For Monnie
ReplyDeleteWe are now back - it was sooooooooo wonderful to talk to you and find out all your news. I a can't belive you are on your final phase. Just packed up the car so much stuff - daddy just looked at the luggage and the back of the boot and I as unsual just got on with it and loaded it up! You can just imagine it. Lots of puffing. I am going down to Dorset for two weeks now. George is coming for one. Rusing down to pick up the dogs - can't wair to see my husband - he will be in a bit of a stress to say don't leave me here again!!!
We have booked the schinder for 15 days next year!!! daddy will not be coming out for the full time so I thought you should come at the beginning so we can have a relax - you can obviously stay for the 2 weeks - its up to you. We have only booked two junior suites with an interconnecting door - the room like our usual one - so at some stage the baby will have a camp bed.
Saw your green hair! hope it goes back to your normal brown!!!
Rushing off now darling. Aunty Mads late - typical - will blog later once I'm in Doooooooorset. Love you more than ever and big fat kisses. Love mummyxxxxxxxxxx
Hi lieve Tessa,
ReplyDeleteWhat a good party you seem to have had, great fun! And soo nice to speak to you and hear your voice! Hope your last project will be fun aswell. Cant believe its nearly over, it has gone quick for us , so it must be even quicker for you. We cant wait to go to Kiawah, weather is not so good, hope up some sunshine. Dad is sorting out the phonecard and will tell you on this blog. Big kisses and hugs, Mummy

ReplyDeleteFor My Mate James H...
ReplyDeleteHow you doing fella? Looks like you are having a hell of a time. Wish I could have been doing the awesome things you have, instead of crawling my way through dissertation. Just thought I'd say I miss you and hope you enjoy the next couple of weeks.
Much Love

For Tessa:
ReplyDeleteHi lief. Ik heb de laatste 4 dagen aan de elefoon gezeten met ATT, maar nu werkt de Calling Card weer. Crazy. Ik ben (aleen)in Kiawah, Manfred, erik,etc zijn weer weg, Mam en Lisette komen morgen (woensdag) avond. Ik kreeg net jouw brief(en) hier! Great fun, jij schrijft leuk, en ja, ik bewaar ze!
Ben benieuwd hoe het gaat met de (nieuwe) groep, gek dat het al bijna afgelopen is!
Ik neem aan dat je weet dat on tel nummer hier 8437683848 is.
Veel liefs,
Papa
voor Maud: hai lieverd, come stai ? ben heel benieuwd hoe je nieuwe project is. Hier alles OK. Duco in Paris = heftig aan het lessen maar onder controle.het logeeradres is een beetje freaky maar geniet van de stad. Just zat het weekend met zijn huis in Madrid, belde op alleen om te zeggen dat hij nieuwe schoenen had gekocht en Elisabeth is gewoon in Leiden = hard aan het werk en aan het roeien voor de grote 100 km wedstrijd. Ik moest zondag spelen in vreselijk slecht weer brrr. het blijft hier maar regenen. erg saai. Dus Ot ligt de hele dag op de bank = luilak. nou lieverd, geniet van je laatste weken en schrijf wel alles een beetje op. ook foto's maken. dikke zoenen H
ReplyDeleteHi lieve Maud!!! hoe gaat het met je?? Hier alles goed! Ben gister teruggekomen van trainingsweekend in Groningen en dat was echt te gek! We hebben heel veel geroeid, veel geleerd en hebben helemaal de vibe te pakken. Die 100 km moet dus wel lukken... hoe gaat het verder met jou? Doe je allemaal leuke dingen? Maak je veel mee? Ben benieuwd. Take care, liefs xxxxxxxxxxE
ReplyDeleteMessage for Laura:
ReplyDeleteello ello!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOVELY!!!!!!!!!
man! that's a bit frickin awesome to be spending your bday out in India. I'm soooo india-sick, its unreal. I just want to be back out there with you guys, but I can't believe you're all coming back so soon now!
I'm thinking I'm gonna keep my distance from you and wait til your tan fades enough for me not to feel quite so albino :] then we can meet up lol.
Hope you're having an awesome day and I'll be sure to have a birthday present for you when I grace you with my presence back in rainy/cold/hailing/snowing england.

Message for James:
ReplyDeleteHi Ranger Jimbo!!!
Just accepted your facebook add, pursued a little bit of facebook stalking and went through a couple of your pics. hahaha CLASSIC!
made me feel like i should leave you a message on the blog :]
I hope you're having a frickin awesome time in India still. Hope you're not getting bitten and too sunburnt! lap the lotion on boy! ha!
i was reading through some of my diary from the trip (hope you're keeping yours up by the way-judging from past efforts, I'm a little doubtful lol) and read the one about us playing Slam! and how we both suffered a bad case of "celebratory syndrome" so we forgot to slam the smallest pile of cards hahaha. awesome! good times :]
goooood luck for your week of travels after this, and I hope you have an amazing time with your family. I'm sure they'll be stoked to see you!
As will I when you finally get your behind back in the country.
Cannae wait to see you.
Take care Jimbo.
