It's gone so quick! Hi Both - glad to hear you're well. I just can't believe it's almost time for you to come back! Laura - hope you're still OK for the hen weekend. Looking forward to seeing you xx
Driving - try Italy!!!!!! Hi you both. Glad you are well and driving across America. We have just returned from driving across France and Italy!!! Italian drivers are M.A.D. and overtake on blind bends on mountain roads i n torrential rain, with one hand on the wheel and the other talking into their mobile!!!! Tunnel had a fire so we did not get back that way and had to go on the net for a ferry. Got back earlier than the tunnel anyway. Grandad fine, although he has managed to break his washing machine in our absence. Weather in Italy wasgood. Saw Pisa, Florence and Siena and opther places too, but we were up in mountains so no sea! Keep happy, catch u on rerturn Love Us allxxxxxxxxxx
soz for not mailing for a bit hi U2. things have been hectic, went from Riley's brithday party to busy busy at work, riley's actual birthday (he's like the queen having 2!) and then off to italia. been doing some trekking of our own up the hills in lake como (didn't see george or brad even tho they are apparently there at the mo!), i however have an extra 2 stone to trek up hills in the shape of riley who although he now runs (he was never going to just walk was he that would be BOOORRRIINNG) is a lot smaller and so slower and has to be picked up all the time otherwise. he DOES NOT like being in the pushchair at the minute. mum says he's just like i was (is that good or not?????.. probably not!) love, hugs etc, hope you are having the bestest time. not long to go now i bet it's flying by. xxxxx p.s riley says thanks for his pressies especially the rocket which he likes to press buttons on and get the astronauts in and out of. marvellous (daddy likes it to....) xxx p.p.s how are the caiprinhas going down?? mark finished our cachaca off at the party.
Obrigada Dudes - Everything sounds amazing, you aren't missing anything here - ooh apart from The Wire Series 5 but don't worry Dave, Dan has it all recorded for you.
The weather is pants and there's been times where we could have gone white water rafting on our beck this summer!
Its Dans leaving do tomorrow - which I'm sure you'll be gutted about missing, but I'm sure we can relive the moment when you get back.
There's a new casino opening in Leeds in a couple of weeks so get practising in Vegas!
Keep having fun
Dan and Jode xx
ps we got the updates to the new address which is wicked., cheers
Wedding & Bush Wee Hi Tess, don´t worry about booking anything, thanks but I just wanted to know what everybody was planning.
As for bush wees, sometimes we have the benefit of garage public toilets, other times, yes it´s just a matter of finding the right bush. I´ve only done number ones so far though!!!
Wedding Hi love, so glad you're still having a ball can't wait to see all your pics when you get back - quick question ... where do you go to the loo in these bush camps?! Read your note about Rachel's wedding think we are going to drive home as Tim is running a half marathon the next day. Don't think that helps you sorry but if you want me to book you somewhere let me know. Lots of love and take care xxx

So you want to work 4 Tescos? Hi Laura
Glad you are ok. we were getting concerned you were too drunk to write for ever!! Weather here is fab, hot, sunny and cloudless blue skies. Blues top of the league, more Olympic Golds than we won since 1908, Grandad had his helicopter ride and loved it, and the rumour is that TESCO are buying out the RBS Insurance arm!!!! Hope Dave wakes up and realises that he and alcohol should get less aquainted. We are off to Tuscany on the 2nd, after the traumas of the villa not being available getting sorted. Keep in touch, stay dry.Lots love Dad, CJ, Mal and Grampsxxxxxxxxxx P.S. Leeds are 14th after three games won 1 lost 1 drawn 1.
Rach and Phill s Wedding Hi - I know I am possibly a bit early but can someone let me know the plan for accommodation for Rach and Phills wedding please. I had a breif look at the list with the invite before we flew out but didnt book anything, sorry rubbish punctuation I cannot find anything on this keyboard!!
Hope all is well there will send a blog soon to update on our action packed activities xxx
riley's next sorry didn't email yesterday but hope you got my text from the team! glad you managed the hike, not easy at times but it's well worth the view at the sun gate isn't it! riley the little monster is walking ahhh. he's so cute though, the current fave is to scrunch his nose up like some sort of devil child whilst laughing hysterically. he also waves and claps on command. i've decided to be an army style mother like family von trapp (stopped short of using a whistle though) as riley does not sit still and has his mitts in EVERYTHING. the joys of parenthood!!!! anyway. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU (and the rest of the song). Hope you had a top one, memorable at the least!!! glad to see you are doing everything, go crazy until you get to rio and then sit on the beach drinking caipirinha for a few days to recover!!!! i'm soooo jealous as it brings back memories of what a fab trip we had and want to do it all again!!!!
Post some more pics, take care, have fun, drink lots, see you soon. xxxxxxxxxxxx
Travel Claim Laura,
I think if you check your policy details you will find your not covered for lost proprty in a 24 hour time period covering shopping for Coca leaves and Booze.
That said if you bought the dynamite I'm sure that could change our views.
All the best
Birthday Happy Birthday Laura - hope "jeeping" was good - shame about camera though, but you both sound as though you are "enjoying" (is that the right word!) your trek. Lots of Love Jean xx
Happy Birthday! Great to hear that you're both having such a good time (sunstroke and illness aside - always much better reading up on your news over a coffee instead of working). Anyway, happy birthday Laura! I'll raise a glass to you tonight (as long as I haven't failed my AS-level Archaeology that is)!
Hello and happy birthday to Lau! Hi guys, so glad you're having a fabulous time we're really enjoying reading about your travels - not jealous at all?! Just got back from a lovely hol in sunny Spain - Tilly had a ball and can now almost swim on her own. Happy birthday Laura hope you have a memorable day will be thinking of you and will have a glass of bubbly in your honour. Lots of love to you both xxx
