About this blog

I am taking my Mum to Egypt to see the Pyramids. She has done so much for me over the years that now I feel that I can do something in return. My mother has always wanted to go to Egypt and see the Pyramids since hearing her father speak about them. (He fought at El Alamein during the War)

After relaying the fantastic experiences of our trip in 2006, she commented "It's the one place in the world that I would have liked to go but I'll never get there now". "Why not?" I asked. She replied "Because your father wont bloody fly". I decided right then that I would take her. That was two years ago.
