It has made my holiday so so special Sneha and we have only just arrived - we met when we were on holiday here this time last year and Paul and his family even came to wave us off at the airport - such a lovely lovely gesture and to see them waiting in arrivals for us was absolutely wonderful:-) hugs Jan xx

We will Tim - I met Paul and his delightful family last year - when we saw them waiting for us at the arrivals gate it was a wonderful surprise - we only met briefly as we had to get on our coach - will catch up again in the next couple of days - I can't wipe the smile from my face it was such a lovely thing for them to do to be here to welcome us:-) hugs Jan xx
