also, i went to see retreat two years ago and it was very similar to the one on my grecians and was quite disappointed. Also it is sauch a strong association with leaving the school i like to keep that memory in tact rather than disturb it with another that may not be as good

Not being personal Amy, but the older you'll get, the more you will want to return and 'remember'

Why not? He might no longer be a boy but we have to hope he is still her Best Friend

but I'm just as happy as when I had 48 million.

I was there woo!
Everyone was horribly older.
The beer was expensive.
I would have been in a photo but I ran away from the camera.
I accidentally slept in a puddle of mud. (it was reeeeeally dark! and cold!)
But all good fun :D

Nice, where abouts did you end up to sleep Ben?

I always used to love hearing about those stories of people being hounded out of barns at 3 in the morning...

The general idea was sharpenhurst (guessed spelling) but due to the aforementioned darkness, couldn't find it! We ended up on the path up the side of the wood, woken up by 2 labradors in the morning! Who needs a tent?!
