Joanne WittigBarb and Doug I'm so sorry to hear your mum is in hospital! What a huge worry for you all. I hope she wakes up soon and improves quickly. We will be thinking of her and sending giant get well wishes her way! It's nice to see you are still getting out and enjoying what sounds like Nutella land!! Thinking of you all and appreciate the updates. Take care. (Jack is super jealous of all the crepes and Nutella Sam is eating!! )
Joan. Thinking of you all and hoping for a quick and speedy recovery for your mum Doug. The town looks so beautiful and the markets were just out of a travel magazine.
Joan again - opps, not so good at working out how to type a reply! Sam you are a very good photographer and I have loved looking at all the photos you have shared. The old buildings look amazing and great to see you having such a good time at all the cafes. Can't wait to learn more as you travel around. Those crepes are so, so, so big!

Andrew SlutzkinHi Sam and Ruby and Mum & Dad - finally an old bloke like me has logged into your amazing trip around the world. Heather & I have read about Nannie being really ill, but getting better now, which is GOOD news. Way over the other side of the world, in Melbourne is where we are still, and a bit jealous that you're all (mostly) having fun in Uzes. A LONG time ago I learned French at school, and I can still speak a bit m- but when I do, and french people babble back to me in French, I'm not very good at understanding them!
Andrew SlutzkinAnd, by the way, our Sam and Ben went with their Dad Julian to see "Shaun le mouton" here in Melbourne a few days ago, and Sam laughed so much that everyone in the cinema turned round to look at him!! Love to Mum and Dad too, happy travels
Hi Sam, Ruby, Barb & Doug - I've finally been able to look at your blog (sometimes I'm a bit slow with computers) after Tracey told me about your nannie - I'm glad she's feeling better and hopefully she'll be able to see you soon. Looks like you're having a great time in France, it's one of my favourite places in the whole world, probably because I like cheese so much :-) Anyway now that I've found your website I'll keep checking it, sending lots of good wishes from Melbourne, au reviour for now x Deb W
