Camping at Megeve

Lundy - We made it!

Lundy for Lunch at the Pub on the island, once around the shop for some "Lundy Rock" and then lining up on the bumpy runway and we are away.

After lining up behind Barbara on Lunday and watching two attempts to take off we caught up with her at Eaglesscott, We said that was a sporting take off.....her report was there is nothing wrong with the Aircraft its the pilot! She was flying a home built single seat open cockpit flown in from Leicestershire. She was on a 40 year honey moon from Brisbain Austrialia!

DAY ONE - Thorney Island - Sywell Nothampton

Saying good bye to the kids today was tough, its become a language of goodbye they have had too much of this week. They said good bye to some innocence (difficult circumstances) this week at School but worse still Bethany & Emily's best friends Mia & Yvonne are moving out to America, there Dad is VP of something for GKN and on a 3 year project to Dallas. The good byes last night were painful to watch. As a parent one's instinct is to try and protect your kids from any hurt, however there are times when that's not possible, nor desirable, as they take one more step in growing up.

Thanks to all the visitors that make this possible ;-) Thank you to all the Army folks who helped make this event special for the visitors. The one thing that always surprises me is the generosity of the giving, be that time or money in a world with so much suffering its easy to become conditioned to expect the worst. This weekend we experienced the best!
