<br>A grand wedding combined with a trip to the Philippines has left us with lots of pictures and lots of stories. Only a few are here.
<br>Mom and Dad flew from England for the wedding and stayed just over week afterwards. We took them to Donna's hometown and to Boracay, Manila and Taal Volcano.
<br>Bruce, Ann, Paul, Ced, Rob and Neil flew over with me a week before and we spent a 4 days that felt like a lot longer before arriving in Baguio.
