Clinging to a newly-minted cliché that touts fifty as the new thirty, I write, parent toddlers, and watch the sun set into the Indian Ocean from the veranda of my tropical island home in Seychelles.

Hi Sandy. I hope my privious “letter” wasn’t tooo long and that you got it. This is your old Harllow’s buddy. Hope to hear from you. Your friend…Steve
Hello,
Great site. I am envious that you were able to set up shop on the Seychelles! I also run a blog, you can see it in the “website” section. I recently did a post on a new golf resort coming to the Seychelles that I thought you might be interested in. If you are interested in posting it on your blog just let me know.
Best,
Mark.

Hey Sandra, Marky Mark, CJ and Sam!
Happy New Yeay to you all, I see from your pictures that you had a great festive time in the heat. Not quite so warm here, although walking to the local pub to enjoy the heat of their open fire and, of course, for a pick me up (to counter the night before) was very warming!
I saw that Bro of yours being interviewed last night on BBC1, Jonathan Ross Show. Thought you might like to check it out, you can now view shows over the web - I hope they don;t restrict it to overseas viewers though… Web link below, ’twas a very funny interview - and we did see some of you in him, or vice versa!

Off for an early morning cycle ride now, the sun has just come up.
Say Hi to one and all, and hope to see you all again soon. It seems way too long ago already, albeit only 5 months.
Love, M&Cx
M&C,
Thanks, but the interview is “only available in the UK”. Bummer.
Happy New Year to both of you, too!
Sandra, I have been enjoying your site very much. I would like to place a link to it on my blog. Would that be OK with you? Please let me know.
Thanks!

Sandra,
So nice to send you a line. Jaren is my dear, sweet guy, and we have been together for almost four years.
Thank you for all your contributions to this world — mainly Jaren. He is beautiful.

Sandra,
Your descriptions of Seychellois life and the foreigner’s mentality are “spot-on”. Having lived in the Seychelles for 4 years and married to a wonderful island girl, I feel most at home there.
Keep your chin up, you’ll have better balance!
Best wishes,
RichA.
