  2. Go Lucy Go!! Your Godson wanted a picture of himself for you to look at when you could, so you can imagine I was very relieved not to have to put a photo of me up!! I think you should all be so proud of yourselves, what you are doing is terrifying to me, although deep down would love to do it, because to achieve something like that would and will make you feel amazing. Gitty says good luck too, he would definitely love to do this climb but he'll have to put up with ski-ing with Dom in a few weeks time!! Lots of love The Jolliffes xxxx

  6. Hi Lucy its Maggie and Richard here. Dominic and the children are with us and we have just had lunch. Hope yours was as good. Gorgeous day and snow nearly all gone now. I see you are all stopping at a camp called a lava tube for lunch and guess you are now on your way to Kikelewa Cave. Some amazing scenery I guess.
    Spoke to your mother at lunchtime as Dominic was phoning her about website.
    All thinking of you and sending all our love . Big xxxxxxx

  12. Hi Lucy and Ally

    It sounds like you are all taking it in your stride and it is strangely peaceful there. We are all routing for you back home. Focus on on the end goal and the tremendous sense of achievement you will feel when you reach top. Well done all and keep safe.

    Love, John and Barbara

  14. Mummy it's Henri and F here! Mummy we(H and Emily Bradley) had some information on how high you were and when you were going to make camp. We were going through it with Miss Fivaz with the whole class. Everyone found it very interesting. I told Miss Fivaz about the shewee and that you had been using it and she thought it was very funny. I want you to come back soon as I am missing you very very very very much.
    It's Fred here and I miss you very much. I am wondering how you are and I would like you to send me a message on how you are getting on and I hope you are having a nice time.
    LOL xxx

  17. Luc, Dom just sent me the picture of you at the top, amazing and well done to you and everyone. He was saying that you are feeling pretty awful so I hope that it won't take long for you to start feeling better the lower you get. Gitty stayed with Dom last night so I apologise in advance if he left a mess!! I spoke to Henrietta and Freddie today, they both sound fine but missing their Mummy lots and are very ready for you to come home although I think they've had fun playing the 'Daddy Card' for the past week!! Take care coming down and look forward to seeing you when you get back. Bex xxx
