Dad
Well, how did the first stage go? Any rows as yet? Did you get 1st Class all the way?
Have fun, have a great time but most of all, take good care of yourselves.

Love Dad

How was Day 1
Mum's just spent 1/4 hour typing you a message but has lost it again!!!

How has Day 1 been? Jet lagged I expect. I've had a day off today as my back started playing up this morning when I lifted the washing basket - I really must be allergic to work.

The girls in mum's work have been asking about you.

We ordered new work surfaces yesterday on the way back from dropping you off. Hopefully we can get them fitted after next week.

We're off to the caravan tomorrow evening so won't be checking for news again until Sunday night.

Don't forget to update you travel map. Your still in Newport according to the map!

Love Dad

Seen the First Photos
Nice to see your first photos and see what you two are getting up to. Need to get a bit of practise with the self timer though - we won't see your arm held out then.

Cant believe Sam ate chickens feet!!(or did he?). Bet you didn't Christina.

There was a bit of a breeze at the Peak wasn't there? Or was it the new hairstyle!

Came back from the caravan around lunchtime and spent all afternoon clearing out the garage and washing three cars!! Can't put yours in though as yet as we have new worktops being delivered tomorrow and they will not be fitted until sometime next week.

More importantly - you borrowed Nan's spare house key just before you left. Any idea where it is as she's asked for it twice and I can't see it in your room?

Mum banked your money while in Weston on Saturday.

There was also a pair of sun glasses left on your window sill. Do you want me to bring them out to you?

Can't stop, almost time to take Grant swimming - he want to go to night for some reason. Probably feeling a bit dried out as he has missed a couple through the week.

Lots of Love to you both,
Mum & Dad, Grant & Kieran

PS - Eight teachers being made redundant from Pont. school at the end of this term.

Joe Calzaghe won his fight in Las Vagas Saturday. Up the Welsh

School
Went back to school today. Bit of a shock after such a lovely break but not too bad. Jack took in his memory pen with all his photos and gave a slide show to the class talking about what we did. Danny was very pleased. He and Suse did a fantastic job of house and dog sitting for us. The dogs have never been so spoilt!! Hope you're still having fun. Take care. LOL Mum xxx
