It was our 16th wedding anniversary yesterday, we are popping out to Ibiza town for a meal tonight which should be lovely. Celebrating 16 years of more ups than downs with my beautiful wife.

What's been strange is that this week we have helped quite a lot of 17 year old people, I am sitting here at 8 in the morning, the sun is shining, it's very peaceful, my children are up and life seems normal but I have just spent the last couple of hours with Dave looking after two 17 year olds in the local medical centre. They are now back at there hotels safe and sound.

I guess it makes me feel older, dealing with people who were one when I got married!

I should probably go to bed but I'm just going to sit here eat a banana, finish my mint tea, check out the BBC website and then hit the sack.

It's good to be alive and share that life with someone you love.
