WOW! Sounds fantastic Catherine. I'm glad you're both still enjoying yourselves. Thank yo so much for the bag. Such a nice surprise. Made me sob a bit and realise how much I miss you! Anyhow, good luck with the job. You'll both be brilliant I'm sure. Lots of love Bev x
Video clip I had already sent you an email when I found the video clip. I've always been rather slow! Thought what's this and clicked - wow. Brilliant to see it but scary too - no lollipop ladies!
Need more vid clips please - ace. Well done you. : ) : ) : )
Love Annette xx
Wow Paul and I have just read all your travel log. It sounds like you are having an amazing time, what a fantastic aardventure! We felt boring and middle-aged after reading! Looking forward to hearing more. School is not the same without you. Take care.
WOW! Hi Catherine, Hi Neil. Glad you're still enjoying yourselves. I never quite had you both down as maggot eaters but I suppose you'll do anything once! Sheffield is still the same but my new lounge is nearly ready! Feel like a jungle explorer myself the amount of mess there is! Take care x x x
Hi Beth Sorry, thought we were sending the blogs to your email address. We Must have the wrong one. Send me your new one please. And remember, you're never too old!!
what a trip! Catherine! Your journals are amazing. I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying reading them. This one was particularly gripping, and certainly brightened up a dull October day in Sheffield. What a life-changing experience your trip must be. Take care you two, Joanne xx P.S. I did think just three buffalo was bit of an insult.....
wow Hey guys, I have just found your blog and oh boy am I jealous!!! I keep thinking I am getting to old to do it but then remember that Gramps is an old boy!!! It looks amazing hard work but amazing and I hope it continues to be! Amazing that is... take care of yourselves Beth
Amazing Laos This brings back so many amazing memories! Laos was the best place i went. The hardest, but most rewarding. Doesn't sound like it has changed much in the 8 years since i have been, and yet i expect it has in so many ways. Still dodgy wooden benches for seats along roads that are worse than Sheffield's, if thats possible!
Some fantastic stories, Neil, you always seem to find the hardest route through a country!
The good news is that we have booked our tickets to NZ! We leave on 29th Jan! 1 week in San Fran then 7 in NZ with Jack n Rose. No Thailand for us :( as too much extra on the flights... oh well can't have it all, all the time!
Enjoy every minute.

Night Dive Have the Thialand Tourism board edited your blog, great description of the night dive and know I've heard it like that, thats what I thought of our night dive. Take care and enjoy
Nothing could do judtice. REEF SHARKS! FUCK THAT!!!
Well done on getting the advanced diver bit done, what does it mean? Can you now hold your breathe for long periods and swim with sea-turtles without the burden of oxygen tanks? The night dive sounds a bit scary but also very exiting!
I love reading the blog's although it is making me slightly depressed but it's a good form of aversion therapy i suppose!
Hope the teaching/working goes well! £500 is loads more than i expected! I thought it would be shinny pennies not crisp notes you would get!
Take care and safe travelling.

pale giant indeed!! Hello again to the pair of you from all here at Waterloo!! Everyone really loves the photo's and accounts of your brilliant journey! The temples look absolutely amazing and my feet are starting to itch, or maybe just my big toe!!!! And Catherine if you're a pale giant what would I be!!!!!!
Pam.
I was totally drawn in, I could have been down there with you!! except i'm in Leeds, and i'm bit scared of the water at night. Apart from these very small points I'm with you all the way! Fantastic. love Jodi x
Hi Catherine and Neil. Fab to catch up on all your adventures, so jealous of your diving expertise, guess I'll have to start taking up swimming lessons-don't think I'll be joining year four on Friday afternoons at Myrtle Springs! Safe travels look forward to your next update! Love Jackie xXx
My god how many dictionaries did u swallow!!! Every time I read your journals it makes me cry!! Don’t know why? So glad ur having a fantastic time, I don’t even want to tell u anything about my life, it’s all so dull compared to what u 2 are up 2!!! Miss u both loads and loads make sure u savour the flavour!!
loads and loads of love PS Catherine really missed u at my hen night you would have loved the quad bikes!!! xoxo
WOW!!! Howdy you both!!
Amazing pictures! It looks really spectacular! That story about the drunken canoeist made me chuckle, especially as it was Beck's hen do this weekend however i think it's pretty safe to say that there were no canoe's in sight!
Have a wonderful time and good luck job hunting! (I am not the only one! YES!!!!!!!!. Ha Ha. Adios!
WOW! Hi Catherine. Hi Neil. Once again the pictures are amazing. It looks like you're having a wonderful time. I hope you're both feeling better. Back to the grindstone here but you dont want to hear about that!!!! I went over the road the other day- found it really weird not being able to find you Catherine! Enjoy yourselves. Love Bev x x x
Not jealous really! Hi Catherine and Neil, Great to read your news, it looks amazing. Weather here been awful in August but September is warm and sunny. Looking forward to reading more about your trip cant believe you are so far away I am sure that beach does look a bit like Whitby! Love Anne xxx
Copywrite Does copywrite extend to using the 'bond photo' as a screensaver for your old class' interactive whiteboard? It looks really great wherever you may be.
Stop making me feel jealous!! It sounds like your having a really good time, you'll probably be glad to know the weather is terrible here! Me, mum, dad and Ben have just got back from camping which was very funny as it rained, thundered and we had lightning on our first night!!! Luckily it was ok the next day but I still wish I was somewhere hot like you! I also don't want to think about going back to school, the holidays have gone so quickly!! Hehe! Anyway I hope you have a really good time and we're missing you loads!
Love, Lucy xx
Jealous...us! Sounds like everything is going swimmingley and you look and sound like you have had a fab time so far. So glad you are loving Koh Tao. We loved it enough to get married there! We are enjoying the blogs loads, through our green eyes. Why doesn't Blackpool beach look like that? Imagine the wonderful sights you would see diving....ermmm not! love to you both xxxxxxx
