Well well... summer time is here already and I haven't done an update in absolutely ages (nothing to do with the Champions League final...) so I had better get cracking... Firstly, it's fantastic news that my mother has had her first 'successful' eye operation in over a year - finally there has been an improvement in her vision. It has been a stressful and tiring past 12 months for her but finally we feel as if progress has been made. Fingers are crossed that this is a change in luck. My mother is staying in London with me for the next few days to recover from the surgery, returning home on Friday....

To make up for my first two months of the year, I've been on three holidays in the following two! A last minute trip to Morzine, on the border of Switzerland and France, with a few mates was absolutely brilliant. To be able to ski across the border with endless amounts of pistes was great fun.

Soon after that trip, Emma and I went to Venice for a long...

15th July 2001 Our journey commences! We left Warmingham at 3pm hoping 10 hours to get to the Channel Tunnel was enough - taking into consideration my map-reading skills. Fortunately, Sarah decided to take over and we arrived soon after 9pm. A small concern was that they couldn't find out tickets, but some clever talking did the trick as we found ourselves under The Channel four hours early. Ignoring the fact that Sarah walked in on a German on the loo - a successful start to our adventure! We arrived in France at around 11pm French time. After some desperate searching for a comfy campsite,...
