Hi Tara, well you are nearly home, and will soon be on home turf. Your stew and dumpling's will be waiting for you. Your mum told me what you had tried to eat in Beijing well done for trying, but I would not have been able to do it.

Did Sophie's uncle make you your Sausage and Mash,Ha ha I had to laugh about the Trifle, I bet it was good.

Well take care as allways our hugs kisses and our Love to you, our darling granddaughter, see you very soon. your Pal and Momma xxxxxxxxxxxx

Hiya Sweetheart. I bet you thought we'd got lost as we haven't sent a message for a while. You must have thought we'd forgotten you - no chance! Mum tells us that you're getting homesick. Never mind this time next week you'll nearly be home. We're all waiting to greet you. It seems so long. Hopefully now that you are in Beijing - different place, different scenery - it will help you to get through your remaining time away. Missing you loads. Can't wait to see you again. Have a safe journey home and we'll all be waiting impatiently. Lots of love & hugs Nan, Grandad & Co..............XXX

Hi there. We have so much to say to you but the main thing is that we are all glad you are still having fun and that we can't wait until you get home and can tell us all about your travels in person. Sounds like you had a few traumas in Airlie Bay but you're a tough cookie. I bet you've never come across anyone else quite like the Russian "dragon" in the hostel! Soon you'll be moving on to New Zealand - one step nearer to you coming home to us. We are tracking you every single mile of the way. Just take care. Have fun. It's an experience that a lot of people will never ever have so treasure every minute. Love you lots. xxxxx

Take care as allways our Love Grandad Momma xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
