He's enjoying the lush green pastures of a distant field, with his herd. (On Holidays) John.

What?

Who said he could excuse himself without checking here first. Well really!!!!!

What is the world coming to? And I suppose Cheryl said he couldn't buy a mobile wireless laptop to keep in touch.




Enjoy your holiday vingo, where ever you are

Its just that I'm catching up to him h0ughy. If he comes back and sees I'm only a post or two behind he's likely to go on a spam spree in panic

hmmm I think he and his family possibly is on vacation at this picturesque lovely tropical beach - just an idea?

Ving even maybe took this video whilst there and loaded it onto youtube possibly?
I could be way off - but its the first place I would look

Hi folk,
gee I didnt realise i'd be missed (or my posts anyhow )

well its like this...

after 5 years of being together Cheryl and I tied the knot on the 14th. we were quiet busy leading up to it and hence the lack of posts.
it was quite a special event too, and one that i am proud of being the second half of the organising commitee. for about 18 months we planned this, keeping it secret from everyone... absolutely everyone, even Cheryls daughter Bec. then we announced an engagement party for the 14th and invited 60 odd friends and relatives. we fed them and dropped the bomb!
from there and thru the whole ceremony there was not a dry eye in our backyard (which was beautifully decorated by the way). I can ina completely non-biased way say it was the most moving event i have ever been to

we then went to mitchell island near manning point to a newish place called mellalucca resort which is a huge ex-farm property. they made it all bushy with trees and shrubs and built 3 cottages on it separated far enough apart that you cant see or hear anything except the abundant wildlife... throw in walking trails thru wetlands for the day and a patio spa and candle light for the night time and you have quite a romantic gettaway

just got back today

I have always called Cheryl my wife and Bec my daughter but now i guess it's official

I'll post one or 2 pics in a few days. gotta get the pics off the lappy and... too many other things to do ...
