My sister Claire has embarked on a big trip, doing the world in style. Perhaps she won’t go back again. Well not soon anyway. She plans to do SE Asia, Uzbekistan, work her way to Europe, do Europe, UK, then off to America, and eventually find her way to Canada and find a job. I look forward to her progress, look forward to seeing her and hear the fantastic travel stories, and will then enjoy having someone else to visit in Canada.

So a wedding is always a lovely reason to take a trip, so when Nadine and Efren invited us to come down to Dusseldorf to celebrate, we couldn’t resist.
The trip took us through England, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, and we enjoyed a nice stay at a spa hotel and then off to the wedding. It was a good party and we enjoyed the coffee and cakes and then had a fun night watching the German team perform admirably in the football world cup against Argentina.
On the way home we managed to catch up with Mike and Sheetal in Eindhoven. We looked around the city, enjoyed a nice meal at a Grand Cafe, and then we made our way back to the channel tunnel and had fish and chips for dinner in Dover with the setting sun.
Lena and Greg went to Dad’s Camp on Cookham Dean old cricket common. It was a fun weekend with about 40 dads and a hundred or so kids. We turned up, pitched our tent, and made sure the kids had a great afternoon with a big walk and treasure hunt. Once we had fed the kids and put them to sleep, then there was a couple of hours for us Dads to have fun.
Thanks to Porteur, Mike and Darryl for organising a great event and getting everyone together.
