love the photos, glad to hear you are still having a great time. I spent the day with mum, she took me out for a drive in the mini mobile, she's really getting the hang of those wheel spins and uses the country lanes as a racing track. she has even bought new designer glasses to go with the car, i believe she has finally having her mid life crisis but delayed. the boot isn't to bad where she undone all the bolts looking for the spare wheel, and the piss marks from the old ladies have nicly been coverd up with flowerd throws. anyway mum is having a great time and clocking up the miles. I am fine, Jamie is going to Hong Kong in a weeks time for 3 weeks for work. I feel i should be getting a message somewhere, everyone keeps leaving. miss you loads lots of love Bev
