Dinner and Dance in Camberley

We went over to Camberely and went to a dinner and dance with our old college friends Martin, Julia John and Maria. It was a splendid evening with a great tribute band playing "our" songs of the sixties.

Skydive Photos and Video

Some "strange" people have asked to see my skydive photos and video. They are posted on Facebook; but I have been reminded that not everybody uses Facebook - some folk do not even use computers!
So for those that are interested in the photos click here

Sleeping Beauty

We called in to see Lawrie, Emma and the baby on the way back from Helena's.

In Halesowen Again

Yesterday saw us in Halesowen again visiting Lawrie, Emma and OGK (Only God Knows). We took David up with us; this was the first time that he had seen his nephew and he was enraptured. We all went out to lunch at the French Hen a relativley local pub/eatery. A very good value for money meal. and we all had a great time. We were lucky with the traffic both going up and coming home.

My Birthday Present

For my 65th birthday present my "beloved" youngest children, Lawrie and Helena got me"just what I always wanted". Well I am not so sure about that - it was a tandem skydive!!!!!! I decided not to do it in the cold of the winter and fortunately today the weather was great. The early fog and cloud burnt off and it was as good a day as I could have wanted. Though maybe thick cloud, pouring rain and high wind is what I really wanted so that I could not jump.
Anyway I did it, feeling scared (or should that be petrified) all the way up, but once out of the plane it was fabulous. So thank you Helena and Lawrie.
