| 11th July 2008 karen Summerville | I am left speachless! - From: A midsummers run in the Peak District What an amazing achievement Andy ( and of course Catherine for looking after you so well during that gruelling race!). I am left feeling completely in awe of you both, and for once in my life I am lost for words! The experience you descibe sounds very scary to me, and a huge strain on the body, and must take immense courage, physical and mental strength and determination, and sheer guts and will power! Congratulations...what a fantastic achievement. Karen |

Hope life in London is treating you both well. Love Kristin |

| 11th January 2007 Kelley | Inspirational! - From: Above the arctic circle in search of Santa Another fantastic trip - although this is the first one that has made me truly, truly envious. I'd never even thought of such a trip before and now am inspired - mostly because of your wonderful writing, Catherine! I agree with your friends below that you should take up travel writing. I would even submit this piece for consideration to Outside! magazine - this is right up their alley. Anyway - sounds like a magical week - thank you, as always, for sharing! |
| 11th January 2007 Tracey and Stephen | WOW!! - From: Above the arctic circle in search of Santa Catherine, if you don't come back and take up a career as a travel writer, it will be a truly wasted talent. You make your experiences come alive and they're just fantastic to read!! Hope that every day is spectacular and think of you both often. Will have another champagne for you both tonight. Look forward to catching up again some time. Always! XX |
| 2nd January 2007 Lin | Jealous! - From: Above the arctic circle in search of Santa Happy 2007 - what a fantastic blog! Always enjoy your travels and this one was excellent - I'm settling into a 36C day, so the snow pictures were very welcome. Seems the Catherine magic with doggies is still there - no doubt the thought of a tummy rub was what was driving them on!!! Looking forward to seeing you in April. Love Lin |
| 2nd January 2007 Peter & Mariza | Laws about that! - From: Above the arctic circle in search of Santa Another envious reader trying to think of a quick quip! I have just a couple of things to say... There are laws about having a "long standing obsession with the moose" and if you paint some antler on Andrew the "polar explore" picture you may just well have your way with a moose! Great to hear from you and have an excellent 2007. |
| 31st December 2006 mum and dad m | incredible - From: Above the arctic circle in search of Santa great to read and see your Christmas 2006 adventure. Happy New Year see you on lst March. Love to you both |

| 14th November 2006 Kelley | It's a small world, after all - From: Does turning 30 in the eternal city mean eternal youth? Hey there! First of all - good job, Andy! What a fantastic birthday surprise for Catherine! Secondly, I can't believe we were in Italy at the same time! We didn't go to Rome this visit, but both my parents and our best friends Angie & Alex were in Rome the same weekend as you were! I'm so glad you made it to the Borghese-my favorite museum in all of Europe! It looks like a wonderful weekend away-Italy is the most romantic of all countries. Hope you are well! |
