hello

Hi you two, by now I think you might be on the journey home I know Mel said you would be leave on Tuesday and as its wee small hours of Wed with you could be on the plane already. My brother John wants to be the first and last person to post a message so I'm going to see if I can beat him to it. Post a card if you get an opportunity en route and remember if you have any hold ups in LA (& time to kill) you could always contact Gerry Ann or John Jo. Looking forward to seeing you on Thursday. Lots of jobs lined up for you (Mel) around the house so you can earn some pocket money whilst you are sorting yourself out. Love MumXXXXX

Hi Zak, check your email if you have a chance, I sent you a message! love tom

Hi Mel and Zak,

Can't believe you are almost on your way home - time flies - your photos are amazing - so jealious of the 12 apostles one - it was raining when we got there. So looking forward to seeing you both again and hearing all your stories - although not looking forward to standing next to your tanned bodies!! Enjoy your last few weeks and see you soon.

love tasha

Hi, as you can see from previous message working late (first time this week) as I am speaking to you on regular basis (minor crisis of one sort or another - lost cards, booking accommodation etc.) no other news from me. Sending this to prove I have been in and checked out the photos. Speak 2 U (like the text speak) this evening. Looking forward to seeing the photos from Raratonga and Moorea. Lots of love Mum.

your on your way home now!!!!!! yeah!!!! maybe not good stuff for you guys SORRY!!!! I know what I was like when I headed back form my travels 6 years later and I'm still not over it!
I'm sure you will just say that it has been the best thing ever,
STAY SAFE AND HAVE A FAB 2 WEEKS getting your beef curtains out!!!!!!
love Juicy J xxx

hi mel/zak, just been catching up with your post-cards - at mark & jaime's so using his laptop scuse the typing. Went walking yesterday round pitsford reservoir (training for Moonwak) before leaving to come down to london.
Spent last night in mark cooked - nice soup and steak/salad. off to one of the markets today or bingo if it rains.
News hot off the press the petit max is closed and up for sale - shame as they seemed to do good business. Well at least from you guys. Nan has sold her maisonetter and making plans for moving rings me up everyday with reports of items she has found of mine (videos, dvds etc.) not sure what i am supposed to do about them. Nan is coming into Npton on Thursday to see a concert (Irish dancing type thing based on Riverdance but how they danced before River Dance).
I am going to take her to the White Hart for dinner beforehand as I'm sure she'll like it being completely non-smoking. Doing 14 miles on Sat as training for the main even (we walk through the night 20/5 and 21/5) looks like we will finish about 04:30 a.m. so I am trying to persuade Mark & Jaime to wait up and cook breakfast for us (only joking!!) but can't get a train back until 09:00. You won't be surprised that we have to go to Wellingborough to get home as there are no trains to Npton just substitute buses (you remember that) which take over 3-4 hours to get us from London to Npton. That's all my news for now let me know when you've organised your next locations - I assume the NZ mobile works on those Islands as well. Love Mum, Mark & Jaime. XXXXXXXXXX
