Happy Homecoming!
Greetings from Australia, Sydney sends its love to you all. Had a good flight (luckily not on the Quantas one!), although a bit jet lagged. It's great to be back and having a fab time. Have been to Bondi & Manly, & today have visited some friends of Richard's in Surrey Hills. Off to Port Macquarie on Tuesday.

Hello folks! Hope you've enjoyed your last week in Canada, all the best for a safe and hassle free journey back to Blighty on Friday. Just in case you didn't get last email, AnneLouise, yes you can definitely put me down as a second referee for jobs.
Lots of love and hope to see you soon! Sue xxxxxxxxx more…

Dear All it just doesn't seem 12 months since you set off and there's 2 weeks left. I'll wait for the book to come out. I've looked at your sight occasionally and thought about you often. It's obvious that you all have been very blessed by the opportunities you have had. Take care on the final leg of the journey and may God be with you!

Dearest Brother

I have just reread your blog and comments, blah blah, and noticed that I have told u that my birthday is on Wednesday - well I must have had ferry-lag or something as I have just realised my birthday is on Tuesday and not Wednesday as previously stated. As for us - I am all for a splash of capitalism - just hope David more…

Lisa you Nutter

Prezzies? don't know what you are talking about, we have shunned all capitalist thoughts since all growing dreadlocks and starting to busk. They are a form of surpression pressed upon us by the rulling classes of hallmark et al.

NOTE WELL

This last just the month of July. My birthday in August more…

Hi AL J,R and E.
Thought I'd better send a message before you cross me off the address list.
Love reading your messages, it sound absolutely fantastic I'm travelling in my head. We will never have the money as as fast as I earn it (so much the breadwinner you know!) Andrew thinks of something else he needs. At the moment we have had a more…

Well, you're still away then. Not sure why you have to go to all this trouble for a holiday. We've just returned from a week in Wales. It rained every day but we didn't let that spoil our fun. We did some coasteering and surfing and carried our (your) bikes all the way there on the car roof and went out on them once. Still I enjoyed the rows w more…

Hi Jonathan,
I'm glad you've been finding out about my namesake Sir Edmund, although I think you'll find he spells his name with two l's. I expect you were subconsciously thinking of me and wishing I was with you in NZ! I remember being a bit alarmed by the number of people that appear to die on Mt Cook so probably a good job you stuck to t more…

I've been looking at all the wonderful sunny pictures by the beach and feel very envious! We are waiting in vain for some hot, sunny weather.

We had a good half day at Leeds Castle in Kent when we actually had our coats off!! Howev more…
