Monte Carlo with the Sheilas ..... (above) they are taking it by storm ...... painting the town red .. ........

Now this was a few years ago!
But they still travel - Joy off to New York this week and returning to go to Mexico for 2 weeks and then home to return to Mexico again .....

Daughters Joy, left, and Ann ...... they call each other 'Sheila' or 'She' ....... they had an early childhood of travelling as you can see.

But don't think we were rich then - or now.
Every year we used to take a mini-bus full of Vicky Pollards and their boy friends to an adventure in Italy, South France and other exotic locations .......... the first time we bought a mini-bus for £30.00 and pushed it more than it was driven!! ... ... ... almost.

One year there was six vehicles in the convoy ....
..... all the way to our favourite destination -
a camp site on the Italian 'Ligurean Riviera' ...... hmmmm such memories ...

The young humans all got so drunk on the way down through France
the rest of the trek
they all turned to drinking tea
for the remaining two weeks ...........

Formative years for them .....
...... for the Sheilas
...... for me and Joan ....
.... hmmm
