Val and Bill, we were inches away from each other this year, such a shame we didn't get to say hello .... maybe 2017, then. Or, if not, any other year will be good to meet you both, I think we are annual visitors for ever more to our paradise!
Sonia, that's fab news, it'll be good to meet you too next year.
Neill, that's so kind of you, thank you very much, I would be delighted to ..... refuse your offer
Phil and Jen, if you're there when I am next year, I promise not to break your ribs everyday with enormous, crushing hugs - I think I was just so happy to be there this year that whenever I saw you both there wasn't any words to say that could fully express my happiness, so I just gave you both hugs that could convey all our silent knowing that we were 'home' and that we recognised as much in each other?
