Hi Mum and Dad, Hope you’re both doing ok. The village we’re staying in (Netikal Hundi) is amazingly beautiful, you might be able to find pictures on the net.

The people here are really kind and generous and the digging is hard but quite satisfying. I’ll be in touch again soon. Lots of love x

HI Kezi... just read your message sitting here on side of mountain in the south of france. Last day here before we head back tomorrow. We've been white water rafting (near death experience), rubbing shoulders with the WAGS in St Tropez and yesterday met up with Gemma / Push and co for lunch and swim chez us. Jameses and Zach have now left... we are clearing up the debris and heading off into old town of Nice for lunch and a spot of retail therapy... and communing with french hordes on the plage publique. We have written to you... and will send one last letter from here before we go. HOpe all going well. Ruan says hummous (how do you spell it???) and Tegen says she's missing you. Lots of love Mum Dad Tegs and Ruan Evans (Ruan insisted on the Evans bit.... just in case you were uncertain as to which Mum Dad Tegen and Ruan we might be).... xxx

ReplyDeleteJust sent you a comment which seemed to disappear into the ether... but if you Do get it, then this is a copy.
Last day here in the house on the side of the mountain in South of France. We have written... and will send one last letter from here before we leave. We've been white water rafting (near death experience) and rubbing shoulders with the WAGS in St Tropez. Gemma Push Roshni and Kip came up to see us yesterday on the bus and stayed for lunch and a swim. Jameses and Zach have now departed and we're left clearing up the debris, repairing broken furniture etc and about to head off down to Nice to meet up with Gemma and co again for lunch and a spot of retail therapy in the old town.
Glad to hear that all is going well and that you're not pining for us. Ruan says hummous, Tegen says she's missing you. Lots of love Mum Dad Tegs and Ruan Evans (Ruan insisted on adding the Evans tag.. just so you know which mum dad tegen and ruan we are) xxxx

You will be gratified to know that we have put your room back together now...Mum is driving to Loughborough again shortly, as she is trying to get used to the route. If you were at home you could have gone to see U2 this Thursday - Max had a spare ticket. Try and send some more images soon, if you have time. Love, Dad and Mum.
