The holiday was fantastic – so good to be away with great people (well all in my family are great!) and to be in a top location.

Highlights – too many to remember but they include fantastic scenery, paddling my canoe for the first time in years, paddling Andrew’s surf kayak, watching the children body boarding, laughing, eating and enjoying each others company, the fantastic weather (apart from one very wet and windy day where we tied the awning down but the elemnts still caused a fixable injury to it)ending the day with great malt whisky.

The holiday ended with a big ‘wow’ when we heard of the arrival of Lucy Mann to Chris and Juliet on June 1st. No doubt many pics will be flying about soon. Congratulations Chris and Juliet – and welcome Lucy!

Lowlights – only the long drive, but 7 hours is no time for such a wonderful place.

I just wish to thank all for making this a special time away. I’ve come back thinking how great God is – how long before the realities of life are causing me to say .. ‘God … why the flipping eck is this happening…!’
