Lesley's Bit of Everything: My Best Friend Elaine who moved to OZ

Thursday, 23 April 2009

Elaine and Mick moved to Oz from Derby just over 12 months ago and I miss Elaine loads. We first met back in 1975 in the QARNNS when we were both students. We got married on the same date in August same year too but to different blokes (which is just as well) but both in the RN – Elaine married Mick & I married Joe. We then went in different directions for a few years but then met up again in Derby in 1980/1 & have been friends ever since. Over the Years we have had much fun together.	Before they moved to Oz we spent some good holidays and weekends away Joe & I in our caravan and they in their camper van. In our younger days we spent many a wicked weekend in Blackpool camping – our main focus the Pleasure Beach as this was a time before place like Alton Towers existed!!!
	I thought I would post some recent pics Elaine sent to me via the internet Elaine on her recent holiday to NZ with Mick at a Glacier at Milford Sound
Mick and Elaine at Timara NZ
