| 20th July 2008 Holger | Having a ball....well several different balls! - From: BACK IN THE USSA Hi you two....seems that you are discovering, discovering and then enjoying! Life here in dull Derby is ...well dull and oh so wet! Biggest event was Sophs graduation day attended by me, Gaye and Gayes Mum Diz! We where all so proud on the day and the joined Kris and Delaney for celebration Dinner in Manchester......a day I only dreamed about when she was knee high....soooo got both graduated now and one can relax....I wonder!

| 8th June 2008 Holger | Derby - From: On the road again Hi Both Hope the trip is going well...have informed Brit customs to give you a hard time.....something about illegal immigrants and ethnics from Oz etc. It should work and you'll be back on your way home before you can say ' I was gonna buy Holger a drink but....! News from Gary and Lindas B&B is that Linda is escaping to France when you are coming (is she the lucky one!) and so Gary is determined that you stay with him....its his only chance of survival whilst Linda is away....he has trouble locating the toilet paper when she is away...let alone knowing which hand to use! So the moral of this email 'dont book a B&B when there is a welcome in the Smiths house! |
| 27th November 2007 Sue | Brave - From: VIVA LAS VEGAS, VIVA LAS VEGAS Dear Corrie and Ian Way to go !!! The girls and I are so impressed with you going on those rides.

You are having the most fantastic time and honestly Corrie, you make it all come alive in your blog. Ian, how clever are you doing your own mechanical repairs.

Great to hear that you had a go at sleeping under the stars.
