ReplyDeleteGreat to hear from you this morning and enjoyed the video - you all seem to be having a great time. To bring you up to speed - the funds will be in your bank by the end of the week. Are you able to sort out change of return flight yourself? Let me know if you have a problem. I have sent an email also if you are able to pick it up. Enjoy the rest of your travels and be in touch soon to let me know about your ticket. Lots of love, Mom x x x x

ReplyDeleteHi Kiki,
Had a great day yesteray at Emilie's farewell bash before flying out to Bangkok. BBQ went really well and the weather was perfect. Dad went out and bought yet another wooden table so we were able to seat everyone on the decking in one go. A Sandy & U Stephen took Emilie to the airport about 6 and the others left just after (A Tanya ended up coming as a surprise and Thea got up at 6 in the morning to catch a train down from Manchester - BIG surprise for Em and there were lots of tears!). No news from her yet & A Sandy is worrying because there are riots in Bangkok at the mo & the Foreign Office have advised tourists not to go. Her plan was to stay in Thailand 2 months but those plans may change. She has set up a website so you'll be able to log on and check up on her once she's underway. Weekend made even better because I logged on and saw a video of the changeover fete and caught a glimpse of you several times in the tug-of-war and conga. Great! Will email more news so look out for it next time to get access to the internet. Love Mxxx
Hi David (Smith) Charlie 3
ReplyDeleteJust watched the Changeover Video - great fun. Good shot when you were throwing your sponge. Poor Mark, but at least he must have stayed cool! I now know it was a pot of hot-dog sausages you are looking at in one of the photos from the fete :-)
Hope the project is going well, and you are enjoying every moment of your last weeks in India. Much love Ma x x x x

Hi Lauren Pegg (tango 6),
ReplyDeleteI heard your laugh!!!! It was so lovely to hear you gaffawing again! It was definitely you laughing at the wet sponge being thrown at a chap and thank you for wearing that stripey dress as it makes it so much easier to search you out in the photos and the video. I hope the trek isn't as bad as you thought it may be and that you are enjoying it and doing well. As Auntie JJ said, at least your boots would have been worn in.
Get in more photos Lolly, as we all want to see lots more of you.
Kisses and hugs from this end to you, Mother Ducks xxxxxxx
Message for Paula Brocki
ReplyDeleteHi Sweetheart,
The video is great and you all look as if you had great fun, i have to say i did hear you shouting before i saw you in the tug of war ha ha but well done.
Weather has changed today and has been rainy in parts and a little overcast. Uncle Martin and Helen finally got back to Blighty late on Friday evening(1 week Late) not that uncle Mart was to unhappy about that, Helen was hoping they may have to drive instead of taking the flight just so she could call and get some Champagne on the way home, i think my bad habits are rubbing off on her.
Anyway look forward to seeing more videos.
Take Care of yourself and looking forward to seeing you soon.
Love you always.

Until the next misive

Hi David, Good video, just saw you once doing the Conga!!I will send off those forms from OB for you to fill in, you may have to send them back to me so that I can send the other proof with them.Let me know what you are up to when you get back to fieldbase etc. Love and miss you Mum xxx

Message for Merel Loonstra Charlie 2
ReplyDeleteHa Apie,
Wat een echt lekker Merel verhaal zeg! Zal het goed doen als je gaat studeren. Trouwens hier ook: wij maken er ook goede sier mee. Maar wat spannend joh! En wat bleef je goed kalm. Wij hebben genoten van je lange mail. En zijn ook trots op hoe je alles aanpakt en dat er zoveel moois over je gezegd wordt!
Er is een mail teruggestuurd. Ook van oma. Onze mail sturen we vandaag ook met de post. En mooi dat jij als allerlaatste zo’n beetje de delhy belly te pakken hebt.
Mijn moeder advies: rust, schaduw en véél water. Weinig eten dan komen de darmen tot rust. Daarna droge biskwietjes, rijst (zonder iets)en hahaha, bananen. Maar ja je zult aan de lokale adviezen van mensen met eigen ervaring al wel genoeg hebben.
Het plaatsje sultan battery is niet te vinden in de reisgids die naast je bed ligt. Al met al heb je toch veel verschillende delen van het zuiden gezien! Onthoud je alle plaatsen? Leuk om straks op de kaart nog eens na te kijken waar je allemaal gezeten hebt.
Morgen gaan we naar het afscheid van Marten in het paleis. Zal wel heel feestelijk zijn. Tante Wimke gaat ook mee.
Verder hebben we een datum geprikt voor Floor’s examenfeest: 25 juni op vrijdag. Twee dagen na jouw verjaardag. Wordt ook een feestweek dus.
Ik heb lekker een thuiswerk dagje. Volgende week start mijn nieuwe klus. Een rustige week dus en als ’t even mee zit is het mooi lenteweer. Nou lieverd, zet ‘m op de laatste paar dagen, geniet er nog even goed van, want ’t is zo voorbij…
Dikke kus van Mam & de Rest!
Hi Paula (Charlie 4 or Echo 4)
ReplyDeleteGot your email and now you say you are in Echo 4 - is this correct or did you make a mistake??
Hmmm this give a whole new view on elephants doesn't it. Well I think I still love them but at a distance - a long distance!
Anyway loved the video on the blog - that was a nice surprise - will check it out again when unc D gets home from work. Your hair looks really long!
Got an email from Unc James and he has also been following you on the website and sends his love.
Had a good weekend - Jenson stayed over on Saturday and he spoke to Amanda on the phone on Sunday "Hiya Manda - Bye Manda!" Yes he can also say 'Paula' now as well as any other words!! Say no more - but watch your language is key at the moment. Still off work until a week Wednesday - oh I could get used to this now I am getting better - wish I could afford to retire!
Talk to you soon. Love Auntie Ren X

ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you Rachel
Looks like you are enjoying some great walking and scenery
We look forward to your Indian cooking at home
Keep on trekking
Happy Birthday from Dad, Mum and Philippa xxx
Have a great day
For Tom Saville
ReplyDeleteSaw the video. Looked like fun.
We are off to Dubrovnik 5-9 May. May need to help you with travel before that. We would like to know your plans - don't know if you have picked it up but political situation in Bangkok not good. Red Shirts have been rioting and people have been killed. Airport probably OK but would keep out of city. Even airport was target of riots last year and many were stranded for days.

ReplyDeleteDear Louise,
We have discovered that as your first choice for uni is conditional, you can also have an insurance choice, which one would you like as your second choice ( we thought St Andrews) what do you think?
please let us know ASAP
We hope all is still going well,

For Lara - Tango 7
ReplyDeleteLieve Laartje !
Wat goed om je stem te horen en ook dat je weer beter voelt. Rot die knie, net nu je zo goed op kop liep ! Midden in is ook goed hoor. Ben erg benieuwd naar je verhalen en hoe je er uit ziet; je oogt smaller op die paar foto's die op de site gepubliceerd zijn! Laurens zag je op een foto in het blauwe salamanca bloesje en zei dat je er veel te mooi uitzag! Hij is veel aan het chaufferen en heeft nog even een auto van maarten's vader uit zwitserlang gehaald en daar een paar dagen skien aan vast geknoopt...
Quin vroeg al naar je en natuurlijk de hele familie.
Ik ben nu heel druk met de partij en sta op een verkiesbare plek op de D66 lijst; nr 11 ! Dat betekent heel druk nu en ik probeer controle te houden over alle emails, mijn nieuwe Website (lautje helpt) , agenda met debatten , vragen van pechtold over de gekste onderwerpen en veel lieve adviezen en steun betuigingen! Leuk zo'n nieuwe dynamische wereld.
Die moet wel ver van je afstaan als ik het zo hoor; tenten, lopen met rugzakken, geen tel of internet; waar denk je dan aan, wat houd je bezig; overleven, samen zijn , improviseren?
Ik verheug me enorm op je terugkomst en zie je in ieder geval op schiphol op 9 mei a.s Klopt het dat je je mobieltje verloren bent? Koop een nieuwe als je de kans krijgt, kun je me sms-en vanaf London; vond ik zo leuk toen je vertrok!
Lief bolletje, geen ongelukjes meer en blijf gezond en dapper!
Ik omhels je virtueel heel stevig,
Kus mam

ReplyDeleteHi Lou, just watched the latest video, it's great to see moving pictures, and I especially liked the bit of you handling the snake, you brave thing you. I know you are in a village right now, hope things are good. Looking forward to seeing you soon. Lots of love Nanny Joanxxxx
To Hattie Way (C2)
ReplyDeleteA huge thank you to Anna at FB for all her help and please could this message be passed as soon as possible.
Hi Hattie,
We have managed to change your flight. You are now booked on flight BA118 out of Bangalore on 12 May 2010 departing 07.30 arriving Heathrow T5 13.40. See your gmail for confirmation. I know this is later than hoped but no earlier seats available due I think to it being so close to date and remaining backlogged passengers due to the volcanic ash cloud. I do hope you can sort yourself out for those three days.
All well here, Benjie's just finished nights and Charlie's fine.
All love darling, Dad and Mummy
Alice Mathews - Echo 4
ReplyDeleteHi Alice,

Nothing much has changed here since the last time you heard from me. I have been taking Pia to aerobics since you left so I still have somone to talk to while you are away. She wasn't too keen on step either!!!
I am off upto Newcastle this weekend for my future sister in laws hen do. I am pretty sure there wont be any strippers so I am pretty happy about that. We are going on a boat trip though dressed in naughtical outfits we even have hats.
Anyway I will hand your over to Oli now. Take care and see you soon, love Katie x x x x

To Alice Mathews Echo
ReplyDeleteHi Aice, Just watched video of fete and it looks fun and India looks great ---what a different light - well I would say that kind of thing wouldnt I .Pia and I drinking tea - shall miss her as she goes back v. soon for revision. Everything is fine here with lovely weather , blossom etc., but will we have a Conservative gov. by time you come home.? I know you have been doing things that make all this sound very everyday so hope you are welland have enjoyed the scope of it all. Lots love Mum
Hi Amy B Echo 4,
ReplyDeleteSorry to miss your call over the weekend, we were in remotest lincolnhire but it did us the world of good. The most traffic noise came from the birds and you would have loved the cottage.
I have emailed Glastonbury as not received tickets yet and have emailed accommodation office for uni as still have not heard from them as they said we would.
Still not heard from you re whether you received your clothes you asked for so have not dared send anything else so I hope you can buy something there.
Let me know what you want to do re work experience as I can write to John. I imagine it may be better for them before the school hols start but they do need to have advance notice as they will plan a programme so that you see a variety.
We are very proud of what you are achieving out there Amy and hope you enjoy your ongoing travels out there.
Dogs fine - I was worried about H whilst away as he was unrousable one night - it turned out he was hust exhausted after a long walk. No hip stiffness. Off to be stipped this morning so they should still look quite good when you get back.
Try not to forget dads & J's birthdays.
Looking forward to seeing you.
Love you heaps,
Mum x x x
For Hattie P

To Katherine M. Hi sweetheart- jst watched the video! Looks like you,re havin great fun at basecamp!

For Duncan Sanders;
ReplyDeleteHello lovely (:
I hope you're doing well in the last part of your time in India! Keeping safe I hope (: I cant believe its so soon until I can see you again, like 1 and a half weeks. I cant wait to see you again, I have some small presents for you..you'll get them on the Monday. Along with some of your clothes..maybe aha (:
Not much is happening around home, we've got the last written part of the biology practicals next Wednesday I think, and finishing off the aspirin making. Although mine is pink..I somehow think its gone wrong. I saw Mel on friday which was nice, we chilled in costa. Shells came around on Friday aswell and we went to uffy pub for St Georges day and Shells joined in with the morris dancing. I have quite a funny video that I will show you soon (: I had a really good driving lesson yesterday.. Im finally getting to the stage where I can book a test (if I hurry up and do a theory test aha.) I'll keep you updates on my boring life on the next blog.
I know I've said it before but I really cant wait to see you! Make sure you ring/text me when you arrive safe home on the Sunday (: It was nice seeing you in the video aswell and in the pictures, it makes me smile that you're still wearing my ring (:
I miss you so so much, and I'll see you soon!
I love you with all my heart,
JJ xxxxxx

ReplyDeleteHi Tom,
Hope the last phase is going well - not long to go now. Seems like you have had a fabulous time.
Let us know your plans - seeing more of India? Off to SE Asia? Best to use Singapore or KL as jumping off point (might even have a chance for a banana leaf lunch with Krishnan!)
Take care, enjoy the last week and blog/email us when you can.
Love and miss you
