Day 72 - "Hit the road Jack.....

.....and don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more."

Oh please do! 

So Daz & Dicky have gone and today I had my own roving photographer out in the field getting the departure shot, Ms Harris did a stellar job!

As promised part 2 of the Jackwood memories!

Darren

His moment was a night when we were waiting for our friends from Wakefield to arrive (Rachel & Jamie, aka the Northern Monkeys).  If I remember rightly they got caught up in horrendous traffic and while we waited for them we just had to uncork the wine....for some reason that night we got trollied very quickly!!  There are so many photos from that night, unfortunately - many that should be deleted from every device.....me with tights over my head like a dodgy bank robber and scarily me looking like I'm giving birth to Darren....please don't ask as we have no idea!!  When the Northern Monkeys finally arrived they must have just wanted to get in their car and head back up the M1. 

Roxette is Darren's musical choice!  Pre-Tree/Chavis, Darren didn't know the group very well - but after a few nights with us we changed that and introduced him to some classics - some of Darren's favourites are "It must have been love" "fading like a flower" and of course the Roxette Megamix!  "Don't bore us get to the chorus".....

Richard

Xmas Day 2012 was Dickys favourite memory. He shone in the culinary department that day, and dished up a first fabulous Christmas dinner for Darren and their Christmas Tree (that's me, by the way).  The day and night then just got funnier and more epic...helped along the way by Cava and Disaranno. We were joined by Natalie, Carl and Marcin and played games (Cranium and willy hoopla, again don't ask), danced and laughed until the early hours of Boxing Day. I remember a photo taken of the empty bottles in their kitchen......very worrying!  But an Xmas that will never be forgotten.....

Cheryl Cole's "Fight for this love" is his song of choice.  The reason for Chezza's song is that he remembers a Sunday X-factor night when both Cheryl and Whitney performed live on the result show....it was an hour of high emotions, not for who was being evicted from the show but could Cheryl perform live and most importantly how would Darren's Diva do....Whit did well apart from a wardrobe malfunction and Cheryl was......Cheryl!!!!  But then we got a bit carried away for a Sunday night....I believe there was dancing in the kitchen.....

Better go as I promised the boys I would help unpack their cutlery!
