| 27th October 2006 John and Ffi | - From: All Good Things... Hi Guys - blogs have been fab and remarkably well written! You 'part time' travellers take care, and big huggs from both of us! Only 6 months till we'll see you! love you both John and Ffix |
| 25th October 2006 Charles | Thanks.... - From: All Good Things... Thanks for the bloggs and sharing your journey with us - it has been fun following you around!! Trouble is, this potentially brings closer the day I might have to work with Martin again. Groan! Thanks again! Charles ;-) |
| 16th October 2006 Matt | Maintenez la Droite! - From: Autumn Sun Not sure if its correct French-Canadian but it sounds impressive, more succinct than Obtenez toujours votre homme! Not know what I'm on about? Ask someone from the RCMP. =) Aaaanyway, hi! Am i too late? Supposedly theres another blog imminent but i thought you were on a plane now. Still loving the blogs and accompanying pics. All looks so spectacular! (especially Anj) Glad you've been having much fun. I am offended by all the moaning about England by commenters in the last blog, they lie! England at mo is sunny and warm! Still dont need any more than a tee to walk outside, great! You would'nt imagine that its mid-October! Hope the flight is speedy and lacking in delays and let me be the first to say: Maison bienvenue!!! (seriously, probably not correct French but I'm a dancer) =) |
| 15th October 2006 Ivan | From Old England - From: New England Hi mega travellers. How did the cycle up Cadillac Mountain go? You probably cannot remember as it was so long ago. Marianne says you must keep posting Blogs on your return as I told her about the hectic social scene here in Bexhill. Hoping your trip around the Maritimes went well. Hope too that the return flight is smooth. See you soon. |
| 13th October 2006 Ollie | Now in the home straight... - From: New England Still enjoying the blogs, but haven't spotted my hat Anj - I need photographic evidence that my hat definitely made the trip! Sounds like you're starting to wind down a little, why else wouldn't you have taking up the challenge of walking the 2,174 Appalachian trail. Seriously though, thought I detected a hint of sadness at leaving America from your last blog. Perhaps it is the realisation that you're leaving America en route back to Britain. Keep chin up and enjoy the remainder of your time away. Look forward to seeing you when you get back and seeing all the pics- especially the ones with my hat in them! Ollie |
| 11th October 2006 Brenda & Laurie | Homeward Bound - From: New England Enjoy your last few days in Canada. England is cold and wet but we are waiting to welcome you home. Have a safe trip back. When will the video be ready?? |
| 11th October 2006 Abi | Home Coming! - From: New England Hi guys, Thanks for the continued updates, it's brilliant to read about your adventures and see such wonderful pictures! I hope you are both well and am looking forward to seeing you when you return. Can't be long now! The time has flown by-I'm sure you can't wait to get back to the cold and grey fog that is England!! We can't wait to see you though!! Abi xx |
| 29th September 2006 Ivan | What's new pussycats?? - From: A Bite of the Big Apple Just been catching up with your latest blog (from NYC). Others may be too tired (or too busy) to log any comments, but you won't catch me out that way! Had to get my magnifying glass out to appreciate the pictures but understand you were trying to cram a lot in (and time is a constraint). Thought Angela looked very fetching in blue see-through!!By now you should be nearing Acadia NP and Bar Harbour. Hope the weather is good so you see it at its best. Understand from Brenda that New England was at least partly just shades of grey. All AOK here.Have fun and look after each other.Love |
| 15th September 2006 Abi | Hello! - From: Bloomington Marvellous! Cute baby!! Ah, Anj-you look like a natural!! And nice haircut Marts xxx |
| 14th September 2006 Marianne's Mum | Happy Birthday - From: Bloomington Marvellous! Wonderful that you all met up, makes the world a smaller place. Happy Birthday, Angela - one to remember! Hope you enjoyed your pint and steak'n'kidney pie in the Brit Pub. If you thought the Mall of America was Minneapolis' hot shopping spot, you should have visited Bloomington's IKEA and Toys'R'Us! Love to all, Brenda xx |
| 14th September 2006 Matt | Delay - From: Bloomington Marvellous! Only just had a chance to catch up on the blogs and the envious jealousy continues! Everything looks absolutely awe inspiring, and you've seen meese! (plural of moose) Woo! Glad you are still enjoying your tour and had a semi-relaxing few days in Minnie. Also glad that 3M look happy and healthy, Little M looks as cute as ever! (as do Daddy and Mommy M, would'nt want any parental jealousy) VERY fancy mirror shot! I think you should send it to wildlife photographer of the year! =) Its good to see you're making good use of ya new toy! Old Blighty is still furiously warm with the very occasional shower, I think the weathers forgotten its september! Keep the great blogs coming! Matty xxx |
| 12th September 2006 Joe | For God's sake! - From: More Moose!! Damn you two! Abi always sends me these blogs and I always have a look before struggling to stop myself from flying into a jealous rage! I think, from now on, you should only be allowed to say that you're, 'having a nice time'. Any more detail than that is just unfair on all of us chumps sat in England keyboard tapping all day! So - once again - damn you, Martin and Anj... Damn your brilliant ideas and your ability to organise yourself so that you actually see them through! Keep the blogs coming! Joe PS: Nice hat, Anj! |
| 12th September 2006 Jess | Depression - From: More Moose!! I feel even more depressed then yesterday having read your news! Sounds like you are having such a fab time - grey ol' London can't compete! jxx |
| 11th September 2006 sez | Loving the pici's! - From: The End of the Wild Moose Chase???! Hi you two! love the picture of the mountain reflection, very professional. Sorry to disappoint, but i've not seen bugs life either! Very jealous sat here at work on a monday morning, it really does look amazing. Take care, love s x |
| 6th September 2006 Matty | Moose! - From: Three Snakes and a Whale....! Northern Exposure! *ö* ... it's supposed to represent a moose. Really. Glad ya still enjoying it and getting plenty of exercise. Photos and text continue to be fantastic and turn many an iris emerald! Keep them coming! Mxx |
| 5th September 2006 Ollie | Happy birthday Anj - From: Three Snakes and a Whale....! This is just to wish you a happy birthday. I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time if the last couple of months is anything to go by. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANJ!!! x |
| 4th September 2006 Abi | Wow! - From: Three Snakes and a Whale....! Gosh-what amazing pictures of that whale. It must have looked even more amazing in real life, what a sight! Glad to hear you are still having fun, the hire car looks very suave. Joe and I went to Prague for a few days last week which was beautiful, it was nice to get away although it wasn't for long enough. Am sooo jealous of you guys! Love to u both, Abi xx |
| 1st September 2006 Ollie | - From: Three Snakes and a Whale....! I got the link for the blog from Jess. After making a few enquiries around the office, I think it is Norther Exposure too. I expect some fancy reward for the time and effort I invested. Think I've read all your blogs now. They're all amazing - never thought neither of you could do so much physical stuff. Really proud of both of you. I expect this little trip will get Martin (the slacker) into shape. Keep having fun! |
| 1st September 2006 Ollie | I am so jealous... - From: What the Elk??! Greetings from a bright sunny day in Brixton. Managed to catch up on all of your blogs thanks to Jess. Everything look fantastic - even Martin look a little on the 'cool' side. Honestly though, good to read/see that you two are having such a brilliant time and getting so much done. Anj, you scare me with how organised you are (I'm assuming that you've done most of the planning - Martin, do forgive me if I'm wrong). I'm fairly intrigued by this moose hunt and I wonder how much longer we're going to have to wait for the first sighting. I wish all succes in your quest. Happy Hunting!! |
| 29th August 2006 anonymous | - From: Three Snakes and a Whale....! We have just realised that Minneapolis will be the biggest city you've seen since Seattle, so you've got to be impressed! The house will be all clean for your arrival (I'll be scrubbing all day!) ... am counting sleeps! Mx |
| 28th August 2006 Ivan | Three snails and a steak......! ( it's a joke!! ) - From: Three Snakes and a Whale....! Sorry about the silly pun! Brilliant Blogs and amazing photos, can't wait to see the film!! I am guessing Roseanne for the TV series. Sorry I missed your call, just too far from the phone at the time. Arrived back from Belgium Sunday evening - had a great time as always. Hope Angela has fully recovered from her cold. Am starting work at the Town Hall tomorrow. I agree Blackburn played well and they should soon be moving up the table. Have fun, drive safely. Love to you both. |
| 28th August 2006 Minneapolis posse | We got it!!!! - From: Three Snakes and a Whale....! After much debate and a little bit of research to rule out Twin Peaks, we have decided it's NORTHERN EXPOSURE!!!!! Just wondering what we win?!! Wonderful photos..More from us soon...(Dad wants to check how the videoing is coming along? You'll be seeing footage from the Dairy State soon!) |
| 27th August 2006 B & L & M & M & M | Fellow Travellers - From: Goodbye Canada... Hello USA!! Hello, fellow travellers! We have just arrived back in Minneapolis after 5 days in Wisconsin on the South Shore of Lake Superior - 'the shining big sea water' - Hiawatha. Enjoyed buckets and spades on the beach, exploring the tiny town of Bayfield and boating round the Apostle Islands. Max has been introduced to MacDonalds and our intrepid sailor Marianne took the helm on a sailing boat this morning. Sorry our paths won't cross in the next few weeks but enjoy the rest of your expedition. Take care. Love to you both. |
| 18th August 2006 Jo xxx | Hello guys! - From: Back to City life Hello you two! I am back from my hols now and not a moment too soon! We had more rain in the 2 1/2 weeks than they've had all year in France so I'm back to cosy old home. Glad to hear you are still enjoying your travels. It's Andrew's birthday today and he opened his card from you and it made me miss you xxx Hope you are good and things are well. Keep the photos and the news coming. All is well here apart from the odd drizzle or two.... Write soon. Love you both xxxx |
| 13th August 2006 Ivan...couver! | You lucky people - From: Back to City life Hiya. Enjoyed (as always) reading your latest blog with so many superb pictures. Hope that you enjoy the US of A as much as Canada which was obviously amazing. Cannot imagine how you are coping with all the luggage given that it was overweight when you started?! Did you manage a run in Stanley Park?? Anyway enjoy every minute, take care of each other and drive safely. Love to you both. PS Matthew arrives tomorrow so must get on with some tidying up. |
| 13th August 2006 Loz | Hello peeps - From: Back to City life Hello again ... I just felt the need to say that from the pics you ahve uploaded it all looks fantastic. For once I am looking forward to going through Anj's many rolls and rolls and rolls of rolls of photos (only joking hon!). Catch ya later travellers. Loz xxx |
| 11th August 2006 M&M | Love from M (cubed) - From: Back to City life Hello! I just realised that Ivan is even managing to add messages and so I'd better get my act together! We can't wait to see you in a few weeks time! (another 10,000+ lakes to see here!) I'm loving your blog - I've been reading it to Max. We think we might be able to find you a moose among his collection of fluffy animals. Now, after all those gorgeous lakeside lodges, you must be longing for a nice, homely night in, with just a little bit of babysitting!!! (only joking!). See you in Minneapolis very soon!!!!! |
| 11th August 2006 Abi | Ahoy there! - From: Back to City life Hello you pair! Again, what amazing photos! Canada is now my top new place to go to, it looks incredible and I can't beleive how much wildlife you've seen, I bet whale watching was fantastic. I am most jealous! I am off to the big smoke tonight for a charity event that Joe and Becky's Dave are DJing at, so should be fun! Big hugs to you both and look forward to more brilliant pics! Abi xxx |
| 10th August 2006 Claire | - From: Island in the Sun Hey, Sorry not written sooner only just got your blogg (no yahoo access at work). Sounds like you are having a fab time, loving the photos. Looking forward to seeing you in about 4 weeks. |
| 8th August 2006 ivan | Home again - From: Island in the Sun Hello you lucky people. Arrived home from Yorks Dales (via Wem, Stourbridge and Woking) at 1930 this evening. It took me 3 and 3/4 hours from B&L's having hit 4 separate traffic jams (do you remember those?). Anyway it was great to catch up with your latest blogs. Am a bit worried about Angela as she seems very keen on snuggling up with the local hairy animals!!! Then I saw Martin's hairy chin so there's probably not a lot of difference! Looking forward to your next offering on your Vancouver Island experience. Love ya |
| 5th August 2006 Brenda | A must - From: Island in the Sun Don't miss the British Columbia Museum in Victoria - well worth a visit. There might even be a moose in there! |

| 31st July 2006 Matt | Bearly contained jealousy - From: Pawsome!! All the photos look gorgeous! Glad you're having such a good time, enjoying the lakes and the wildlife, while others of us have to work in mid-thirties temperatures! (Thats in work, not outside) London as a whole has started to cool for a few days, no major thunderstorms but nice breeze for once. Keep blogging, its fantastic to know what you're upto! I could live without knowing that you eat bacon butties WITH maple syrup! EW! VERY jealous of all the great things you're seeing and great pics (although: What kind of bears? (Im guessing all black from the photos) Many stag elks? Picky, ain't I!) Oh and Martin looks very nice in his mountie outfit! Keep in touch and hope you enjoy Vancouver as much as last time!

| 29th July 2006 Jo xxx | Anj the Moose! - From: 7500ft and rising! Hi guys! Can't believe how blue the water is in your canoeing photo! Also can't believe how much activity Anj is undertaking!! All this hiking and stuff will have you entered in the Chase Hike next year if you're not careful! You keep saying that you haven't spotted any mooses yet, but Martin, you are travelling with one!!! Hee hee! Love to you both. Keep on enjoying yourselves and sending these blogs and pics. I'm leaving on Monday for France so will catch up with your diary when I return. Love Jo xxxxx |
| 27th July 2006 Ivan | Snow place like home - From: What the Elk??! As we continue to bake in the heatwave that seems to have decided to take up residence in S.England,I feel it is quite inconsiderate to keep sending pictures of snow & ice!!! Seriously though, it is great to see and hear what you have been up to. Much as I love Bexhill I must admit the scenery is not a patch on yours. Nor for that matter is the wildlife. Thanks for including so many pictures. It really brings what you are up to to life. Keep in touch. |
| 27th July 2006 Rich | Wow! - From: What the Elk??! Hey guys! Wow, your photos are awesome. Those lakes and mountains look incredible. Did you really eat all those marshmallows? That bag was mammoth! Mart, you will be pleased to hear that the Rovers are finally on the brink of signing Benni McCarthy - it's been a long time coming! Hope all's well with you - we're sweltering in a frankly infuriating heatwave. Bring on the winter.... All the best & keep on blogging! Rich |
| 27th July 2006 Brenda | Woodpeckers? - From: What the Elk??! Can't see the woodpeckers! Are you making it up!! |
| 19th July 2006 Jess | - From: Howdy! Glad you've made it safe and sound. Am very jealous about the pancakes too! You're not missing anything here - we living in 36 degree heat at the moment and it is unbearable! Love the cowboy hats........! jx |
| 19th July 2006 Ffi and John | - From: Happy Campers! Hi guys - can't believe you are so organised and have done all this - we have been away for three months and all we've managed to do is send a couple of emails!!! you are way too organised for us - we are very jealous! Looks like you're having a ball - miss youxx |
| 18th July 2006 Weezy! | Howdy! - From: Happy Campers! Well folks you look just mighty fine in those cowboy hats! Angela, you were made for it. The scenery looks absolutely stunning - though I'm pretty sure you're making those names up! Love the RV - hope you're keeping a look out for an actual Bigfoot. Just found out I got a commendation!!!! Wooo hooo! Have some of that yummy ice-cream for me! Heck, way too many exclamation marks in this e-mail. Have a super duper time and carry on camping! Keep us posted. Lots of love, Weezy xxxxx |
