Tobermory
Dear JIAGGJ,
Tonight we are sailing up to Iceland and have been told to expect rough seas! Still we should be alright
as we are experienced sailors but just in case we didn`t have too much dinner.
Well today we have been to Tobermory on the island of Mull in Scotland. You will recognise the card I have sent you! From there we travelled across miles and miles of land with very little on it, except sheep, to get to Duart castle - the home of Lord Maclean. From the top of the keep (tower) we could see Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in Scotland. The dungeons were very dark with rats
We have been sailing for 2 hours and are still passing islands, it will take 2 days sailing to get to Iceland as we are not going very fast!
Love to all,Grandi xxxxxxxxx

Hi you two.
Well Mum you may remember I was about a week early for your birthday last year. So this year I thouoght I'd be a week late to even it out!!
No I'm afraid I have no excuse apart from I haven't even thought about it. I've been thinking about you regarding the move and everything else got crowded out.
So happy belated birthday. Hope you had a great one and the rest of the cruise goes well.
All fine here, I'm sitting in the Travel lodge in Exeter reader for tomorrow then the long drive to Gatwick for Tuesday.
At least there's a holiday to look forward to at the end of the week.
Lots of love
Duncanx

Duncs - at least you were organised with Mum's birthday present!
Hi Mum & Dad, hope you've got some reading material for the next 2 days as you might get a bit tired of the scenery.
We had a great day at W. Mids Safari Park yesterday with Julia, Sue and families. Ended up with most of the kids in our car for the Safari Drive and Jack was really wide eyed with the tigers though he screamed when the deers were trying to stick their heads in the car window to be fed. After our picnic lunch we did the rides and all got soaked to the skin on the Log flume so did it again...and again.... I went on the twister and thought I was going to die - Julia and Sue could hear me screaming at the bottom & Jenni kept saying 'You'll be alright Mummy, you've got me'. It was VERY high up and kept looking like we were going to lurch off the end until it sharply twist round - Arghhhhhhhhhh!!! Rob, Paul and Stefan (Sue's son) did the Blackfly - VERY scary and even Jen went on twice even though she was a couple of inches too short. So we did all give ourselves a good scaring. We got there at 10.30am and left at 6 so...got our value for money. The kids all very tired today though and Jack can't stop talking about the giraffe with his toungue hanging out - very dribbly (perhaps thats why Jack liked him!).
Enjoy your hols & lots of love to you all.
Duncs: You've gone a bit quiet - just busy getting ready for your hols?

Hi
Thinking of you today, saw Sex and the City at the Cinema with Jo, really good night. Carrie Bradshaw buys the penthouse in Manhattan and when they get in the lift they have to push the PH button for their apartment. I was wondering whether you would be PH too!
Duncs, how's life? where are you off on holiday and how long for? Are you going to Abis BBQ?
Love Becky

Nice to hear your news.
Duncan you are forgiven - I did get your present.
I have times I think of Clockhouse and times I wonder if all will be well with the PH but other times I just think that other people have made successful changes in their life so there is no reason we cant. Then there are times I forget altogether!
Have a good holiday Duncan,
Love you all, Mum x
