13th October 2008 Ali	Thank you - belatedly! - From: go places! meet people! do things! Sorry I have been remiss and not posted any comments for a while. It sounds as if you've had a turbulent few weeks and got to know the toilet facilities in Malawi! Thank you so much for my gorgeous birthday present - it has already become a firm favourite! Really looking forward to seeing you very soon. Look after yourself and take care. Big Sis xxx
2nd October 2008 Rob	Abba?!?! - From: mountain top homestead stay 'Thank you for the music'..? Good lord.... Next they'll be doing Bucks Fizz's 'Making Your Mind Up' I hope you taught them a verse of A Design For Life instead.
7th September 2008 Big Sis	How's Malawi? - From: 2 weeks off It was great to speak to you when Mum and I came over to see Em for the weekend and apologies for not sending you any messages recently. I hope that all is going well in Malawi and that you will still be able to communicate via the blog as it's keeping me entertained and making me plan my own career diversion! Look after yourself and hope to speak to you soon. x
29th August 2008 mother in law to be	- From: mountain top homestead stay Hello Milicent good to read all your news it sounds like it's getting a bit boring (not) we are at the moment transforming the garden so you will feel at home when you get back it's a kind of African feel to it included in it is two very wild cats ! and a blonde tour guide .

18th August 2008 nearly mother in law	- From: Quad biking Did you meet Ewan and Charlie whilst you were off biking ? Sounds like it was awesome! We went off roading in the merc on holiday - following Ems directions Ha Ha take care xxxx
18th August 2008 nearly mother in law	- From: kruger park Hi Martin it's good to read your blog and keep up with all your news. It must seem a bit surreal seeing all the animals in the own environments rather than the sad looking animals we saw in enclosure at the various zoos and rain forests we visited in the IOW. We made sure we covered the whole islan within the week we were there. We were all surprised at the constant references to the dinosaurs! Slightly bigger than the animals you are encountering! All is well at home, Em is missing you terribly but Elvis is making a daily fuss of her for you, and of course I am trying to give her grief every day. Well you take care of you. Happy travelling.x
14th August 2008 Rachel	All Sounds Truly Amazing - From: Quad biking Hiya Martin - all that you've been up to sounds amazing!! Am really enjoying hearing about all you've been up to. So much so, that me and my sis are presently looking into booking South Africa trip to include Kruger Park in November/December, as have over 2 weeks off then and can get to Jo'berg for £75 with Virgin. If you know of any tour companies that you can recommend would be great to know, as there are just sooo many to choose from, is really pot luck. Looking forward to your next installment. take care and keep safe Love Rach xxxx
14th August 2008 Dino	- From: Quad biking Aah...african beer, I remember trying that on a school trip once, "acquired taste" is being a bit generous from what I remember!! This quad bike trip sounds great, might give that a try myself once I'm home. Really happy to hear you're enjoying yourself, your description of the animals has reminded me off all the things I took for granted living in africa.... made me even more desperate to be home!! cheers! D
14th August 2008 DW	Mate - From: Quad biking Sounds like you're having quite the adventure! Thanks for (& keep up) the updates - it's really interesting reading what your up to.
11th August 2008 Lynsey	Photos?? - From: kruger park So where are all the fantastic pics then?? Glad you're having a great time, very jealous of the big cat encounters - seeing a leopard is so lucky!

10th August 2008 Al & Penn	Postcards from an Uncle.... - From: kruger park the boys were really excited when your postcards arrived, Al thought he looked like the lion and the other one was representative of me? rhino? can't quite see it myself.....? P-all is quiet and good here, getting the house more in shape - took a jewelery course (silversmithing) and gave me incentive to clean out the workshop. have made a few rings and things.. A-oh well at least if she gives up on that, then the workshop is cleared out! anyway - as always its great to hear about what you are up to, sounds a bit more exciting than here, the only wild animals we see round here are Charlie and Sam. P- i start my new job at Lloyds (guy at works thought it was said ler-loyds ha ha) in 3 weeks and counting, first week of sept! hope all continues to go well, sounds like hard work...
8th August 2008 Denis	Awesom stuff - From: colonic irrigation Awesom stuff, Martin! I follow your adventures all the way from Kalamazoo... I can't wait to see the pictures, have you tried to connect the memory card straight to the laptop, rather than through the camera? It should work without drivers...

1st August 2008 mother in law from heaven.	- From: colonic irrigation Really good to hear all your news it sounds absoulutely fabulous. Cant wiat to see some photos. Have you found me a giraffe yet? Emma is fine we are looking after her, she has put on two stone and is looking really healthy ! We have had lots of retail therapy and spent millions, the house has been fully refurbished and looks as beautiful as Emma. Elvis has been really good only destroying some of the new furnishings. We spent the day redesigning the garden and you wont recognise it when you get back. Struggled to spend a whole day shoping in Canterbury as the Merc had to go in to be looked at for our forthcoming trip to the Isle Of Wight which we are all really looking forward to. Bagheera and Bella are recovering nicely from their ops, pleased thats over with! Well you take care of you must rush the shops are still open. Take care lots of love from Lynnxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
