We first went abroad in 1983 to Brittany when it was so hot there was a shell-fish ban! As the following year in Cornwall was a wash out we vowed to never trust the British weather ever again for a summer holiday. Since then we have tent camped in various parts of France and when David and Jo stopped coming with us in 1992 we "graduated" to a tunnel tent and then into motor-homing with our little Suzuki in 1996. We began to be able to take "short breaks" in the early 1990's and have used them to visit Paris, parts of Holland and Belgium, Lanzarote, Rome, Barcelona, Venice,  (with Roland's mum), the Balearics, Malta and favourite haunts in Wales and England - in Suzi and Daisy.
Sometimes Kathy has been abroad on her own with the CBSC, to Holland and Belgium and memorably to sing Beethoven 9 at the Charles V Palace in Granada, southern Spain. A big treat was us both travelling to Vienna in May 2002 when Sir Simon Rattle recorded Beethoven 9 with the Vienna Philharmonic and the CBSC at live performances in the Musikverein "Golden Room".
