All good stories have a beginning, middle and end!!!
Chapter One : Journey into the unknown! Our journey to Eilat was hideous from the moment we arrived at Heathrow airport. Clearly Tim looks like a suicide bomber and I look like a bimbo who can be persuaded to take a suicide bomber onboard a plane! Having been interogated together, seperately and had my bike [...]

Rising from the ashes again but firmly ‘compressed’!!!
Hi Guys, Well I think I might be already be a World Champion at something. It’s something that I have found very easy to achieve but very difficult live through!
