So where to begin…….. After my great European adventure I have begun another adventure…..marriage! So now that you have picked yourself up off the floor let me explain. As most of you picked up from my previous blogs John Guthrie from Newdegate West Australia has been playing quite a big role in my life since we reconnected in person after 15 years.

I will have to come back another time I guess to see a bit of the city. When I arrived at my departure gate there was no one here. Literally. I was all by myself. That should have been a sign. We were due to board the plane at 9:30 for a 10 o'clock departure. Now it is 10:30 and we are sched...
