Nice one!
Hey M, you sold it to me! Very well written I must say, perhaps your vocation could be a writer?? Sounds like a very nice way of easing into travelling mode, well done guys, and enjoy the next step x

G'Day!
Hi Fiona! While you were packing your swim suits I was turning out 20 years' worth of M&S receipts, tons of spare buttons from the M&S clothes and other stuff from my dressing table drawer. I found an Echo article from several years ago with your photo on. How weird! Thanks for including me on your blog news. I will look forward to reading about what you are doing. I'm off to Spain on the 18th. Not quite as exotic or warm but still better than this climate. Have a fantastic time Down Under. You won't want to come back! Have a good journey. Jane

It's over
Great story telling over many months ... well done to you both. Hope you cope when you come back to earth (well, Essex), with a bump.

Lift Home
Hi you two, Looks as if you are both really enjoying yourselvs and all is going very well. We have all enjoyed reading your bloggs and looking at all, the photos. I can see that you may not want to come home but you must miss a lot of people even if you have made lots of new friends. I will be able to meet you at the airport if you have not got any other offers. looking forward to seeing you both very soon. Lots of love Dad X X

Your name for the Cathedral is in need of...

John Wayne rides again - get off your horse and drink your milk!
Hi M and F what fantastic scenery you've both seen this time - breathtaking stuff. Glad to know that you have recovered from your illness M and are now feeling well again. The sight of that bald eagle must have made you jump for joy F - I know it would have done if it had been me. You've also seen the famous rocks that appear in so many westerns - did you keep looking to see if you were being chased by Indians as you crossed the plains? Well must sign off now but just want to wish you a very happy birthday for Sunday M - have a great time (don't forget to open your card). Lots of love to you both Mum/Daphne xxx

Hi
Still going great guns!Love the video...question,why the appalling Swedish accent,Mike? lol.....only joking,I know it was South African....keep well guys! Andy

Snow
Thank goodness you didn't get stranded in the snow. Not quite the cosy littl number as back here in London. All the buses ground to a halt - wouldn't have happened in Russia! We've started this restaurant club, where each month we go to a restaurant from a different country, with a different lettered country each month - it's B next month, so should be a bit further on by the time you get back. We tried Afghan the first month - lots of lamb and yoghurt based foods but was good. Some was very spicy though. Sounds as though you are keeping well - Sophie has had her neck hurt by the chiropractor she went to. It's recovering now but a slow process. Mum came round for lunch a cople of weeks ago. And we had vegetable lasagne - gorgeous it was. James and Viv have got engaged as well. Apparently Mandelson let rip into Starbucks today - sounds as though it could have been a bit like the Joe Kinnear rant after he joined Newcastle. Arsenal are still in the Cup (good win over Cardiff the other night). You probably know that though what with the internet and all. Unlike when I was in Russia, when the papers were delayed by a month. At least you wont come back thinking you've won the Premiership like I had (you're not having the best run there at the moment). Lost to the Welsh at the rugger - good game though. Roger and Colette are well happy though. In terms of sports - will you try to get to see anice hocey game? Anyway, enough of this gabbling. Have a safe time and look forward to the next blog.

Gators, crocs and all that Jazz!
Hi you two what a great time you're both having! The Everglades sounds so exciting with all the wonderful wildlife (gators,crocs and beautiful birds - enough to make Crocodile Dundee envious). NO was certainly an experience especially hearing all that live music in the hometown of Jazz! So glad you caught up with F's family in Texas, sounds as though it was great fun. Can't wait for next blog. Take care. Luv you lots. Mum/Daphne xx

a good read
Super account, brings it all to life. Keep it up! Chris

Are you OK?
Hi both. We're beginning to wonder what's happened to you both?! Three weeks and no news. Hopefully the gators haven't got you. Looking forward to some news soon and where you've been. US must have been Obama mad recently. Went to go and see some dance on Saturday. Some of it was fanastic, even some of the hiphop stuff. There was some acrobatics that had to be seen to be believed. Met up with Nan a couple of weeks ago which was good as hadn't seen her for ages. Little Alex is growing up quickly. Hope you're not going to put any naked pictures of yourself onto the blog - the sight of Michael with his shirt off was enough to turn my stomach. Whatever will Mum say. But suppose it's better to do that sort of thing over there that on a freezing day in the north east. Hope all is well.
