Quiz No. 4   was a straight forward Christmas wordsearch which you shouldn’t have had too much trouble with.  The only comment I will make is that the word “Pudding” appears twice in the list of words and on the grid itself.

Several weeks ago Anita suggested that Paul could walk over the top of the O2 arena!  Anita had done it a couple of times before and was sure Paul would love it.  I must admit I was a little apprehensive – I was sure he wouldn't have the nerve.  I gave her the money and she booked it.

The day arrived, 23rd December and off they went.  Fortunately it was a nice day – cold and windy bit plenty of sunshine and no rain.  Anyway Anita and Paul proved me wrong, he absolutely loved it and was so proud of his achievement – so was I.  It was the right time of year to go – they had built a little hut on the very top which had seats and a few Christmas trees – see photo's below.

I got to wondering if any other club members have done that walk?  I you have please let me know.  If you haven't, perhaps you should give it a go.  It wouldn't suit everyone, I don't think my Karen would have done it (but I thought that about Paul!).  It certainly was a truly amazing experience and my sincere thanks to Anita for talking me into allowing Paul to go, and for taking him.
