Salut! Hope you all enjoyed the bus journey. It looks like the sun is shining. Charlie, we're missing you already. I've had to pour my own gin and your dad has no one to moan at! Hope you settle into the chatuex and enjoy all that lies ahead! Mum x

Hi Cammy, It’s Cara, your big sister here! I hope you have an amazing time on the France trip and make some great memories with your friends! I miss you so much! Can’t wait to hear all about it when you come back and hope you have a great experience. I was on this trip in 2013 and sure you will have an awesome time away! Cara x

Hi Arran, glad you have arrived safely! Have the best time and make amazing memories! Love you lots Arran, Mum xx

Rory did you forget your jodhpurs but remember your horse?

Hello Trippers, hope the journey went well and you are ready for all the fun. This really is the best trip so take it all in and don’t give Ms Watson too much hassle (she likes to moan every now and then). Also big shoutout to the little cousin, Keira, live up to the legacy and don’t let me down - no pressure.

Enjoy every single moment of the trip and get fully involved. When I went to France in 2015 I wasn’t sure how it would be, but I loved every minute of it and learnt so much about myself. Looking forward to all the pictures and remember the most important thing...it’s not a spectator sport! Oh and Duncs, the big team are coming for you.

Hiya! Oh, how time flies. To think it was a year ago I was one of you little trippers. Trust me there are some very important rules to remember while on the bus. 1) Just don't be boring and think your too cool for the songs. Embrace it 2) Stay on the lookout for teachers on the prowl snapping some embarrassing photos while yer napping. 3) If you don't sing ”over and done with” then you don't deserve to be on the trip. But the main rule is just to enjoy it. (And to Try not to break the toilet at the chateau.) I'll be back.... The legacy continues. -WW
