Hi gem, Hi wes,

You are both looking really well I am jealous of your tans as we have not had much sun. I have done some decorating at the new house so I have told kerry to start looking for the next house!!!

The midwife came this morning and kerry is fine..........kerry is now twelve and a half weeks pregnant

I will look forward to the next installment on the blog.

Ian and Kerry xxx there is a kiss from the 3 of us

Hi Wes, Hi Gem,

nice to see some more photos. News from home: Not much really. Trish's wedding was really good; nice and informal. Geri and I lasted till about 1ish, but the serious partiers (Grah & Carly) managed about 5. Got all the speeches on video, so it'll be just like you were there.

Apart from Leoni's party last Sat, and Trish & Pete's wedding this Sat, it has rained all week. We went to the Stratford races on sunday for Nancy's birthday, the weather held (just). Our luck wasn't up to much - won 60p on the last race!! Back to work today, headache from Sat night finally went at lunchtime today - more rain. You are not missing much, apart from us, of course.

Anyway, we'll catch up again soon. Lots of Love, Dad and Gig xx

hi both, sorry its been so long we have just got back from javea. we had a lovely time was really hot. loads of lovely steaks in aqua restaurant. ollie did a spot of fishing with a five euro fishing rod which had a massive hook, we bought some spam but the hook was so big there wasnt a stupid enough fish to go for it!!! we also went to denia one evening to watch the bulls running through the streets then into an arena which ended up with the bulls falling into the sea!!! i think they got them out but we left before then. we went to waterparks which is a must when you go on holiday en it! we both went up the steps to the big slide but i got bit scared and looked like a right idiot walking back down!!! the rest of the time was spent sunbathing and just chillin. has been good to read up on all your little trips, am missing you a lot. love nat and ollie xxx

I'll let you know what I think of Transformers when it comes out here... at the end of the bloody month!! Trailers look awesome though! I'm back from my exotic trip to London, Justin Timberlake was amazing and I was one of the few blokes singing along, Fergie supported. Keep the updates coming, hope you're not thinking of shaving your beautiful barnet off Wes!

Hi Both,

great to see some of your pictures at last. It's helped us remember what you look like!! Not much change back here. We're hoping the weather is OK for Trish & Pete's wedding on Sat, but it's mainly indoors anyway. Shame you're not going to be there. We'll raise a glass to you at 7pm; join in if you can work out what time it will be over there. Missing you...

Dad & Geri

Hey Guys!

Sorry, it took a while to do this... i have sent an email but no reply as yet- i do understand though as you'd have a fair few to write! Didn't know i could reply to the blog but now i do i shall be in regular contact!..

I'm so jealous!!!...

...Maybe i won't keep in regular contact actually as i can't bear to read any more fun stories!!

Sounds like you're having an amazing time and i can't wait to see you both in a couple of months when you're all worldly wise!

Lots of love, Lisa X

Hi Wes & Gem,

what's it like in Singapore then? It's seems to be raining all the time here. Last weekend I went with my mates to Malvern on an activity weekend. We had a great time, too much info to write here so I'll tell you when you get back. I'm going fishing this weekend at the Herriot's using maggotts and a feeder with Gran. I caught 2 chub and my Dad caught 1 when we went last week.

Any wild parties you want to tell me about????

Missin you loads, Liam xx

Hi great to read your blog. Wise move flying, far better than 30 hours of anxiety. The zoo sounds amazing and the city sounds a far better place to be than Bankok. I think your sweltering weather will continue, I've just read that Australia is facing the biggest drought since the 1900's and their reserves of water are almost out - so don't look forward to too many showers. Sharks are coming more inland too - so watch the snorkling! and on the sad side half the kangaroo population has died - sounds bad.

At home its continual rain, rain, rain. Its been a week of 5am rises to catch 6.30 trains - it gives me something to do! Had a lovely chat to Lisa's dad on the London train this week before we both fell into a coma just after Oxford!

Anyway, take care both, hope you get your accommodation sorted for tomorrow.

love mum and mikexx

Hi Wes,

just back from EIRE. Rained all week, but never mind. Back to worcester - raining here! At least Rob and Jaq's been having temperatures in the 40s on his island hopping around Greece. I've used the email link on this page to you contact details for Suzanne in NZ. That's it for now - bed early ready for work tomoz - great!
