A nice surprise in Brussels

Post by 1989_claret » Fri Jul 21, 2023 4:22 pm

Walking through Brussels and hear, “this way Howard” so turn round and my brother is stood there. He has flown in from Brisbane to see my dad and I. I haven’t seen him since 2017 and just burst into tears.

Big thanks to CT who has helped him get a seat on Jjjack’s coach tomorrow.

That's brilliant! I think we were all wondering who CT's secret attendee was - and now we know!

Great work Tony!
