Just don't bleedin ask!!!!
OK. Gramps is a WW2 veteran. It has long been his wish to revisit the battlefields in Italy where he served. This year, we decided that (at the age of 88) if we don't do it soon, he won't get his wish. Thus Gramps and Grannie and M&D booked and me and Mr BM booked. Then M called me to say party had been extended to include a couple of other family friends and the Vicar. The Vicar drives grannie and gramps to church on a Sunday and has done all the family hatches, matches and despatches for as long as I can remember (about 35 years) and probably much much longer.
Consequently, I am spending 10 days on a coach with Mr BM, my parents, my grandparents, two family friends and the vicar..........
