| 4th February 2007 Cameron | - From: Russian Orthodox christmas & Kungur ice caves Hey guys havent heard from you in a while. Glad that you got your white Christmas in the end. Hmm, father frost and the new year pig, sounds interesting! One of the many cultural differences that I am sure you are experiencing. We have recently had a cold spell in the UK, but no snow on the Wirral (boo hoo!). Well, I have decided to throw my career in as a science technician and have started to apply for PhD's. Probably a bold move seeing that I couldnt think of anything worse this time last year! Take it easy guys and stay WARM! |
| 3rd February 2007 laura | wow - From: Russian Orthodox christmas & Kungur ice caves it just looks incredible! I hope youre enjoying it! i had a dream about u last night- you went to china but the chinese police took jims passport away, then you came home claire to tell me! and to get some more hand cream!!!!! then u went back, but were worrying that you would not be able to climb this mountain in time because at 4pm the chinese killed women on this mountain! really random! it sounds though your trip is not nearly as interesting as my dream! haha just kidding, it looks amazing guys. miss u. ps i REALLY want to know about china-so update as soon as poss xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |

| 27th December 2006 Helen | Jealous.. - From: St Petersburg and Christmas!!! Hi guys, so so jealous, sounds like you're having a fab time! Wish I could do more travelling.. (sigh) Must have been quite odd not having xmas in the UK - think I may go away for xmas next year just to do something different. Got back from skiing with the snake on the 23rd which was just absolute comedy, but somehow it was me and not him that came back injured - a first. Anyway, take care, if I don't check emails any time soon, have a fab New Year and keep us posted! Hopefully piccies soon! Helen xxx |
| 26th December 2006 mammy | Merry Christmas and Happy New Year - From: St Petersburg and Christmas!!! Hi Claire and Jim It sounds like you are having an amazing time. I have entered you in the Whitley Bay Ice Skating Championships, Tell Jim he should not have worried about going through the ice I am sure his head would still have been above the ice !!!!!!! I know Christmas has now passed but do you really think it is necessary to eat santa's reindeers !!!! It was lovely to hear from you on Christmas Day everyone wishes you both a merry christmas. Keep updating your travelblog we are sooooo impressed with you both. Miss you loads and yes we will be at home to receive your call if you can manage to ring home. Love you Mam, Dad and Hayley xxxxxxxx |
| 24th December 2006 Cameron | Happy Christmas! - From: Helsinki and beyond! Sounds amazing! Next time I get the opportunity I will try and sleep in a door way, I really didnt think it was possible! Wishing you both a merry Christmas! (hope its a white one) |
| 20th December 2006 Mark & Bev | Bbrrrrrrrrr soon - From: Everyone should come to Stockholm... Hi Claire, Sounds like you have both been having a good time in Sssshhhhveeeden, dont worry about the snow cos I am sure once you get to Russia all will change and you will think that there is only one colour left in the world........"WHITE", but if it is a bit cold in Russia a wee drop of Russian Vodka can help to melt a few brain cells to keep you from thinking your cad. Look forward to seeing your pics of the Sveedish chefdy lordydoyd. Ok I will close for now but I will visit your site as often as I can, say hi to Filias Fog for me if you bump into him. Take Care and stay safe Mark & Bev |
| 18th December 2006 SamBo | Hiya!! - From: Everyone should come to Stockholm... You haven't been gone a week, and seem to have done so much, it sounds lush!! I will keep logging on as much as I can to get updates and will give you an update of new year etc when I can. Take care of each other and have fun! Sam x x |
| 18th December 2006 mammy | Hellooooooooo - From: Everyone should come to Stockholm... Hi Claire and Jim Sounds like you are having a great time. I like your style of getting free food although you do realise that you could have taken advantage of all the free food given out at the metro centre at this time of year. You didn't really have to go all the way to Stockholm for that!!!!!! Glad everything is going well for you both I can tell you are both loving every minute of this trip so far. (Jim don't get too concerned about carrying all your thermal clothes around I am sure it is going to get very cold soon and you are going to be glad you have them) Also I know it is a pity about the lack of snow in Stockholm at the minute but perhaps that is good news really because, Claire would have wanted to do something dangerous and you would have just been dragged along and made to join in!!!! Looking forward to seeing your photos when you get the chance to post them on your site. Keep safe, take lots of care of yourselves, Love to you both mam xxxxxx |
| 18th December 2006 Laura | sounds lovely - From: Everyone should come to Stockholm... it sounds really nice- it must feel so good just to be free to wander around and just do nothing!
