Lesley
still have photographs  from Thomas  of his times with you guys.
I  cannot believe its six years on  july 25th since his fated journey from the nest.
we have a beautiful stone memorial  overlooking souda bay ,across from souda mare hotel.
the guys were all so marvellous, met them all on july 25th 2001
when we took the ferry boat into souda,drank loads of raki
and sang the manchester rambler till we could cry no more.
nikos   I  am pleased he is open again, last year I was their with my new bride
Julie   and we were with pete and riety and their leicester friends.
nest was closed so they were staying at nice place with a pool 
close to souda bay  maybe its called souda bay apartments??
we stayed at souda mare    my wife thought crete was just lovely.
we did athens /rome /ondon /paris manchester lleicester and plakias
next month ,I move to florida afterr 30 yeas in canada
would have been nice to have had thomas  visit.
we were very close and I miss him more with each passing year.
will be in aegean in mid august but alas no kriti
tears about that  but with a group of 20 and cruise is venice and back
will contact you private
