Tom had always talked to me about his time in Tunisia on hols; eventually we as a family got it together and Dee, all of the children and myself benefited from his dropping us a Luton airport in the old car; we had a great time and returned exhausted in the early hours: BUT..... no Tom at the return exit through....??

Suddenly from across the hall shouting in Arabic  came a fully dressed Sheik in full attire shouting for "zee Fox famileee": it took a full 2 minutes for the penny to drop.....Tommy the Sheik at Luton Airport at 2 a.m .....we all fell about in stitches.....and shock!!!

The ride home was precarious as he insisted on keeping the long gown around the accelerator and brakes!! The kids adored him...

ps I still have water psitol he brought on a visit to Bodmin which saw us all soaked during that lovely afternoon with tricks for all of the kids; my present was a walking stick with attached mirror for upward gazing!!! He then set about trying to kick it away as my support laughing all the way....

Rest in peace mon amigo.....xxx
