Saturday 25th June.. The last time you caught up with Thea Maria & Chrusa.. Proof ... that you were not born in 1979!
BTW..great idea Toula with this website.. Also, Orania says hello and that her daughters are in Greece too with their father.
Hope you and your family are well.. and having a wonderful holiday!
Response: I knew you would message me about the date Angelo! he he..ok I wasnt born in '79 it was '73..ok..that is my story & I am sticking to it! I know this is great idea..you all get to hear our stories pretty soon after they happen rather than 9 weeks later! I will be so jealous when you & Rosie are overseas next year! Say a big hi backto Orania for me too and hope the girls are having a great time! Hope work is going well too!
