Woo hoo....can you believe it....its a whole year since we jetted off at the start of our trip!!! We can't believe how quickly its gone by...luckily we've got a load of more adventures on their way!!

We are busy packing up the flat today, which is weird, feels like we are off all over again so we are pretty excited....then we are going out for a celebratory slap meal tonight before catching the boat across the river for a week in Uruguay....

Some pie fans out there may be interested to know that we will be paying a visit to a town called Fray Bentos...where the actual pies where made.....we have even been led to believe there is a guided tour round the meat factory!!!

Love to everyone...! xx

hallo both - I thought that your last lot of pictures were the best yet Beunos Aires looks quite a sophisticated city -so suitable for acouple of cosmopolitans !wet here we both drove through floods last night and took two hours. to get home.
love dad.

Hey, how are you two!? its been ages since ive been on here. I was reminded by it as i was sending an e-mail to a friend of mine who has goen to work in an orphanage in nepal or tibet i cant remeber which. She almost hasyou beat for adventurous spirit...but not quite.

Not too much goin on down here, Both me and Alex have exams. Mum is using the excuse of her work to fly off to Istanbul for a week and thats is really.

Hey, what's this sum thingy - just spent ages posting it a message to have it wiped out because I didnt know I had to do it (well, that's better than admitting I can't add up).

Anyway, have now wasted most of my lunch hour, so this message will be brief - any sign of the packages yet - one small parcel, one larged padded envelope and one A4 envelope? You most definiitely CANNOT leave before they arrive - so Debbie may get her wish for a longer stay.

Saw Matt Jane and Max last weekend - Max is TEN this saturday.

Give us a call. Love M/D

Hi there ...

 Am tempted to have a peek at the wedding events myself, despite not knowing them!  Tee hee!!  I have also exciting news .... I went for a new job (very stressful, had to teach a lesson to a bunch of strange kids and the have an interview with 5 people!! Eeeek!  However, I got it (or it wouldn't be very exciting news!) So I am leaving my only ever teaching job and starting afresh getting paid more to do a much easier job!! hurrah for me!!  Will indeed post you something exciting while you are grounded somwhere!!  Also Mark did VERY well at his first full ironman competition in Lanzaraote last weekend, he came 11th in his age group and was fourth out of the water (over 1000 competitors) so a brilliant effort for a first ever competition, now I am forcing him to enter lots of other comps to win us lots of money!!  tee hee!

Dear Emigrants. Are you planning on signing on in Buenos Aires?

Well done for your swanky abode. Which one of your London homes feels more shabby? 

Has Tim losts his arms? I'm expecting an e-mail. Here hoping he's managed to lose that Manchester hat.

Rampant Regards

Edible & Jane  

Hurrah...finally we have moved into our apartment in Buenos Aires...it is super swanky and quite frankly makes our home in London look a touch shabby!!!! Have already stocked the fridge with goodies, loaded the cupboard with fine wine and checked the status of the cable TV....so we´ve slipped back into our old lives with complete ease!

So if you´re quick....you can post us all the presents that are storing up or a postcard from home would be ace....we are here for 5 weeks....

Apartment 13, 4 piso, Humboldt 2377, Palermo Hollywood, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Plus for those of you with more news than will fit on a Fortnum and Mason hamper gift tag...you can call or skype us on 0054 11 4770 9040....

Missing you all....love deb and tim x

Blow me...your photos are amazing! Stay away for as long as possible, being back is over-rated! And the weather sucks. Have no exciting news - the search for an eligible gentleman continues, as does the search for a career move which will lead to my eventual world domination in my chosen field.

Email soon please, my luvverlies...

My Name is Michelle .I am lame and disgusting and completely not worthy of the roving reporter title.. Never make a journalist in a millions years. Yes I can talk the hind legs off a Donkey and for Britain...but am ashamed of my performance.!!!!

 Sorry you guys no  excuse but have been run ragged by the job of keeping the nation in houses and trying to train to three trainees!!!! please come home Debs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel like I am exhausted by the lack of common sense... what is with the youngsters of today.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad is well.Thanks for the postcard it was great to get something traditional.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will email soon I promise but the other Bairstow eves Ite has desearted me for the shores of Ireland and left me with the rabble ..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love and Miss you ..

Aside from Mrs Blake´s much more exciting news....in lame comparison....we went paragliding today!!! It was wicked and I didnt cry once (unlike yesterday when I wailed like a child at the top of a mountain shortly before abseiling down it...oh the shame!) We were flying like birds at around 1500 m, well birds strapped into nifty little chairs.....pretty cool....although it was somewhat unnerving being ordered to run off a mountain!!

Tomorrow we are catching the overnight bus to Buenos Aires where we move into a swanky apartment (we are looking at one with a hottub on the terrace!!!)all by ourselves....hurrah...no more crazies or snorers in our dorms...and we get a phone and cable TV and everything....will post our address for any gifts that are waiting to be sent!!!

Meanwhile hi Bev...gutted we missed your birthday bash....we´ll get together for the next one eh? This is a mare btw now I have way too many message boards to check!!!! Hi Melinda...how you doin´ with all the Cornish? We are stuffing our faces with loads of things called empanadas....which are basically just very very small pasties...hmmmmmm! And where is my roving reporter......come in Bairstow Eves, your time is up.....

Love to y´all, Deb and Tim xxx

PS Good luck to people with miserable exams soon.....fingers and toes crossed.....Ross, Tom, Bex, Alex and Charlie....!!
