This really should have started some time ago when I first met my future wife. I had booked a horse riding holiday in Italy and took my mother along as she had not been to too many place before and I thought it would be a nice trip away. Little did I realise that I would meet An, a Flemish girl, who would later become my wife.
The first meeting did not get off too well as I recall. We were all waiting in Pisa airport for the transport to take us to the stables. There were six of us in all, a vet from Bristol, two girls from Belgium, Jacques a pensioner from Belgium and my mother and I from Gateshead. I cannot remember the vet's name but the other girl from Belgium was called Sabine. We were picked up by Sadio the husband of the lady who ran the stables, Donatella. During the trip I offered my sweets as an ice-breaker, no ice was broken...
That was back in October 2005. In October 2007 we bought a house together and in May 2008 we were married. I might add that I am in the Royal Navy and was working away from home for most of the time. I will recollect more at a later stage but for now I will sign off this and give a more up to date blog of my activities this weekend.
