Away Again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you not keep your backside on a chair for five mins..... galavanting again. Must say it looks lovely. Now the romance side is puzzling me..... Was Viv not your old girlfriend....... I thought you had moved on to someone else that you met when you were away. I need the gossip and if Viv is the old girl friend then has it moved on a notch with the old case of absence makes the heart grow fonder..... Put me out my suspenders oop suspense. Ali x

Utopia
Brazilia est une ville que j'aurai beaucoup aimé visiter. Construire une ville en partant de rien et au milieu de nulle part, c'est réaliser une utopie formidable. un peu de folie peut etre...

A year ON??????
Hey Matthew, I thought I'd type a quick message to thank you for sharing us your adventures and fantastic work in Lanuza and Southern Philippines. I just wondered how you are getting on with life back home here in the UK a year on after such fab time and hard-work in The Philippines. It would be great to just hear what you are up to now these days. I am contemplating on going back to my homeland in the next couple of years to do a soul-searching intrepid travel. I really want to hear your stories of southern Philippines as I am originally from up north and have never ventured down south. I would be grateful if you could e-mail me and let me know if this is possible. I don't know where you live in the UK but I am in Brighton. All the best and hope to hear from you shortly!!! Loumer

blog deprivation
Well Matt, Youv'e done it all...... and I feel I have lived all the moments with you. It has been great to read about all your travels etc and I will now need to get a travel brochure out so I can flick to places of far flung adventure. Hope you arrive back safe and well and is it a case of 'gees a job I can do it' or do you have something lined up with the old FC..... Take care love Ali x

Yellow!
Hi Matt, Guess what, we found Splits at the weekend in West Lancs YC dinghy park. Not being sailed due to a Laser 12hr race being on, but looked well... Might even be able to get her back when you get home!

Thanks for your great work in Philly. From a Filippina abroad.

To new adventures
Great job you did in the Philippines and thanks for sharing. Good luck on your new adventure!
15th April 2008

Take that!
The rains must be an expression of loss for someone who has shared a slice of his life to Lanuza and is now leaving! You have given more hope to the people of Lanuza. What you have left is an indelible mark in their hearts and minds. Home is where the heart is. I know when you get back to Lanuza... you would be home... again! And Lanuza would be rushing to welcome you back. Good luck!

'Twas 2 Years Already?!
I'm your avid reader and fan! Couldn't believe that you're leaving the Philippines soon. Just look how you have spent those days. What precious days those were. Very precious for those whose lives you have touched. What you have done would be remembered by the people you've met. One corner of the world became a better place to live because you have shared yourself to others. You will be remembered with fondness too by those people you have not even met. Like me. I will remember you for doing things that I have not dared even think of doing. I'll remember you for giving your heart to my countrymen. Thank you very, very much. With all my admiration and respect, I wish you better years ahead and a very fruitful life. More power to you!

Excellent
So good to feel some involvement with that community. Great stuff. The experience with the police will prepare you well for returning to the FC!
