sailor99 Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Nope skegness. Even the posters hint at how parky it is AND feature the lights in the sky: Of course the Fisherman would need to go further afield for that kind of holiday now - Thailand probably.

johnnmitchell Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Hello Family and as most of you know I'm off to another adventure and to unite this world one kite at a time.... Well just coming from flying in the park by the tower and I even gave a lesson or two and think were goingto have some new French fliers in the fold before long.... So Paris was, well Paris was Paris but I'm really itching to get some real flying going so I'm off to Dieppe in the morning where the winds are off the water and it's another group of people that want to know " wheres Ben'..... :blue-grin: So as I prepare I wanted to reach out to all my new mates over in Portsmouth and Bristol and thank you for making it the trip of a lifetime, and to say from the bottom of my heart I'm proud to call you friends, mates, or Family cause all of you were even more than I expected face to face and to remind you that you always have a place to stay if your in my part of the world and even if I'm not there your still welcome to stay ay my place, you just can't play with all my kites.... Well that's all for now see some of you at Dieppe as for the rest well you just never know "wheres Ben"............. Ben The photo looks like you have Lapland in Finland planned for your travels. Is Italy still in your plans for this trip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beach Posted October 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Well Family I'm back from Atlantic Beach N.C. And I sure do have fun over there even when the winds blow at 30 plus mph, so it's a wrap for this year and it's time to just heal up a bit and get some long due R and R at the home front for a change...... :blue-cool: Not to say if the call comes in I won't jump at the chance to add another adventure to the list but for now it's about licking my wounds and ...... It's been a great year Family and that was because of all of you and for that I'd really like to thank you, I can't say where I'll be next year but I'm sure that you'll see me on some beach with a set of handles in my hands..... Also keep in mind that my start of the year is right here at home in San Diego for the New Years day fly and remember my door is always open if you don't mind sleeping on a blow up bed so if your thinking of coming out you always have a place to lay your head......
