Hey Mills
Thanks for your blog message!! I'm halfway through my deployment lol. Working here is amazing but hard work. I'm digging holes for planting mango trees and amla plants for local produce. Also done a bit of teaching! Thank you for my letter too. Take care, Bijal :)

Hi folks (Simon, Jenny, Anne and Robert)
Just to say that my ear is healing well and I am beginning to properly hear from it again.

Say hi to Bella for me. Oh and Jenny I found your future husband. Lots of love Nick xxx

From Anna Read
Hi Reads (Jack, Cathy, Rob and Edith)
I am missing you. I think you guys are on holiday right now but I've not heard from you so I thought I'd write a little message. I went on safari yesterday! I saw an elephant! And a baby one, so cute! Been having fun digging 1m by 1m holes to later plant amla plants and mango trees. The village we are staying in is awesome, the huts the village live in are so small it is crazy! The doorways come up to my legs! Anyway I hope to hear from you soon. See you in three weeks love Anna xxx
From Katharine Poole
Hi all, we saw elephants! I am having a great time here in India and am looking forward to coming home and telling you all about it and boring you all with my photos! Glenn - hope you are enjoying the school holidays. Mum - did you get the second postcard? Will try and send you more but haven't seen any in the shops. Stuart - you would have loved the safari, it was strange without you. See you three weeks today. Hope everyone is well, Katharine
From Beccy Culverwell
Culverwells: thanks for your message, got one from Tom too, but I can't reply, can you please tell him thanks and that I am having an amazing time and that I'm travelling after! Will contact him when I can. Today I've been helping to plaster the rainwater harvesting units and been swimming in the reservoir. Went on a safari trip and saw three elephants. Group are really nice and location is beautiful. Probably hotter in Portugal than here! Keep me updated. Lots of love Beccy C. Also can I please have a steak first night when I am home as I am on a vegan diet? Will contact you and Grandpa when possible xxxxxx
From Kezi
To my family, just got your messages, it's nice to finally hear from you! re the cement in my eyes don't worry I'm not blind managed to wash it all out so no damage! France sounds great but no where near as amazing as India! I got to try plastering today but don't think I can add it to my CV - I am pretty rubbish at it! All my love xxxx

ReplyDeleteThanks for the birthday greetings. Good to see you working hard on the video clip! Looked as though you are having a great time. Hope you are enjoying the local food as well! Mum and Caroline in Paris this week. Looking forward to hearing tales of your adventures when you return. Best wishes, Dad.
hi abi and becky [H] Granny and Grandad are folllowing your blog with great joy we are just so proud of you both keep safe my darlins
ReplyDeleteHi Kezi
ReplyDeleteAm guessing that you havent received our letters yet?? Three sent from France so far. We got your postcard! We are back now after gruelling 2 days driving through France dodging beligerant Belgians towing caravans at speed and dreadful Dutch drivers, much of the time spent in peage queues and crawling through roadworks. Spent one night at the hotel we went to 11 years ago where you and Tegen ordered snails. Hotel hasnt changed one bit (ie in need of major refurb) but food was fab.
Am enjoying reading all the blogs... yours and the other groups!! Am gleaning all the details that way. Looks incredible. Sad to hear your plastering isnt up to much... we always have need for some fine skimming skills.. how's your block work??
So.. we're back home now. Weather is predictably average. Was hottish but now a bit drizzly. Ruan is doing street dance course at pineapple - travelling there and back on his own, unfazed. Tegen is in Oxford on her science course and seems to be having a great time making many foreign friends. Not sure about the science. Oh and its Pips birthday today. 3!!!
Looking forward to hearing more in due course.
Lots of love from us all xxxxx
Hi Rose (Echo 6)
ReplyDeleteHope everything continues to go well and that you have all nearly completed the project with not too many blisters!!It was great getting your email we all look every day to see if there are any updates. Have spoken to Dan several times - he, like all of us, are missing you but know that you are having a fabulous time - only a few more days and you travel to Kerela - what an experience that will be! We keep sending these messages and hope that we are doing the blog right and that you are getting them! All our love Ma and Pa xxxx
