......no not me silly, Mr B my neuro-surgeon distinctly told me (amongst other things) NO LADDERS. So that was it, I couldn't abseil, even if I wanted to as to get to the top of the water tower, one had to climb a spiral staircase and the last part was some dodgy old ladder.......what a shame I had to watch from the ground (phewwwwwwww). I just wanted to share with all my Mac Friends, how proud I am of my husband Tony and my eldest son Jack (only one old enough to do it) for abseiling the Church Langley Water Tower on Saturday 30th April, together with the other instructor Paul from our karate club. We raised over £600 in a week for the Samantha Dickson Brain Tumour Trust and some very generous donations came from my Mac Friends, for that I thank you from the heart of my bottom.......ack you know what I mean Here's the guys before they set off (bear in mind that Paul is scared of heights, he did this before, but it's taken him 8 years to get the courage up to do it again - so I am really proud of our friend). Paul heading over the rails on his way down then it was my husbands turn, he loved it - wants to do Canary Wharf next year now note that the men left the 17 year old up there till last, how gallant of them! but Jack has done smaller abseils a few times before and took it in his stride. just to give some perspective of how high it really is, this is Jack without zooming in..... I am so proud I could burst.
