Its a great site, next to the best beach on the island.

Interlude Sunelia, le Bois Plage en Re.

We've just left the Ferry, bound for Lancashire and I'd just like to say a few words about the trip.

This Kaper certainly hasn't been like the others we've been on, which is a bit sad. Days before we left, Alison was diagnosed with Macular Degeneration in one of her eyes and is now receiving monthly injections into her eyeball in an attempt to halt the degeneration, so we had hoped for a fun filled trip with family and friends to put this particular worry to one side for a few weeks.

My illness in the first week didn't help and the events of our second week made us both very sad and lonely. Fortunately, we were able to spend time with our family until they left.

My Blog will be done shortly and, after much soul searching and a long chat with Alison, I'm pleased to say that it will focus on the positive aspects of our holiday.

On that note, I'd really like to thank the Krews from Tallulah and Harryhornet for their lovely gifts and, especially, their kind words - these, and their appreciation of the work that goes into organising a trip like this, meant such a lot to us.

Martin & Alison.

Few pics from a fab holiday.

Great to see the Ile getting another splash of BraziBay colours.

And how about those tripod table legs .... didn't they do well?!

A different Blog in many respects Abs - sorry to read about the ailments to you both - hope things are a little better now.
The new Blog layout looks clean and easy to navigate, not sure why but on our laptop the majority of the photos did not look as sharp as normal?
See if others experience the same 'focusing' aspect - it may just be us.

Have all your previous Blog entries been lost - hope not - can you link back to them from your current Blog?

Lovely blog Abs hope feeling better. Tim

Scooby. All the old blogs are on the new one too.

I think the photo issue is because I used my phone rather than a camera for most of them - a bit lazy and I need to start using the Canon again.

Ace blog hope you are both good see you in October

Just found a collage feature on my phone , only had it for 5 years and changing it this week....

Finally got round to looking at my pics, I've got some GoPro footage too, but that can wait. Oli has some drone footage from the beach too, but the drone is now in Devon and we won't be back there for another week or so.

Fab pics guys.

FAB selection of pics - thanks for sharing

Tim's taken my Blog link down because someone found it offensive and, obviously, I respect his decision as owner of this Forum. I didn't think people were that sensitive but that'll be me, apparently in the wrong.

It's a shame it's come to this but I think it's time for a self enforced break for us two. Many thanks to everyone who's sent kind messages and best wishes to Alison with her eye problem.

The end of season meet at The Cud Life in Yorkshire will be our swan song as far as Forum events are concerned. It will be great to see lots of you there.

It's been a blast and a journey.

Well that's a shame, you will be missed on here, well by me if that helps!
