As they say, no news is good news and William has continued to do remarkably well. We are not back up to GOS until February and the one year BMT anniversary is looming but before that it's Just a walk to the beach.
Just in case, dear readers you don't know to what I refer, this is our fundraising event for Jeans for Genes and The Sick Children's Trust. Many of our amazing families and friends (or as I think of them extended family) are travelling over 2,200 miles and getting sponsored to walk and pedal their way, carrying a surfcraft to Saunton Sands in North Devon for the big finish on Sunday 14th September. How mad are they? We are thrilled by their involvement and bowled over by their support. So thank you all, for everything and good luck and safe travels to you all. For more details see www.justawalktothebeach.org
We will post piccies here and on the Just a walk website so keep your eyes peeled.....

A bit about us
The Curtis family live not far from Bath. Robert is the Daddy and works for the National Trust as a gardener and enjoys being outside, he is the oldest sk8 boarder in the village. Catherine is the Mummy and is part of the Hairy Pot Plant Company http://www.hairypotplants.co.uk
Gillie is the dog (a black & white English Springer Spaniel, we couldn't afford the colour license, ha de ha) and guards us and makes big hairy muddy messes and we love him.
William is the boss and his birthday is 7th February, although he has problems with some of his genes the farming gene is prevailing. When not making sheep noises he is pointing at tractors and paddling in the sea in water deeper than his wellies.
Granma and Pappa Curtis live near Winchester. Pappa is a farm worker and Granma is a domestic goddess. Pappa is always the first port of call when anything needs fixing and Granma keeps us well fed.
Grandma and Grandpa Battam are retired and live in South Devon. They are in charge of monitoring tanker movements on their river, nothing sails in or out without them noticing. When not tripping the light fantastic they can be found cruising the high seas or the A303.
