It was great to meet up with you on the first part of your journey and have such a fun with the husky dogs. Then the crazy russian lady on the train and the ice(cold) festival in Harbin. Have a wonderful time and don't loose too much - I will be following your blog.

Tottenham humiliate a*******s as they win Carling Cup semifinal second leg WAIT FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5:1.
And the excuse that this was a second team is undermined by the appearnces of the likes of Gallas, Hleb, Gilberto, Fabregas, and also Adebayor for most of the second half. Tottnham dominated the whole game with the a*******s creating almost no chances.

Hello! Jake has started walking - all by himself........yeah! x

Hi Team Tolland,

Husky dog racing that sounds uber fun, I would love to do that!! I bet you two looked the part with your jackets on zipping across the Artic tundra!!

Loved the story about the crazy 80 year old Russian woman and the kerfuffle with your tickets at the railway station, Shu - had that been me I would have been in tears forcing the Toblerone to sort it all out!

So glad about the flat.

Stay cool you crazy kids.

Sorry - bit of a boring message but I received a letter from Royal Mail stating that your re-direction wasn't going to start until 23rd Jan - you might want to get the mail that is at the flat sent to me? x
