Christmas in Wenvoe and an Engagement.

It was Christmas time in Wenvoe and as a nurse, Mandy had to work an early morning shift while Rob prepared the Christmas dinner. When Mandy  returned home they exchanged gifts, Rob had one final gift hidden behind the tree, it was an engagement ring and he popped down on one knee to propose.....Mandy said Yes !



Late in the day, Pat and her son, Lee, came over for Christmas dinner and to share our Big News.

We also managed to See Joe D'Urso in concert, we met him backstage after the show and was really friendly, not mention, a superbly talented guy.

A Holiday in Tunisia.

 In Late August we decided to go on holiday to the North African Country of Tunisia. We flew from Bristol airport to Monastir. Sadly, the airline lost Rob's case on the way over.

Our first base was the town of Hammermet, we took a walk into the Medina and were greeted with quite a loud explosion, a gas canister had exploded.






On our second day we rented a local taxi who took us up to "The Saw" mountains to explore the area and to visit a traditional Spa.


Our second base was the small port of El Kantoui, about an hours drive from Hammermet.


We went down to the beach and hopped onto a Catamaran trip for a relaxing couple of hours at sea.

The following day Rob tried his hand at Para sailing from the beach.


Tunisia was certainly a different type of holiday from what we had experienced before, but we found the local people to be friendly and helpful.
