Thank you very much to Susan & Richard what a lovely surprise and what a treat! 🍾 They have just had the time of their lives in Ibiza! 40 somethings can also enjoy the White Isle!

I remember where I was - do you?
I was working overseas in Benidorm for Thomas Cook - I’d just come in from the beach and my flat mate had it on the TV, we couldn’t believe what we were seeing, then the second aircraft hit 😥.
Changed the world forever.

In February this year my family and I visited the 911 Museum - We all found it emotional and thought provoking. If you visit block the day out as there is so much to see and take in.

Remembering those that lost their lives on this day 25 years ago. 👼
