Meeting the Queen (2007)
The kids were thrilled to meet the Queen of the Channel Alison Streeter. I was impressed with her achievements prior to the swim having done it I now think what she has achieved is incredible and inspirational |

Following The Generals Orders (2007)
It was great to go back victorious to see Freda. She takes a lot of pride in one of her swimmers completing the width. So I was as pleased for her as I was for my self. |
