Hey Presto! Hi to you both. I was only wondering early yesterday how you were both doing and hey presto there was your blog! All looks very exciting and have been enjoying your diary (particularly the one about sharing train carriages!).
Great to have some pictures too, obviously you are making the most of the hotel wifi! Michael is currently on the RMS and due home on Sat. It continues to rain here (of course). We too will raise a glass to absent friends (all absentees were mentioned in dispatches last night at Gordon's 65th dinner so not forgotten). Continue to enjoy your adventure and keep us posted.

Great to see some photos and hear what you have been up to. Can't believe you have been gone 3 weeks already!! Keeping in touch with Kate. Have fun lots of love Sue xxxx

Jealous!! You lucky things. We would love to do that, and maybe one day.... Anyway have a great time and I'll look forward to reading all about it, while recovering from my shoulder op in November.
Having secured a rental on our property from November 3rd we are escaping to the Southern hemisphere for 6 months. Matt is taking us and our back packs to Kate and Martyn's home in Nottingham for a family celebration inc fireworks! On November 6th we fly to Hanoi in Vietnam via a night in Bangkok. Iain and I planned this a couple of months back but only found tenants a couple of weeks ago so it's been manic, booking landlord insurance, travel ins, having innoculations against everything!!
