Can I present your host for the evening...

Well hello everyone.
If you are wondering how it is that Mark has managed to post a blog from lovely Wales, he hasn't. I have been given the privelege of guest writing for him. Let me introduce myself for those who don't know me. My name is Kyle, I am one of Mark's very crazy friends, married to another of his even more crazy friends (My lovely Toni).

I played a game tonight at a meeting, a sort of ice breaker that I think is very fitting since I have never met most of you and you can get a little insight into my life. I will write three things, one is a lie. You have to decide which is the lie, the difficulty is that the people I did this with could see me, you on the other hand have til the end of this post to decide...

1) My middle name is longer than my first and last name combined.
2) I have been backpacking across Europe.
3) I am originally from South Africa.

So, lets see if you can figure out if I am a good liar in writing.

On to the next topic...
I am able to write Mark's blog for one main reason, the holiday he is on? Well I spent two dys with him and some friends there, I unfortunately have had both the good and bad sides of getting a job. Unfortunately that meant I had to come home for the week. I am going back tomorrow (can I hear a whoop for Pwllheli!).

It occurs to me that I should write something relevant to Mark so I guess you may be wondering how I know him. I never went to school, college or work with him. I actually met him via my wife. Its one of those cool things about getting married, you gain an entirely new branch of friends. I knew of Mark and the gang, but until our last holiday to York, I never really knew them. Now, well I guess if he trusts me to write this and not talk drivel then I guess it speaks for itself.

I am not really sure what else I can tell you, I'm sure its too soon for my life story! So I think with that I will bid you farewell. It has been a hoot blogging for you and Mark.
Until next time, remember, I have never and don't ever want to backpack across Europe!

Kyle
