love, keep safe and don't get too burned. xxx

Ha ha love it Kate.... Thanks for the post card Kie and Soph, its always great to hear from you, even though we talk loads on Skype, we can keep the post cards as a reminder of how jammy you two are. I am defo up for the idea of a calendar. Kate maybe you and I could set up a stall somewhere selling their memorabilia and make some pennies ;) ha ha. It's nice to now have an idea of where you are at any given time now so thanks for sending us your plan of action. Keep up the photography and the blogs its all amazing stuff. Take care, love to you both x x

BOO!!!! Couldn't resist x

Right-brain thawed out now so I can be sensible!! Thanks for the postcard from Cambodia-recieved it today. You will need to look out for extra large postcards-like you say,just writing all our names takes up half the space!! Just abbreviate to K,T,M,M,E and R!!! I am always impressed though Sophie with how much you manage to cram on! The girls were pleased to get it and want to see on a map where you are. You are helping with their geography no end!!

You can get calendars and all sorts made now from pictures can't you-I'll put an order in for a calendar on your return!

I loved your recent post on facebook asking who was going to be in Oz and NZ with Kie piping up that he was-YOU FOOL KIE-you make ME laugh!!

Anyway,will try to make this the only message.

Take care and lots of love to you both

Katie and the troops XxxxxX

Ha ha you do make us laugh Katie, your messages always seem to come in threes!! It's ok, we'll put this one down to brain freeze!!

Yes we have managed to get some rather lovely photo's - perhaps we can make a bit of money when we're home by selling them ha ha ha. In all seriousness we already have some orders (Sharon) on a few photo's she'd like printed out! And we are planning on getting lots done as well as printed onto canvas!

Love to all. Love you lots xx
