| 2nd July 2007 Neil | - From: My last night and the way home Wooooo! Welcome home, Tamsin & well done on keeping us so regularly up-to-date. It's good to have you back xx |
| 26th June 2007 DDLL | - From: Zanzibar They're Elton John glasses. Turn round - can't see the beach bum's bum Tell spice boy the spice girls are reforming - they may need him |
| 21st June 2007 Beryl | Have fun - From: My final weeks Sound great Iris. Have fun together. I'm looking forward to seeing you and hearing all about it Beryl |
| 21st June 2007 Neil | - From: Zanzibar Top blogging Mum. Tamsin - are those palm glasses perscription? xxx |
| 3rd June 2007 Nancy | *hug* - From: My life on the island- Part 3- back in the schools hiya honey x x sounds like its been a bit of an uphill struggle but you seem to be making real progress now. Can't wait to see you when you get back, i may even have a job by then, *shock horror*. stu says hello smellyhead x x x |
| 1st June 2007 Mummy the ex teacher | I wish I'd been there. - From: My life on the island- Part 3- back in the schools Well done Tamsin for aticking at it and it will really help yhou with your own teaching as all pupils will not be like your angels at Nayland. See you very soon xxxxx |
| 29th May 2007 ian | i vote dad - From: You will have to wait a little longer Tamsin to create and dictate with Leigh to embellish, add dry wit and spell. x ian and pam |
| 29th May 2007 Neil | Voting for bloggers - From: You will have to wait a little longer Dad, no question. No offence to your writing, T, but a guest star livens the blog up (Paulie did such a good job), and I have no doubt that his views on Malawi will be hilarious. I'm not sure you should let Mum guest when she goes out there, it might take all day to read ;-p xx |
| 28th May 2007 Wife and mother | who writes the blog - From: You will have to wait a little longer I think you should both write the blog. but mainly you Tamsin. When I asked Leigh on the phone what Malawi was like - he said very nice then was stuck for words so his blog would be rather short!! Miss you both. |
| 18th May 2007 Tamsin's mummy | well done Paul - From: Ukamas to Jburg Really enjoyed your input Paul and glad you have enjoyed your action packed holiday. for what it is worth before I became a 'Sebba' I had done very little adventurous anything. As a sebba I have learnt to paraglide, ski, horse ride and even weld!! |
| 18th May 2007 DDLL | A lady.... - From: Ukamas to Jburg I seem to recall reading somewhere that a lady cannot have too many shoes and handbags |
| 17th May 2007 Neil | - From: Ukamas to Jburg Top blogging P! |
| 11th May 2007 Jon | I have a picture at the same place - From: Cape Point to Swellingham with my Dad (Senia) from 1979. I'll post it if I can find it. |
| 8th May 2007 Neil | - From: Cintza to Coffee Bay Horse! Horse! |
| 7th May 2007 T's mum | Names and things - From: Cintza to Coffee Bay Very amusing entry. Was your horse really called Spirt or was it Spirit - which ever makes for amusing retirement comment. Tamsin looks like she is pulling the reins much too tight on her galloping pose _Penny Baker would have a fit(our local horse expert) In Costa Rica they didn't have bits at all just ropes round their nose (I don't think my terminology is quite right!!) and they were really responsive and we didn't hurt their mouths. What is the story with the dog behind you Paul in your surf picture? Or is he just a passerby? Keep up the good work! |
| 5th May 2007 T's mum | Brave 'Paulie' - From: Diving Well done Paul for trying all these 'extreme' sports with Tamsin. Hope you managed to enjoy the holiday as well!! |
| 2nd May 2007 lamlee | Knysna - From: Kloofing! Nysner is pronounced that way but spelt Knysna A Kloof is and Afrikaans word meaning valley, but has now been taken into South African English to mean a narrow, steep sided valley, that usually has rock pools along it. (well, thats my interpretation anyway) |
| 2nd May 2007 T's mummy | sculpture - From: Ostrich Riding When I looked at the first photo I thought Oh Tamsin is holding a real ostrich but I wish she had taken a close up of the sculpture behind. Then when I blew it up I saw both were bronze. Thanks for that. What is the weight allowance for an ostrich. I wonder if it is similar to a lleama as their legs look similar. Keep up the good work Paul. Not a menu in sight!! |
| 2nd May 2007 Stella | Plet! - From: Kloofing! I spent a month in Plet! If you visit the elephants sanctury they were my old neighbours so say hello! You can dive from the big hotel in Plet which is what i did, but i heard Knysner is better. Hope you have fun! |
| 1st May 2007 Tamsin's mummy | Penguins - From: Cape Point to Swellingham Aah, I love them. I would like a beach hut where you had penguins standing around. Are they friendly? Looking forward to MORE detail. (I don't mind not knowing what you had to eat.) |
| 1st May 2007 Tamsin's mum | Food tour - From: Paul arrives in South Africa I think I know more about what Tamsin had to eat and drink round the world than any other detail. Thought should leave comment as we have a new author. I thought Nelson Mandela's cell was your hotel room when I first read the entry!! |
| 24th April 2007 Kesh | Snake - From: Soosusvlei Arghhhh that is one big snake!!! The pics are awesome. |
| 18th April 2007 DDLL | Ski lift ? - From: Heini's adventurous home town Couldn't you get two people and a sand board on one quad bike ? Ride up the dune - and then one of you could board down ? |
| 18th April 2007 DDLL | Injuries - From: Soosusvlei Didn't you get a local cure for your bruises such as rhino pee or elephant dung ? |
| 18th April 2007 DDLL | Welcome home meal - From: Heini's adventurous home town I am making a shopping list and off to Asda - caterpillar grubs, goats heads..... |
| 18th April 2007 DDLL | Not white rhinos - From: Rinos And I always thought white rhinos were white ! |
| 18th April 2007 DDLL | Photo of microlight flight - From: Over the falls Who took the picture ? A helpful passing bird ? |
| 4th April 2007 DDLL | Camping - From: Okavango Delta Reminds me of that well known (?) book ‘Morton Mouse Goes Camping’ where he pitches his tent in the dark and accidentally he is camping in the safari park. |
| 4th April 2007 DDLL | Silly comment - From: Chobe National park I thought leopards had their spots naturally. I didn’t realise they are spotted by tourists. Do you use some sort of paint gun ? (Sorry) |
| 21st March 2007 Tamsin | No sleeves - From: Minh's Motorbike Tour Day 1 I put on a long sleeves when on the bike- to protect from sun aswell as fall. |
| 19th March 2007 DDLL | Viernam War - From: Cu Chi Tunnels Simplistically I think the USA had a policy of stopping 'the spread of Communism'. In UK the anti war protest movemnent was huge with a massive march to the USA Embassy in London in 1968. Also many 'pop' songs were anti Vietnam war. The following is 'sarcastic' words of a song - Come on all of you big strong men Uncle Sam needs your help again he's got himself in a terrible jam way down yonder in Viet Nam so put down your books and pick up a gun we're gonna have a whole lotta fun (CHORUS) And it's one, two, three, what are we fighting for don't ask me I don't give a damn, next stop is Viet Nam And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates ain't no time to wonder why, whoopee we're all gonna die Come on generals, let's move fast your big chance has come at last now you can go out and get those reds cos the only good commie is the one that's dead and you know that peace can only be won when we've blown 'em all to kingdom come |
| 19th March 2007 DDLL (concerned parent) | Safe ? - From: Minh's Motorbike Tour Day 1 Glad that you survived the bike (if not the driver !). Glad to see the helmet but not so happy about the sleeveless arms which would have been a bit of a mess in a fall. |
| 15th March 2007 DDLL | Hello - From: Shopping in Hoi An Your rucksack must be bulging. I looked Hoi An up on internet and it seems a nice place and I presume you are next off to Cham Island for the diving ? |
| 7th March 2007 DDLL | Various - just to show I've read it all - From: Hanoi and Halong Bay Wednesday seems a busy day. Why would they sell you a visa for a date 6 months previous. Saturday - you missed the most important info - who was playing in the football match ? 200 days gone - 120 to go...... |
| 7th March 2007 Mum | photographs - From: Hanoi and Halong Bay Are you dong something different with the photos -when I double click on them they are staying small whch means they are poor quality when I try to download them. Not good if you want me to save them. |
| 5th March 2007 Beryl | Very interesting - From: Hanoi and Halong Bay I've just caught up with your latest journals Tamsin and am really impressed with all you've done. Your photos are great. Don't know how you find the time or the places to do all the writing. Enjoy. |
| 4th March 2007 Ian and Pam | The Horrors and St Ethelburga's - From: Horrors Yes, it is sad that man's inhumanity to man did not stop in 1945 but has carried on rippling from continent to continent. Pam and I agree that the only response is one of thanks to have the good fortune to be born where we were and when we were. Pam and I are currently talking to Leigh and Iris about getting a sculpture called 'Thornflower' cast to stand in St Ethelburga's Church in the City (rebuilt after the second IRA bomb destroyed it and now a Centre for Reconciliation and Peace) in memory of your grandparents and Pam's parents. The sculpture is by Charlotte Salmon who I know from the School of Meditiation whose grandmother was murdered in Treblinka. I don't suppose the German people have any more idea than the Cambodian people 'why' these horrors erupt or the Russians understand Stalin. Ideologies and religions certainly sometimes seem to magnify rather than reduce them. This is most remarkable when all the Traditional Religions from Anabaptism to Zoroastrianism have peace at their heart. We hope you also find the peace and the tranquillity of the temples of Cambodia, that is no less a part of reality. Love and stay safe Pam and Ian |
| 28th February 2007 Mum | - From: Horrors I hope Pete is on commission!! He does write brilliantlly doesn't he. I'm sure this place must change you. love you - mum |

We stayed at a hotel with beach lodges and there were cafes on the beach. Lots of the diving places were owned by Scandinavians. We went on a boat from near there to the Similian Islands recommneded for diving. We snorkelled. love dadxxx |

| 19th November 2006 Julie (Lake Malawi Project) | G'day from cold UK - From: Fraser Island Hi Tamsin, Jill mentioned your blog so I thought I'd have a look. Sounds like you're having an amazing time - isn't Frazer Island beautiful? I was there the day we got the news that Tony Blair had been elected in 1997. Seems like yesterday! Hope all continues to go well and do get in touch if you need anything prior to arriving in Malawi - although I'm sure that all seems like a long, long, long way off just yet. All the best, Julie |
| 14th November 2006 DDLL | Bungee jump withdrawl symptoms - From: Cairns with Karen and Efrat So you had to look for an aeroplane ! I see travel counts as work rather than holiday ? |
| 14th November 2006 Stella | Ahh - From: Cairns with Karen and Efrat Great to see that you are diving! the club will be so proud!! |
| 14th November 2006 Mum | Not sure which is bigger - From: Cairns to Mission Beach Not ;sure which is bigger your sunglasses or the snake!! Are both the latest fashion accessories. love mumxxx |
| 13th November 2006 Raegan | Thanks - From: Mission beach to Airlie beach Thanks so much for the message you sent to the children, it has meant so much to them. Lake Malawi project week was incredibly successful, hard work and great fun. We would definitely consider doing something like this again as it had so much more meaning for the children than a Harvest Festival Assembly. Loved the bungy jumping card...hated the sunshine and cocktails comment....sickening. We all miss you Tamsin and there were lots of comments last week about how much influence you had in only two years. By the way...I sorted out the technical hitches! Love Raegan x |
| 13th November 2006 Neil | Errr, Ssssssnaaakesssss - From: Cairns to Mission Beach Ugh, that's minging. Rather you than me! xx |
| 7th November 2006 DDLL | Neil's ski holiday - From: Skiing at last So you don't think it's worth the snow tigers having a week ski in NZ ? |
| 7th November 2006 DDLL | The weather - From: Milford I dont believe you really went there. Those photos are from a picture book. It is cloudy / rainy for over 300 days per year at Milford Sound so it couldn't have been such good weather for you ! Are you doing a Donald Crowhurst ? (He pretended to sail single handed round the world and sent back false reports - I think there is a film out about him soon) |
| 7th November 2006 DDLL | Bungee jumps - From: Queenstown (to milford) I see all the other readers are too flabbergasted to make comments. If you release your legs - dont you plummet ? Do you touch the water when you reach the bottom ? Can we hire a bungee jump to put in the field for your welcome home party. Or perhaps if we attach lots of rubber bands to a high tree branch.......? |
| 6th November 2006 amy scott | safely to aussie - From: I've arrived in Cairns Hi Tamsin and Efrat, great to have caught up with you. Good to see you arranged some storage for your wintery (NZ) clothes. Have fun in the sun. :) AMY |

| 1st November 2006 Ray | Street - From: Dunedin Can't believe that street is steeper than some of the ones we saw in San Fran, but may be the perspective of the photo. My first comment on the blog, sorry for quietness. Looks like you are having an Awesome time T, am very jealous. Loving the blogs. Keep up the good work.x |
| 24th October 2006 DDLL | Reflections in the Lake - From: Lake Matherson Hello from NY As I remember it you really have to be there at dawn (which we weren't) as otherwise there is a breeze that disturbs the water. We went up by helicopter onto the glacier (which is one reason we managed to spend so much money) The Sunday Times has an article by Jeremy Clarkson about the new dog his children chose - he describes it as an expensive mongrel - as you can no doubt guess - it's a labradoodle |
| 20th October 2006 DDLL | Comment - From: Nelson It all seems very quiet so I thought I'd add a comment |
| 11th October 2006 Linsey | Hello - From: Caving and lack of Skiing Hey Tamsin, gosh I haven't been in touch for ages but I regularly keep an eye on how things are going! Feel really left behind now that Beccy has gone. I'm so glad that you are having a good time and I really enjoy reading what you are up to. The pictures are great! |
| 6th October 2006 Cake Maker | Did we do the same as you? - From: Caving and lack of Skiing The answer is no except go to Hot Water Beach and walk to Cathedral Rock - otherwise we seemed to visit different attractions. Love the baby kiwi. love Mum |
| 6th October 2006 Tamsin | optical illusion - From: Finally up to date (more or less!) its definatly more healthy than a Thai bucket as it is just a jug of water with lots of fruit in it!!! |
| 2nd October 2006 Anne | - From: Finally up to date (more or less!) Is it an optical illusion or is your third cousin drinking some kind of mega 4 litre milkshake thingy?Must be more healthy than Thai buckets, anyway. I think Pete must have been in one long endless state of innebriation... the blogs appear to have completely dried up...dehydration?... |
| 27th September 2006 Angela | video - From: Tonga Side School Glad to see your vi - de - o experience has at last proved useful. We have started planning Lake Malawi week - anything particular you want us to include? Keep having a good time and take care, Lots of love Angela xxxxxx |
| 27th September 2006 Ruckdos | Neil and Paul's Flat... - From: Finally up to date (more or less!) "Its nice to just be hanging out in a ‘normal’ house and is very like being at Neil’s and Paul’s" Does that mean there is a grumpy, half naked very hairy man ALWAYS on the sofa? ;-) |
| 27th September 2006 Mike...lost again! | Whales! - From: Whale watching Hi T, good to see you're having a great time...Whales look awesome...hopefully we'll see some in California too! Keep the photos coming, they're quality! Also, I can definitely recommend the beaches in Thailand...just try not to be there when there's a coup as parents tend to get worried...trust me!! |
| 27th September 2006 Tamsin | - From: Last few days in Vava'u Sorry photo should say from lt to rt- Me, Rynn, Becca, Anni, Matt, Stuart, Nancy, Anna and Julia |
| 27th September 2006 Neil | Updates - From: Last few days in Vava'u T, Great to get all these updates to keep us all going back here in dull, rainy UK. Please to hear that you're getting on well. Please bring me back one of those go-karts! Am very amused by the fact that you've all written your names on your hands so you can tell whose is whose! Love, N x |
| 24th September 2006 Ian and Pam | the post card we might have sent - From: Neiafu Dear Tamsin Glad to hear the kayaking trip was so successful - should come in handy on school trips! In Pembrokeshire last week we had a minor sea born adventure with spaniels viewing atlantic seals and purple sand pipers. Love Ian and Pam |
| 23rd September 2006 angela | nuts - From: Nuku'alofa - Tongatapu Thanks for the peanuts. I'm already working out how to link them in with next week's Science/Literacy/Maths/ICT....... lots of love Angela xxxxxx |
| 23rd September 2006 Anne | Rulers come and go... - From: Neiafu I think that might be quite special(?)-to have been in Tonga when the King died, he's been around quite a while I think...Something to tell your kids?!! You look very happy, and are obviously enjoying yourself. Bit worried about Pete with this 'coup' thing - tanks rumbling around Bangkok - but I think its fairly peaceful. I just hope they don't do anything provocative (- like loll around drunk in the main street after curfew.....)oh dear..... |
| 22nd September 2006 Heather | Just a quick hi - From: Neiafu Hi Tamsin, We're enjoying your blog and especially the pictures. Glad to hear you're doing well and meeting lots of travel buddies. Can't wait to hear about New Zealand next! xoxo, Heather |
| 22nd September 2006 Cake Maker | From your mummy - From: Nuku'alofa - Tongatapu Look forward to more on the island. Tongan Royal family not having much luck. You should try and stay with local people as it helps the local economy and not foreigners who have decided to live there. First law of sustainable tourism. besides as you said on the phone they are more entertaining!! Keep enjoying it all. Are you going out into the harbour on a large yacht in Auckland - its what Dad wanted to do but they didn't listen. Like the peanuts. lots of love mum xxx |
| 21st September 2006 Pink B | - From: Sanasana Hey Tams! Sounds like you're having an amazing time out there. I leave for my travels in 2 weeks now so not long. Keep enjoying yourself and let me know if you still wanna meet in Sydney for New Year, love Beccy x |
| 13th September 2006 Anne | friends - From: Mana So pleased you've met some others - knew you would...It's just that its nice to share experiences isn't it? and when you move on you'll meet more and more different people. I think I'd enjoy that as much as, or even more than the different places! Keep on having fun! |
| 13th September 2006 Anne | funinfiji - From: Sanasana Beats first week of term-eh? I'm struggling with IEPs, Targets, AND its my assembly tomorrow.... Enjoy yourself!!!! love Annexxx |

| 9th September 2006 Cake Maker | Just back fro Italy - From: Mana Hi flew back today Sat 9th. Very sunny and lovely views of Tuscany. Will update my blog at some point. going broadband on wed 13th and have bought a skipe phone so if internet cafes have these we can talk for free I believe. Glad you are having a good time and have found lots of people to hang out with. I am taking Dorin to a dog show in Assington in a little while, not agility just fun and then collecting Tonga the kitten this evening. Dad in Holland car racing. lots of love mum |
| 6th September 2006 Tamsin | meeting - From: Mana I will email you nearer the time then. I've had a great time- of to tonga thi afternoon. See you in a couple of months x T |
| 5th September 2006 Pete Townshend | Hello!!! - From: Mana Hi Tamsin, how are you? Got your message, sorry it's taken me so long to reply. Definitely up for meeting, I'll be arriving in Sydney mid October and will be in Australia for at least 6 months. Being totally disorganised, I don't really have a set itinerary, so not sure exactly where I'll be, I would think the East coast is the best bet! Keep in touch and we can arrange that nearer the time. Glad you're having a good time so far, how's Fiji? I'd love to go there, might save up a bit in oz and shoot over there for a couple of weeks. Anyway, travel safe, take care of yourself and I'll see you in Oz!! |
| 4th September 2006 Karon | Hello! - From: Mana Hello! Am looking at your messages and photos even though tomorrow is the first day of term and I should really be reading those plans and getting myself ready for the new Owls! As you haven't written anything rude, I shall get your website up on the old whiteboard and show the kids- perhaps even get another message sent from them to you. (and I think I may be able to do that without help from Barbara!) The East coast of the USA was great, but am thinking Seattle and area around it looks pretty amazing too so am already planning my next trip! Keep on having lots of fun- we're all thinking of you! lots of love , Karon xx |
| 4th September 2006 Joe | Look up! - From: Nadi Sounds like you're having a great time. Look up Thursday afternoon as I'll be flying over your head going from Ausralia back to the states! |
| 29th August 2006 Neil | Hong Kong Phewy - From: Nadi We made it back alive from Hong Kong a few hours ago and am already sitting in the office! It was an absolutely stonking weekend in a awesome city, and Vernon was on his usual ridiculous form. I will tell you all more about it when I get more of a chance & also, I'll try & get some photos up online somehow for you to look at. Have a lovely time in the Islands. Lots of love, N xx |
| 26th August 2006 Cake Maker | Testing - From: Nadi I wrote you a long comment but it said you have to view it first, but if I log iin you get to see it immediately. so I have logged in and I am testing to see if it appears. You can read the other one too. love mum |
| 26th August 2006 Cake Maker | Hello from wet England Fri/sat 12.30am - From: Nadi Thought about you this evening and Dad and I got out the globe to see how near to you Neil was in Hong Kong. He was four lines of longitude away where as we are 13 and if you stuck a knitting needle through the globe Fiji is exactly opposite us so it would come out right next to you or even poke you in the bottom. Talking drivvle(spelling?)must be time for bed. Judith and Tony here for the weekend. Guess what - it's raining. The greatest excitement here is the boiler engineeer while servicing the thing discovered we had red diesel in the tank and not kerosene, but we haven't been blown up by it or anything. Oh yes and Ipswich won for the first time this season. Village Players BBQ here on Sunday. I have set up some weave posts in the garden for Dori - don't hold your breathe. Love you - mumxxx |

Obviously we'll only miss you occasionally but hope you are having a good time in the islands with Joe. There could be a good variant to your game in seeing how many spelling and solecisms in Cakemaker's offerings |
| 17th August 2006 Anne | Good luck! - From: First Stop Really admire you Tamsin! You'll have a fantastic time, look forward to reading your blogs (on my new laptop)...won't have time for TV, what with Pete's-James'-yours-and now YOUR MOTHER'S!!! |

| 17th August 2006 Cake Maker | Glad you arrive safely - From: First Stop Hi Tamsin - miss you like crazy but glad you got there OK. Didn't do helicopter flight today as weather no good. Had fish and chips in Frinton last night and watched play that Downeys daughter designed (well I fell asleep- so what's new). Every time a plane flies over on way to Stansted I think of you. Have fun xxxxmum |
| 17th August 2006 Neil | The Game - From: First Stop Having lost, I thought I would enter your "Spot the Spelling Mistakes" game, although it's a little harsh to pull you up these as you've been up for 20 hours, so considering that you've done well... :-) ALLOWED Nice to talk to you last night. Love to all in Seattle. Enjoy the islands xx |
