Love it - Sehr Gut indeed. I won't make it, sadly - getting ready for the arrival of my new wheels instead, and saving my pennies (not that that'll make a difference… )

Ja Sehr, sehr gut. Was kommt als nächstes?
SWMBO is still saying for me to just go on my own, but sorry I cannot justify the selfish expense just now.
It is our youngest grandchilds birthday and promises have been made.

love the plate!


Just be careful nobody has a plate that could be misconstrued as a war reference .... we wouldn't want a repeat of Top Gear's Argentina visit.

Can I ask any others who wish to come to please let me know ASAP also anyone who wants to come as a passenger to confirm as I need to confirm rooms to our German friends (they are holding them for us for now) and also for numbers for the ferry bookings etc

Also if anyone would like t shirts let me know if they would like forum nickname or their first name on the shirt and sizes.

T shirts ordered for myself and Sergey so far

Due to some serious issues with elderly relatives we can't plan anything at present, so count me out.
