A couple of great characters, who will be missed.

I hope they are both well.

As Bruce Forsyth said. Didn't they do well. Smashing young couple loved hearing Moria give big Gordon it tight it was hilarious watching him try to find a comeback. I will miss them both but hope to see them out and about one day.

Well I guess it will happen to us all someday……. It is a pleasure and privilege knowing you both, we always looked forward to meeting up with you. Best wishes Sandy and Christine.

Hats off to them, they gave us a very enjoyable night at one of the Green Frog meets.

 

[Papa Bongo]

Many thanks for the kind comments. It was a very difficult decision to make, but in the end , I think, the right one.
The Elgrand is getting a bit long in the tooth and with our health issues we are finding camping is becoming more of a chore.
Moira is currently cancer free, and mine remains under control.
We want to thank you all and others for the great times and happy memories we have shared.
We look forward to seeing some of you at Druridge Bay, and wish you all many more years of happy Motorhoming to come.
If any of you are coming near Jedburgh and want to meet up, The Laird has contact details.
Much love
Gordon and Moira

Goods news Moira is C free, and your C is under control, and hopefully will remain this way for you both.

Take care…. B & T. No relation to the company

We often talk about that first meeting and the welcome we got from Jean and yourself. You kept us right with the do's and don't s and introduced us to some great people . Many thanks.

Robert has reminded us of our first meeting at St Andrews, and that's where we also met you both (and dear old Gerry!)
The sentiments you express are totally mutual. Gordon and Moira
