Friendship across the miles...........................

Dennis, Joanne and their daughter Katy are very, very special friends of ours from Ontario, Canada.  We originally made friends with them back in about the year 2000 and the friendship has grown and grown.

They came to the UK in 2003 and we went to stay with them in Canada in 2006 to celebrate our 10th Wedding Anniversary and it was a magical trip!

They are more like family than friends and mean so much to us.

Make Up Fairy Godmother  

2006 saw a surprise meal for Karen planned by her Mum and kept top secret by Dave.  Gill had arranged for Karen to meet her "make up fairy godmother" - Stacey Schieffelin of Models Prefer Cosmetics, now YBF cosmetics. .  A wonderful evening was held at a nearby hotel and Stacey was joined by her husband David and 2 beautiful daughters, Sydney and Samantha.  Karen is in touch with Stacey often via e-mails and refuses to use any other cosmetic brand.
