'Ickle Id Yo Stevie & Sharon Have read your latest blog with great envy. Sounds idyllic. Glad to hear you are both doing ok and still enjoying yourselves.

Keep enjoying it whilst it lasts and we look forward to welcoming you home safe and sound soon. Love n Hugs Liddy. xx

Alison Eastwood Hey finally got round to posting-was still getting over the excitement of you both joining facebook! Great to read about your experiences and adventures....even if whilst looking out over a grey, wet Colne Valley. Really glad you liked laos, billy pleased too. His friend Mark married a laos lass and they live in Carlise so we still get a bit of the laos experience every now and then as she's a great cook. Mind you, she did suggest (in a very serious stylie) that Markget a dog tooth put in when his tooth fell out so avod the laos dentist if you can ha ha. Great to see you looking well and sounding happy. Are you heading to Ankor Wat??? where will you be on xmas day???-excuse for a 5 star hotel treat me thinks..wish we were there-still hoping to be off to spain in spring, but if we're gone before your back, you'll just have to come out and stay to recouperate...have a ball and keep the great stories comming.lots of love, Al n billy ps try the laos fried rivermoss..sounds grim, tastes great-if a bit salty sea dog chops!!
