Jack Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 Please3 can we have another trip back there? A proper guided tour by Joris and Co. Tony I think you are right and was thinking about that only today. I wonder if we could get something together for next year?? Just had a text from Joris - saying that he is having a wonderful time at the commemorations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 God idea Jack! But maybe a trip out of season so we can do what do best, bicker, point out faults on vehicles, head for cafes and bars..... :cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ford 369 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 sounds like a plan t me but we must try and avoid the snow this time or Jack will be stuck at home again while we are visiting all those places he can only dream of Nigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joris Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I agree and I most probably will be able to let you all sleep over, if you don't mind sleeping in our basement.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
