Stephen and Shaun
I have to say, all this emotional overload, is turning me into a nervous wreck. These are the people, who should have been in our life and it is only now, after what we have been through, that we can finally see that. Far too late as per usual. I am, however, glad, they have been with us, for our final flight!
Darrell and myself, along with Chris, arrived at 12.30pm and settled down to have a beer. I had no idea what Natalee had planned for us.
At 1pm on the dot, I was shocked to see my besties Stephen and Shaun turn up. This was no easy task, since they both live in Cornwall and had driven for four hours to say goodbye to us.

Natalee is such a great girl. I am going to miss her so much, she has done so much for me, it really is going to be a wrench. How does one say goodbye to such a close, loyal and wonderful person. Well there are going to be more tears for sure. If there are any left. I have been saving them especially for that very day I depart!
You have made my final week here in The UK, happy and pleasurable. I look forward to your Wedding this year and spending time with us in Europe on your Honeymoon x
I'm beginning to feel a bit like a condemned man at the moment. With a steady flow of visitors from my dim and distant past filing into Capri, it feels a bit like being on death row and could very well end up that way!
On the plus side, it really does show, just how many good and valued friends we do have, more than I care to remember. We are bloody lucky!

Surprise Visit!
On Friday, Natalee had told us to meet her at The Giddy Bridge. To be honest, I was in a mood and really did not want to go!
Now our Natalee is not known for keeping secrets, but on this occasion, she had helped arrange for them both to come to Southampton and managed to keep it quiet. It was the best surprise I could have ever asked for.
These two are special to me, and I love them dearly, so to see them before we emigrate was wonderful. I am still tearful about it now!

Jamie and Natalee came to Capri after work and it was nice to spend quality time with close friends.
When Stephen and Shaun left, I was understandably upset and cried yet again, because I have really realised, just how important friends are in my life and by God they have been there for us!

Gemma Wooldridge
The ever enduring memory I have of Gemma, is her riding her horse up to the garage we ran in a tiny village. Not a care in the world as she rode Saxon up to the petrol pumps. Village life suited us then and a quieter existence is just what we need now, We met many wonderful characters, just like Gemma and her even more eccentric mother, who was always the life and soul of the village, never putting more than £2.50 worth of fuel in her car!
Gemma always loved the Christmas Parties, which I will add, were paid for by me, as all employers should do!
Gemma likes a drink, always dresses to shock, even putting a bit of lippy on, which she rarely does and always manages to have just one too many
Love to all of you, who visited over the last few days! x

Yet another surprise visitor yesterday evening. Darling Gemma. One of the most gorgeous people I have ever met. Beaming smile, endearing laugh and as bubbly as a bubble bath. We met Gemma in the year 2000, when we employed her, in a business we were running at the time. We have always remained friends. She has also been there for me, during some dark times, which I thank her for!
As a local village shop, as well, I will never forget Gemma's Mother, trying to tick cigarettes, telling us to give her daughter the bill and in the days before chip and pin, borrowing her daughters card, in the hope we wouldn't notice!
There are no airs and graces with Gemma, what you see is what you get. She is a typical horse loving, village lass, with a heart of gold!
