Name: Tom!

Age: 19
Met: Spring Harvest 06, Skegness!!
Comment: My gorgeous boyfriend! He's an amazing guy, and I'm not just saying that cos I'm biased. He blessed me loads at Spring Harvest, supporting me and being an awesome mate. I owe a lot more to him than he'd care to admit. Tom honey, I thank God for you everyday!

Name: James!

Age: 26
Met: Spring Harvest 06
Comment: A fab guy, with his heart set firmly in the right place. And not to mention, he's a boules player!! He deserves a mention for that fact alone!

"A hug is worth a thousand words. A friend is worth more."




Name: Charlotte!

Age: 18
Met: School. We were RS & Maths buddies
Comment: She rocks. She's just...nice! Everybody loves her. Not least because she's clever. It helps to know people like that;) Seriously though, we've not been friends all that long, but it feels like forever. She's been a fantastic friend this last year, and I hope that never changes.

"Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same."




Other people equally worth mentioning:

NIKKI FINEING (another mate from uni, absolute gem, and, as Laura says, adorable!)

ROB BEST (a.k.a. Pasta. What a dude! So miss lectures with him, and all his rants about chickens and lobsters... Safest not to ask!!)

ROB LOWDON (a.k.a. Bob Rob, strange boy with an obsession for formula one racing, and cookery shows, ha! Me local boy!)




* (Just to clarify, the bacon bits are in fact those soya ones that they usually use which are flavoured to make you believe they are bacon. For the vegetarians among us...)
