Update on the Stranded

The boys have all been confirmed on the first flight from Madrid in the morning. They will hopefully arrive at school at around 16:00. They have had a tough day by the pool/jacuzzi/sauna and are all heading out to the Hard Rock Cafe for tea.

Please do not feel upset that your child opted to spend an extra day away from his parents!!! (or the wives of IDM and BS for that matter)

I am sure they are all looking forward to seeing you. Even T Mc, he reliably informed me that he hadn't broken any garden furniture before this years tour and is not in trouble when he returns for a change.

All you can eat Buffet

The favourite words to any prop are 'All you can eat Buffet' and as the picture suggests, these two took full advantage the situation!!

The Dunc

Duncalf's dazzling conversation and humour has not only been noticed by the local ladies but also by the wild racoons in the rainforest earlier!! It did take him a rather long time to realise that it was the bag of crisps that had made him so popular not his taste in music and floppy blonde locks!

B.E.F.L

Unable to offer an explanation for this. It has been dragged around Chile, Argentina and Uruguay. Fortunately this was it's first and last outing on tour, hopefully!

Warm weather = Shorts on, tops off

The first bit of sunshine of the tour and in true Brit style the tops came off (Not mine thankfully).

Straight into the pool.
