Hi all,

Hope everyones dried out after your 40 days and 40 nights of rain!! Hehehe! We are in Bolivia and have had a mentalist busy time....Spent my birthday 60 metres freaking out down a silver mine shaft while Tim played with lit dynamite, froze our arses off despite cuddling our makeshift water bottle hot water bottles on the salt flats at minus 20 degrees and waded through the Pampas hunting anacondas smothered in 100% deet mossie spray in plus 30 heat!!! All crazy fun! Meanwhile we are hot on the heels of the Blue Peter team who we keep missing by one day....we just spotted an airport luggage handler in the jungle sporting the elusive badge...

In other news, we are finally back to working on our tans again as we get closer to the equator, steak has been removed from our daily diet and replaced with pirahna, a rabbit cum squirrelly beast and llama and we survived a flight in the smallest plane ever with just 19 seats!

Anyhoos, keep us updated with all your news and gossip....Hope the birthday party was a riot! Love and kisses xxxx

Hi, It's last Sunday afternoon again - have enjoyed the latest photos, though some look decidedly like a guerilla training camp - cant quite decide on the temperature there - you seem to be either muffled up to the eyebrows or wearing T-shirts?

Off to Walberswick next Saturday with Max - summer has arrived, so keeping our fingers crossed that it might last more than a few days.

Guess it has to be Pimms tonight rather than g & t.

Happy birthday Debbie-sorry a bit late.Alls well in not so sunny Cornwall--You are of course invited to Charlie's 18th party in August --you could just pop over -you know we put on a good party in Penzance!!with our lovexxx

Hi Debbie,

Wishing you a very Happy Birthday - Tim has just had two wins on the P Bonds (£50 each) in the same post, so he has no excuse not to buy you a slap-up meal.

Peter is very excited, as he has just learned how to view your videos!

Have fun, xxx

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Debbie, Happy Birthday to you!!!! ( Thomas sang that all by himself!!)

Hi both, have spent half hour catching up on the photos and blogs - loved the snowy ones. I am perfecting my pizza skills, to merit the honour of being named as a pizza star.

Late Sunday afternoon, after a week of culture! Thaxted festival, concert in St. Paul's cathedral, and by contrast a concert last night in the church in Litttle Bardfield. Phew - need a rest - will be watching a version of Strictly Come Dancing tonight, to compensate!

Seeing Matt, Jane and Max/Lou and Mark next weekend, hoping for Pimms in the garden - will have one for you (or even two).

Lots of love. xx

Hi,

Just an update, as we´ve slipped a little on the photo uploads, but will catch up soon. Aparently theres wifi on the buses in Bolivia - will believe it when i see it! Having a great time skiing, onto blue runs now, woo hoo, and with only a smattering of bruises and a few more aching muscles to show for our progress.

Doing a double whammy of 20hr bus journies soon to get us to Salta, north Arg, the into Bolivia. So will update you all on the witches market and the effect of Coca leaves when we get there!! X

Have just mailed over some new contact sheet files. Will do some more tomorrow.
