| 15th June 2009 Wendy | - From: Laos Hi, Showed your blog to my 26yr old nephew, who has been over from Canada for 9 weeks & was too scared to even catch a bus out of Weston!!!! Took him 3 weeks to pluck up courage to go to the sea front alone as we drive on the wrong side!!!! He was wowed & eventually decided maybe he could cope with the X1 to Bristol & connect with the airport bus! You are a true friend you saved me a long ardous drive this morning! Thanks. Take care- see you soon, Lots of Love Wendy |
| 22nd May 2009 becky | now i'm sad - From: Vietnam i miss it!!! i want to be back there!!! feeling sad now...its sunny here today maybe i'll just go get drunk and try and pretend i'm in 'Nam again!! not sure it will really work. oh well...at least i get you back soon!!! love you xxxx |
| 20th May 2009 Wendy | Nearly Done! - From: Cambodia My kids too thought Anker Wort was the most amazing place & had taken virtually the same photos. Also found Nom phen very moving. I have my great-nephew over from Canada for 2 mths & he, after 5 weeks, is still too scared to walk into Weston alone- at 26-and you a mere female have travelled the world single handed. Not long now- hasn't it flown- looking forward to seeing you again Lots of love Wendy. |
| 16th April 2009 Wendy | Nice to hear from you - From: Southern Thailand Great to hear the next exciting episode, even though it hit our screen twice! I think we need a new pc! New pc/holiday- not a difficult decision. My (cringe) great- nephew 25yrs. is over from Canada for 2 mths & is hoping to get a student rail card & explore Europe-my next task of the evening! My other intrepid explorer friends are back in the UK so keep the travelogue flowing! The C/L casualties are not doing well-most distressing. Lots of Love- Wendy- Take care xx |
| 7th April 2009 Brenda | WoW!!!!! - From: Borneo Hi Gem Just read your latest entry, sound's a bit frightening to me especially in the caves!!. I'm so glad you have met up with your parents, bet they were glad to see you safe & I'm sure very tanned!!!!, What a great experience you had with the Orag-Utans the memories of that will be with you forever, it must have been fantastic to see them in their natural habitat. Take care Gem, keep safe & keep sending the photo's. Brenda |
| 1st April 2009 Wendy | Effective what! - From: Borneo That's what I call Rapid Response! E-mail to see where you are one day & an entry arrives the next! Why it took from Jan 9th. till April 1st. is a mystery but our computer is slow. It all sounds very exciting, very adventurous & very dangerous.I'm not surprised your parents came to check on you! I think I would have to carry a portable shower & washing machine in my back pack- says she who has not even got one in her kitchen. The electrician has just removed the old one, which was smoking, with the intention a fitting the new one which is conspicuous by its absence. We assume he would bring it with him as it was all arranged by the same company. Ass u me makes an ass out of u and me! Take care. xxx |
| 28th March 2009 Claire Miller | Wow - From: China Cont... (Yangshao- Beijing) Hi G Just finished reading your last two entries. It looks amazing and so interesting. I hope your xmas wasn't too bad, I should imagine that you felt quite lonely at that time. Remember back before you went off on your travels, we both said that you'll come back with that travelled, wise person look. I can see it already. Your trip just seems so life changing, the experience must be wicked. I can't wait to hear your stories way you get back!! Just thought I'd let you know now that as soon as your home I'm coming to see you!!! Take care out there chat to you soon Claire xx |
| 25th March 2009 Lisa | - From: China Cont... (Yangshao- Beijing) Hi Gem As you haven't updated for a while I am hoping it is because you are too busy still having a fabulous time! The photo's and blogs are excellent - but Emily wants to know if you can bring her a panda home with you? She took a photo of your pic from the zoo and now has it as the wallpaper on her phone - sorry, don't sue us lol. Anyway me duck, you carry on enjoying your epic adventure. Stay safe duck. Lisa xx |
| 23rd February 2009 Wendy | Green with envy - From: China Cont... (Yangshao- Beijing) Your Xmas entry has just hit my screen so I am very confused-it doesn't take much. I have always so wanted to see the great wall & terracotta army but John won't consider leaving Europe, unless it is Canada. Excelled myself last week & broke a bone in both hands-now THAT IS a challenge!!But I'm not giving in! Take care, lots of love Wendyxxxx PS Carol is retiring. |
| 22nd February 2009 Jo | - From: China Cont... (Yangshao- Beijing) Hi Gem. It sounds like you are having a blast and really enjoying yourself. Not quite the same xmas dinner tho hey. The muriels and paintings are fab, and the wall looks amazing and i bet it is something that you won't really appreciate until you physically stand next to it. I still say you are one brave cookie to go off on your own and do this, things are still the same in Weston, but hey some things never change. look forward to some more reading soon Gem. Take care and stay safe hun Jo xxx |

It is amazing & a blessing that you are meeting such great people for help & company. John says if he were 40 years younger he'd probably drive into a lamp post admiring you. We've just returned from two very wet, very cold weeks in Fuerterventura. Glad to get home to the central heating. Back to Care-link in an hour! Take care, lots of love, Wendyxx |
