New Baby!!

A friend had her first baby today – Elouise Natasha was born at 5.08am, weighing 6lb 15ozs and she is gorgeous!! Congratulations Natasha and Martin…

Have made a keepsake garland for them today – hope they like it!! Will be putting it in the post tomorrow – hoping Royal Mail will manage to get it there slightly quicker than their recent efforts… a donkey would be faster!!

And how it ends….

Well they eventually got back to Spain and this is them at their final campsite (looking far happier!) before catching the ferry back to Plymouth and their last journey to Honeypot House.

They raised over £10,000 on Just Giving but I believe the total money they have raised so far is over £12,000!! Money is still coming in…

Everyone is so proud of them and we were all so pleased to have them home safe and sound!!

Bumble Bee Update

Thought I should do an update on the Ride of the Bumblebee and let you know how they got on… I couldn’t at the time as I was a bit fraught – this pic did not help!! The boys didn’t get into Morocco until the middle of the afternoon – they then rode all the way to Casablanca and back to the port!! This was taken at 3am, no ferry until 6am…. They had already had two horrendous days where Paul’s (my son) chain had broken – caught just in time apparently which held them up most of the day and then really high temperatures and strong winds the following day……

Had to post a link to this blog as it is such a cool thing to do!!

My son and three other guys from Sony Ericsson are riding motorbikes over 2600 miles to Casablanca and back to raise money for the Honeypot Charity which provides care for underprivileged children in the UK.

Suspect from reading their blog it is not a comfortable experience…

Good luck and come back safe x
