D DAY -6 ENGLAND 24 JUNE 2008

Jackie writes: Mike & I are going whitewater rafting for 65 miles down a river to the sea; we have to do it! I've been whitewater rafting in Canada near Lake Louise . . . it was an experience not to be missed. He's really excited about it cos he's never done it before. Then there's the wedding on 12 July; we should have loads of photos this year. I bought an eight-gigabyte memory card for my camera; then there's the video and Mike's cameras, so between all of them we must get some decent pics. Mike sent invites out to his friends, knowing that none of them would be able to go, but they were all invited. This is the best kind of wedding to organise: no table plans; no worrying about whom to invite or not; and who won't speak to whom. I think Anne's starting to get quite excited; she comes from a little Scottish village and until she met Mike, had never been outside of Scotland, so this is a big holiday for her - six countries in one go.

AND WE'RE ON OUR WAY
