I Fully understand your worries @LizzieM2 of my Son's have been traveling some of the worlds worst trouble spots for a few years now.....i know they don't tell me everything and mainly stick to the humourist things......funny you mention Rwanda Lizzie both my lads are due out there in a few weeks...where ever they go i brush up my knowledge on the country and its current Political situation.....not always a wise thing to do.........

Had a terrific morning with one of my sons over Breakfast in Bulwell....Not seen him for 4 months.....he's been working all over East Africa.......he's been filling me in on his experiences from Somalia to Madagascar...he's now home for a few weeks..at least i'll have a a bit of time now not to worry about him... The trouble with having Sons who are hell bent on experiencing the World..is they don't realise how much i worry......although i love to hear their stories when they return........

Great memories of some 60s Party's....and old Pals...who all tried to look like Billy......not many made it........still know all the words to most of his songs.......... Locarno mens room......combed our hair like his..... 6 Pence for a shine on our 'Winkles'' Then hit the undulating Dance floor......looking for a lucky Girl...... We thought we were great....lol
