  3. Hi Emmi,
    I don't think my last comment worked so I'll try again!
    It looks like you're having an amazing experience over there. The temple looks absolutely stunning! You also look like a very accustomed trekker in your kathmandu trousers and walking boots:). Haha about the long-drops is all I will say. Just haha.
    It all looks like it's going well - which must be a relief after the mini arrival dramas!:)
    This has to be quick as I have an hour and a half to finish my presentation, but I thought I would have a little break and have a quick look at what you're up to:). I've sent you a letter containing gossip that will blow your mind. Possibly the biggest gossip of our year. Hopefully you'll get it soon - I posted it on Monday:).
    lots and lots of love,
    Sarah xx
