You're not kidding you'll get a smacked bum when you get back, cheeky monkey! The kitchen is coming along ok, looks like we will be ordering in a couple of weeks & you'll be back just in time to witness the devastation before the renovation! You can of course help clean up..! Photos as usual look stunning. Not sure I want to see any of exotic beaches or too much sunshine.. or I'll get withdrawal symptoms. If you could find room for a tiny bit of sun that would be perfect. Leave the clothes behind! Tabs is ok & looking forward to alot of fuss when you get back. She's taking to howling a bit when I leave for work which is a pain and I'm sure not appreciated much by the neighbours! Well best do some work & hoping these last few weeks dont drag too much before we greet our 'intrepid explorer' @ Heathrow.. take care, keep safe & love xxxx

hi squimps, long time since you updated blog...we are dying to know what's happening over there.. I know it hasn't been easy to get to a computer, all this trekking, night bus journeys, 4x4 desert excursions, tough life eh? Would be good to see more of your expert photography. Maybe that should be the career..? Anyway, would be good to hear of your fantastics exploits just to keep us going in these extremely wintery conditions. We still have snow in the back garden. Not sure if Tabs has ventured out into it yet...! worrying! Take care darling, keep safe & look forward to some more 'long gringo' adventures. xxxx

Hi Vick i have just looked at your blog thingy seems like you had quite a time with mum and dad, glad they are coming home in one piece, you really should be more gentle with them you know. I have seen Gem and Lol a couple of times over Christmas which was lovely. I am going wedding dress shopping next saturday with Gem i think i am taking your place! no doubt you will help with the final selection, she sure scrubs up well and looks fab in white. As always Vic look after your self be careful as there are some stinky weid people around. Keep having fun and enjoying yous self. Lots of love and a happy new year. Auntie Lel. xxx

hellooooo you, just another quick email as I've just sent one.... As Kate has said the surfing piccies are brill. You do look pretty good but where are the ones of the instructors...I bet they were even more tastie...! So what is the next stop? Are you on Fraser yet? Make sure the dingos dont run off with your undies...! France was brilliant by the way but probably not as hot as you getting in Oz. Have decided I definitely need sunshine to survive so will be on the next flight out. Where shall we meet...? loads of love mx

Hay v, ive sent u an email but trhought id post on here too...ur surfing pics are uber cool! You look like such a pro? Was it easy/hard? Hope ur ok hunnie, missing u loads xxxxxxxxx

Hey Vics hope all is going well as you progress up the East Coast. Photos are ace, especially the surfing dude ones...u look like you were enjoying it! I thought u said u weren't bothering with the surfing...bet ur glad u did now!

We are having relaxing time en france (apart from struggling with keyboard with letters in wrong places!). Lovely weather here, just been asleep in sun!

Keep us updated on the progress...love to see the piccies too. Love ya loads.

Gem, Andy, Mum & Dad xxx

So the move up the Oz coast has begun. You'll be fine, just think of all that glorious sunshine you'll be soaking up along the way. Surfing, diving, snorkeling... whilst we've got grey, rainy days ahead! Mentally, I shall transport myself across the seas to your sunshine. Have fun, loads of love mx

hey you, another great blog which has me sighing, crying & laughing almost at the same time! You are a pretty keen writer & definitely seem to have the knack with words - well done you! The photos of Oz are pretty cool too (is this Rich's influence?). the sunsets with Bridge & Opera house (or Opear as you have renamed it) look stunning. I may have to redo my desktop at work. Good to speak to you. Happy travels darling. love mx
