If Becky was my pet horse then we would have put her down by now! Yep, old "Red Rum" has been in the wars a bit! Major problem being all those choccie bics have got lodge somewhere in her back and moved one of her rib bones on her spine (well thats what the chiropractor said , minus the choc bics bit!). So whilst ive spent my days shriveling like a prune in the sea surfing pretty fine waves whilst i look like an overly keen grom with a head that looks l...

We had a nice boat with only 7 others on and 2 crew, and the hutchens party definately ruled the decks!

We went and had free Ukelele lessons and the free Lei making lessons (yes they were lovely!), inspired by our ukelele skills we went to the cheap market and bartered one down for a tenner.
