April & May 2007

Last Updated:  11/10/07

 

We've been out and about quite a bit... London (Vix's leaving do...she's now working in NZ!), Wales, York...

 

As a bit of background, for those who don't know and are vaguely interested...  I've known vix for... well... ever!!  (We go right back to Mothers and Toddlers - as toddlers, before any of you get the wrong idea).  Colette and I first met when we were born, and I've got quite a few photos of us at each others parties when we were little (am going to try to retrieve these and scan them in next time I'm back on the rock!).  We met up again in the 6th form at school.  I met Emma-Lynn through Vix a few years ago at New Year... we all got drunk together!

We drove (maniacally when I was driving, sedately when Tom was behind the wheel) to York in the Smart car...

 

Lots of fun (and only a bit scary in the cross-winds!) :)
