Alviti Rescue

One of the things in my life that makes everything easier is having such good friends and family around me. I'm truly blessed in that respect.

Us Alviti's are a tight knit pack, and look after each other. We also have friends who we treat like family. Yesterday, one of those friends broke down and the breakdown company were being terrible. It was going to be nearly midnight before they got picked up. So a quick phone call to my dad (who never seems to stop), he got a trailer there, and we got her car on it, swapped the trailer onto my truck. Then drove it back to our village and to the garage. And got Sarah back home (she backed the car off the trailer rather bravely!)

Wasn't what I was intending to do that evening, but these guys would do anything for us and have done many times in the past.



They were the ones we rang when my wife went into labour (the second two times) to look after the other children, or when I broke my jaw they were the first we rang for help. Or when our daughter got diagnosed with type one diabetes they learnt about it and helped support us. Or when the only toilet broke and my wife was heavily pregnant and I couldn't fix it on my own!
