Open invite to join in a trip to Europe including our place – 4th to 18th August 2012 Adrian & Sandra,  who have stayed with us twice now (and helped us out at the recent NEC bike show)  are planning another visit this coming August.  They would like to invite others to join them, particularly [...]
