Mumtraveller's Guestbook

You do get around!
Hi Lynne - what a lovely post. I must say that you look very glam in your 'going out to dinner' photos! The Rabbit Casserole sounds delicious. I can tell you are revelling in the great weather and fantastic company. Anthony & I are literally just off the plane back from 7 weeks in South America (Peru in Machu Picchu, Bolivia, Argentina and Iguazu Falls in Brazil). I did email you as part of an update but of course, I had the wrong email address on our laptop as I forgot to update it after the 'hacking/new email address' incident. Some time ago you wrote to ask after Edward. After his bone marrow transplant, he improved significantly but the day he was checked out from the hospital, he got a fungal infection which meant daily trips to the hospital for several months. After some very stressful months (particularly for Mum & Warren who had to be at the hospital every day) he is finally on the mend from the infection and just the other day received some very good news that his blood is free of leukaemia cells. Whilst it's early days yet, this is obviously good news. Thanks for your kind thoughts and asking after us. I'm sure it will be quite a while before you come back here but remember that you are always welcome and we look forward to meeting you face to face one day!

Valetta
Hi Lynne Good to hear from you while we are in Wellington again for another weekend with the newly engaged. Valletta is often on the cruise ship itineraries so we might well get there before too long. Ruth and Tim are going to travel a while before they get married so Mac and I will not be sitting still as you can imagine!! Have just had an offer of an exchange to go back to the Australian Open tennis next January so think we will accept that. Melbourne is always appealing! Take care. Jocelyn & Mac xx

love the superlatives
lynne - thanks for a brilliant blog- england put on an amazing event- so happy for everyone involved. even the experience from afar was tremendous and certainly made even better by your first hand experience.

Looks and sounds like you had great fun at the hostel, I love the pic of you at the top! x

hols
your photos are fantastic as usual! now i am retired i feel sure i will be taking some for my travel blogs sooooooooooooon...........see you in sweden! love

What memories!!
Hi Lynne It's been great seeing your photos of Italy! There were so many places that we had visited in 2009. It was like being there all over again. You are so lucky to be so near to that part of Europe. You seem always to be traveling somewhere these days but if we were over there we would do exactly the same. It's really hard staying home for a year!! Take care Jocelyn

Hi Lynne
I'm enjoying your trip around Italy. It brings back fond memories.

thurs
well........i have to admit with the lovely blue sky it is a big improvement on UK! Talk about 'carpe diem'!!! and a quick change of plan!!! well done xx just had 3 days diving in Oman, damaniyat islands........wonderful....dolphins, leopard shark, octopus, sea horses.........the list goes on..... not yet booked a flight back to UK but hopefully about 8th july......definitely before sweden!! hugs

you made the best decision to forgo Gloucester- with, no doubt, its attractions- but how can it compare with the delights of Tuscany.And perfect timing girls! San G looks to be an example of quintessential medieval Italy- definitely a must for us-again??

Sunshine
Beautiful photos - but we have enjoyed a lovely sunny warm day!

Rainy days of the heart
Hello Lynne what a great idea to brighten my day!! It wasn't too bad but a bit of a sticky patch here at the moment. Will tell you more later on email. Look forward to hearing about Italy. Wonder which area of the country you are in? NZ very focused on the global financial crisis. Can't seem to get a break from it all. Take care Jocelyn

confusion!
Dear lynn, I have been to Arlette today and I have had this strange mail from Manilla; I was confused not to be able to help you today but as I read Arlette's blogmail you sent her, I realised this was phishing; thank God you are safe and at home; I hope you are well; I am off to Amsterdam tomorrow; rings a bell? love, Michele
