Hey chu guys Hi guys! Just been reading up on your travels so far - it looks amazing! So jealous! Think of us all stuck in ol'Blighty with this miserable old weather. We did have rather a lovely BBQ sess on the Nomads car park this weekend B.E.A.UTIFUL! Missing you both loads - I drove past the house last night after work (proper stalker sty-lee!) and visited the best Bab 'n' Chips shop round the corner...TAKE THE SHAME - the guy behind the counter ASKED why he hadn't seen me in a while!! I had to explain how I won't be frequenting the Brenchley Drive Manor due to your epic journey! So at least I have one benefit in your going away - I can 'keep the weight off'! Love and miss you both loads. Speak soon. P.R.B x x x x
Dinner loked Yum Yum!! Hey Fitties!!! God i am jealous.. looks AMAZING!!!!!!! Missing you loads back here, feeling rather gutted that your eating 9 course meals and I am sat at my desk eating an apple!!!! Sounds like you are having such a wicked time.. loving the photos, especially the arty farty ones- Nice job marky mark! All is well back in reality, LSOH going well. Charlie is doing a fab job and we had Si on Sun ( oh err!) Missing my willy wanging and 'rubbish' but you'll be glad I am not being a numpty! Speak soon love Yum xxxxx

Jealous Hi guys. Looks like you're having a great time. the photos are fab, takes my mind off revision for my exam. Only a tiny bit jealous, but thanks for sharing your adventure with us all. Have fun
Paul and Claire
Amazing times ahead! HI Guys, was wicked to see you both before you left. It looks like you are having an amazing time already, it will be like travelling with you reading this. Hope you hade a fab birthday Chrissie. Make sure you have THE best time and look forward to seeing what your up to next xx
great start Lovely to read all about your experiences so far in Japan...sounds like you're already into the local food - raw fish is their staple diet isn't it. Like the photo of Chrissie on her birthday - did you get the card Chrissie. We're fine - Ruth and Paul, Hannah and Katie are in Val Claret next week so will hear any news from Haresfield. Look after yourselves and continue to enjoy Japan. Lots of love to you both M and D
Intrepid explorers Glad you survived the first treacherous 1/4 mile - must have been hell out there!!! - What a fantastic start. I have to admit that some of the food sounds as though it comes from the song by Clinton Ford - the Old Bazzar in Cairo. (I'm sure Chrissie remembers it!!!!). Beebee is puurrrfectly at home and regularly goes on Garden Patrol seeing off all the local cats - bit of a bully really.
Have fun and take care.

No news yet Hope all goes well. How is Japan2/3 days in? Hope you had a very happy birthday Chrissie.
We are fine, we are having a gorgeous week 30cm of new snow at the w/e and lovely sunny weather since with gorgeous snow!! Mum even skied the Face yesterday, the snow was so good.
Only 8 guests this week so not too demanding. We had a lovely week with Karl Johanna and BOb last week although the weather wasn,t great and Jo damaged her knee on the 3rd day, missed a couple of days the was very tentative.
Paul and Ruth from next door are coming out this w/e so we hope to see something of them. They are staying in an appartment in Val Claret for the week.
Anyway we are fine and are just about to go out sking on our day off having had a bit of a lie in.
Lots of love to you both
Mum and Dad
exciting times!! Wow!! You're probably in your first exciting destination by now, can't believe how the time has gone! You are going to have the most amazing time. Can't wait to catch up with you both in Thailand, Vietnam or Cambodia, never know it might be all three!! 'Chrissie with a house'? Maybe it should be 'Chrissie with a backpack' or 'Chrissie with a guide book' now!!
Bon Voyage We will be thinking about you on Monday as you begin your fabulous adventure. Have lots of fun and stay safe. We will miss you heaps but look forward to catching up on the blog and especially when you return. Loads of love Primmy and Ped xx
so how is the plan? Hey guys! Hows the plan looking so far? School have asked us to sort out our summer flights so I'm wondering if you know when you are going to be in Vietnam and Cambodia. I've got flights booked to Bangkok, leaving on 1st july, returning on 20th aug, but i should be able to get the school to pay for onward flights as well. It would be so cool to meet up with you married folks!
Anyway, hope to hear from you soon,
lots of love,
