On becoming part of this crazy family and all 3 of us (you, me and Monika) coming from a small family with one brother each, once the initial shock subsided we decided to embrace the fact that we now belong to a much bigger clan!
Over the years our own broods have grown to help keep the Thorpe name alive - and we certainly did a good job of that between us lol.
A love of family, obviously Thorpe sons, and most definitely the odd glass of wine has kept us going when things were tough.
We will never forget you Allison. Say hi to my Mum, she'll look after you.
Much love, Vanessa xx
