Hi guys
Sounds like your having a great time. As for me I've finally started to do some actual work (yes i know im a lazy arse when i want to be). But work is good coz i can save to travel again.

Love the photo selection, Peru is so photogenic! If you do get down to melbourne you will have to drop me a line so i can see the rest. PLus i need to take you for a few good glasses of wine.

Enjoy your big adventure- i know you will
Adios,
Lizzy

Sounds like you had an amazing christmas and new year. Its great to see some pictures, you look like you are having a great time. Pity you couldn't catch a piranha, William could have had a stuffed one just like James used to have! We had a much more ordinary Christmas, although still fun especially with a 1 year old little boy. We are trying to set up a web site of all his birthday and xmas pictures so you will be able to see them.
lots of love
Sarah, Adrian and William xxx

Great Photos! Really pleased to see you both on the photos - looking really well and like your having lots of fun - especially on the sand. Looks like it was a Christmas to truly remember! (hope it was - was great to hear from you - thought of all silly things to tell you once finished - my memory is getting worse!). Back to school today after a very busy new year (5am into bed - far too late - still recovering!) - so am thinking of you both right now and still very envious! Take care and look forward to next installment - keep those photos coming - especially with you both on (especially you Hannnah - no avoiding them now Christmas is over!).
Lots of Love from
Amy

Hello!!
Soz not to write earlier but only just worked out how to do this blog thingy! Looks like you're having a fantastic time and been to some lovely places - Rich and I are definately going to follow in your footsteps. (not)-Rich's only contribution to this message! We've just finshed selling Christmas trees (Yes guys WE, I was out there in my Santa bikini as well) and Rich is taking the whole week off work to relax after Crimbo. Its bloody freezing over here and sunny Barlestone was all white this morning.
Hope you guys carry on having a fantastic time and enjoy New Year wherever you may be.
Keep in touch,
Lots of Love Alex and Rich xxx

Mexico sounded great - shame about having to listen to Robbie Williams though!
Full team now assembled at home in preparation for the season's festivities - have just watched 'Open Water' on dvd - strongly suggest that you avoid scuba diving in shark-infested waters!
Look forward to hearing where, how and with whom you spend Christmas day - we will load the Queen's speach onto the blog for you.
Love to you both from all at Castle Farm & the Warwickshire Luddites.

Really glad to hear about Mexico - sounds wonderful - especially the beach holiday part - really envious as freezing to death!!! Did the usual going to sing at the old people's home today and several children fainted this time!!! (boiling hot!!!). Carol service on Wednesday and Christmas Party on Thursday. On Saturday off to Yorkshire for a bit of a rest - fend off all the germs I hope!!! Fell down a flight of stairs at Fosse Park last week so nursing my injuries and feeling sorry for myself!!! Anyway enough boring news for a bit!!! The Tequilas sound great (except for the worm - cannot think about that!!!) Keep drinking and enjoying yourself!!! Also really pleased to hear that you put some Salsa into practice - especially you James! Hope you got the christmas card via e-mail. Take Care and Have Brilliant Christmas if do not speak to you before! Keep the photos coming they are great - make sure that you are on some too though (no escaping - need a Christmas shot of you both!). LOts of Love from Amy xxxx

Picked this up at a ICT course at Beaumanor! Totally envious! Had performances this week and it will be the Carol Service next. Just thought you should come down to earth and realise what we plebs are doing.
Had snow - wonderful! Even built igloo.
Everyone at school ill! Amy is the only one who hasn't had time off.
Are you toned Hannah?! Is James managing to find enough to eat or has the inactivity reduced his appetite? My knee has scuppered Pilates although I am going back in January - I need it!
Must go and do ICT connected to science as I am now Sci coordinator.
Hope to hear from you before Christmas, if not have a good one wherever you are.
Love Jean

Great to hear that the thrills of your trip are just increasing all the time. VERY envious of weather as freezing fog and snow back here!!! Poor little Kolin Ka has had to work really hard!!! Survived the Christmas Bazaar - did the Pretty Pony Tombola of all things!!! Love the pictures still - keep them coming and continue to ENJOY yourself - very envious! LOve from Amy

Hi Miss King, We're delighted to hear you're having a great time. We're having a Christmas Bazaar tonight and we wish you could be here. Enjoy your beach holiday.

Where did you get that photograph? The one of you and James.
Apart from that still extremely jealous. Yes I recognise everything but only from books not the real thing!
My highlights - We got through to the semifinals of tag rugby to be played at the Tigers ground in January so I get a ticket to the match afterwards and a seat!
Yes it has been very cold here but you will be ENVIOUS of the snow (if we get any)
Christmas bazaar tomorrow 6-9.30 Bit early, therefore lots of very excited children. Just hope there are bargains to be got to make up for stress.
Booked Terrible Tudors at Birmingham for March visit. Said to class do you mind another Tudor trip? They said no it's a trip - very philosophical!
I suppose you're both on the beach now, in all that warmth and relaxing atmosphere! Hope you're piling on the suncream Hannah!
Next Thursday I can get out the Christmas plates! MY Highlight!
Enjoy your beach holiday. Love to you both, Jean x

I'm no history buff, butthe Aztec Calender is actually the ring which the Mexican version of a gladiators would fight on. I can not remember who the doody in the middle is, but he is holding 2 human hearts. Whichever competitor lost, ie died, was the sacrifice for the God. A system I think would be wise to introduce to schools in England.

Mexico sounds and looks great - glad to see photos - you know i like pictures to go with writing as cannot get rid of all key stage one habits yet!!! You sound like you have done an amazing amount of walking and don't blame you for saying that your legs ache!!! I cannot compete with that but have started an exercise class called body combat on a Monday and that about finishes me off!!! (although great for all the agression which builds up over a week!). Look forward to hearing about the next part of your adventure - thinking of you and very envious as I sit here freezing to death!!! Take Care and will e-mail soon. Lots of Love Amy xxxx

I am soooo envious! Mexico is one of my dream locations. Why were your legs aching? Obviously not enough cycling. Icy here, had two fantastic frosts, hoping for snow like on Monday!
Had RE Ofsted Thursday and Friday am. No one bothered.
Went to a course yesterday amd met the acting head from Newton Burgoland and Jo. The head has gone off sick (but has done this before) and no one knows if she's coming back in January. She's been there for 15 years!
Will email you at a later date to fill in all the gossip. Did you get my last one?
It's Friday night and wine is calling. Just watch all that Mexican alcohol, you might have met your match Hannah!
Love Jean

Well, the hoover dam is somewhat smaller than I thought, otherwise Janes has had a bit of a growing spree from the look of the pictures. It all sounds pretty cool. I think I would deffinately be a shallow star spotter if I were there.
What is pretty groovy is that Iwas in Mexico city last Easter. I also went to the Pyramids, and climbed them and lost half my body wieght in sweat. No temptation to make a human sacrifice? Keep going, I need to hear about the best places to visit, you two are my guinnea pigs.

Take care and remember, use sunscrean
Love
Tanya

It all sounds non stop fun & excitement so far - good to see the pictures although they do look suspiciously like postcards to me - are you sure you are really there and not holed up in a love nest in Skegness? We all dressed up as Indians last week for Roger's 50th party last weekend. R & M had a good time in India & have some great pics, not to mention the bodily functions stories!
It will be minus 5 tonight - bet that makes you jealous. Look forward to reading more, go steady on the chillies.

You seem to be writing an awful lot in your blog - you obviously both have far too much time on your hands!! Glad you're both enjoying it, take care and don't spend too much on clothes Hannah you'll never carry a years worth of shopping!!

Really glad to hear that you are getting around. Also one of the sad people impressed to hear Jesse from home and away is at your hostel (you might have known!). Dissapointed in the fact that you didn't pay the little white chapel a visit but never mind i would not want to miss the occasion! Without Jean at school at the moment so a little lonely - only 4 of us at the pub at lunchtime - will never do. At school now typing this before going home and looking at all the marking. Take Care. Lots of Love from Amy xxxx

Hi Hannah and James,
Thought you would leave vegas having made a profit. Hannah you are slipping. Hope LA improves. There must be some interesting parts.
I seem to have caught some bug and am having tomorrow off - so it is serious!I sent Amy to a coordinator's meeting today in Newbold which wasn't on, obviously am under stress and need the weeks up to Christmas off!
Wish we'd sorted some codes before you took off as this is very open.
Your lemon plant is worrying me! It is blossoming but keeps losing leaves! Think I may have to buy another.
Next week is our RE Ofsted which I suppose being an CofE school is essential to pass. Ralph is writing another sef which is required.
Amy and I have been to the Per Una factory sale in Hinckley twice and have purchased various items. Amy had done particularly well with a coat for £30 and a jacket for £20. I have bought a skirt and top but as usual have nothing to go with them!
This is a bit disjointed - must be my physical state or just normal?
Hope the rest of LA is interesting - I'm sure Mexico will make up for it.
Love to you both,
Jean x

Jesse of Home and Away!! You lucky thing!! I'm so sad I know, and I'm probably the only person on your list sad enough to watch Home and Away I know, but I'm very jealous!

Hope LA picks up and enjoy Mexico when you get there!

Finally had time to look at your site - William's separation anxiety is on top form - he obviously misses his aunt and uncle! Glad you enjoyed NY and hope you don't lose all your money in Vegas or it may be a shorter trip than anticipated. Mum has no objection to you stopping at chapel, just make sure it is a groovy Elvis or alien one.
Hope accommodation continues to be good.
lots of love xxx

My third attempt! The code keeps changing.
Very envious but glad you have enjoyed your first few days.
If you win on the tables send me a ticket.
Ofsted could have been worse, saved by the committment of the staff. If no issues would not have been stressful, very different from last time.
Got my new car on Tuesday but didn't drive it til today. Have I made a mistake? Too late.
Looks as if it is going to be a wet bonfire night.
Have you run into Charles and Camilla?
Stay away from the chapels if consuming alcohol!
Looking forward to reading your next installment.
Love to you both, Jean

Really glad to hear that you are enjoying sight seeing in New York - it sounds really exciting.

Look forward to hearing about the next part of your exciting trip very soon. Keep enjoying it and take care both of you!!! LOts of LOve from Amy xxxx

Hi guys! Glad to hear you're there safe and sound and experiencing the true meaning of 'roughing it'!! I thought you'd like to know we had a breakthrough with Bramble. we've decided to put his food out for him in the evening when the dogs are in cos the dogs and other cats were gettin g it before but we'll try and put it out at a regular time so he gets used to us cos he's not too keen at present!! Anyway, he's fine, your post hasn't arrived yet but will let you know as soon as it does - keep having fun! Jane xxx (Ed says hi-and where are the thong pictures?)

nice picture. Which of you is it? Well not sure if you've left but just incase I forgot (surprising huh) I'll say ta ra, and good luck. I bet you are going to have the best time. I am genuinely jealous. By the way, in many of the countries you are going to, you can buy men quite cheap, so pick me up a little something. Thanks
