Mum At least you had a heater- when I was at school we had to line our beds with newspaper to keep warm. It meant that every time someone turned over the entire dormitory woke up. Are you wearing a vest?

Flo Stay away from that heater Rebecca...there madness and death lies... Its snowing here. My hockey has been cancelled. And I really ought to work but hearing of your adventures is much more satisfactory. I would rather be in Palestine. Do you think I could go out there next year? Enjoy. xxx

Fons A little late in the day but enjoyed reading your recent updates from Palestine. Have sent your website to others in the extended family this side of the pond for their edification. keep well and safe and get used to that delicious coffee!!

Flo I would like to clear my name-I couldn't come to syria because I had extra work to do in Cambridge, was flying with the RAF and had no money. I call your post slanderous madame. Outrageous. xxxx

Steohanie Glad you didn't marry any of the Bedouin. Petra sounded magical. Hope you eventually got more to eat...

Stephanie Finally remembered you were listed under Slinky after much fruitless searching of the sta site. Wish I had not looked at the photos and the blog when I read your description of the bathroom...

Umbra  Slink's coming home! I want the world to know! Doobee doobee doo! Slink's coming home!  AND she's all mine! *cackle* p.s. if I can't walk there, that's too far!

slinky I won't come home, not just yet anyways, it's far too sunny here, and I hear that England is ever so not sunny. I'm goblinning it very happily round Israel. And if I were to come home, you have to show me this William of yours that I magicked into existence. I am not so very far away any more, Israel is very close indeed, mayhap you can visit me....xxxxx

Umbra Hello, Slink sorry to be a one-comment pony but COME HOME PLEASE! You've been away far too long! I know you're doing fun and exciting things but home needs you. You are the fabric of England or at least crummy Kent. Summer is coming up but is still nicely cool and my goblin is far far away :'( xxxx

Familia Lupa Love the photos. Keep sane and don't drink the water or eat the salad.... Love

Umbra Miss you so, Slink-plinky-pudding-and-pie. You're so old now *pokes you*. *wail* come back! I can't stand the silence! xxx
