Actually, I know we are all so proud of Andrew & Guy, but I think there needs to be a whole heap of recognition for you parents & partners and brothers and girlfriends and all those who have been right behind the boys all the way - supporting, encouraging, cajoling, keeping the faith and having belief! Hats off to all of you, you can now breathe and sleep easy! Oh yes, and PARTY !! Sue x
