Yes! Doing so great - everyone on the WhatsApp cheering you all on.

I’m not sure if Mum knows but Aunty Helen is getting married tomorrow. Very low key and pub lunch she asks me and Andy to come so very excited and will make sure I take lots of pics for you both.

Will look at flights ! Would be so brilliant to see you in the Caribbean. How long will you be there for?

Interestingly, this is our point of no return - our only option now is to continue to bowl comfortably along, as we are, all the way to the Caribbean!
