I don’t often have guest blogs here on the NikkiPilkington.com blog, as I’ve usually got enough to say myself!

However, things have been a little hectic recently so today I’m delighted to share with you a guest blog from Dave Thackeray, a man who came into my life about 5 years ago on a long day in Spain that involved watermelon, golf and ball gowns. ;)   If you haven’t checked out Dave’s blog, please do!

And of course, please have your say in the comments below!
