A HEREFORD couple will be abandoning their caravan on the Welsh coast this year for a luxury Caribbean cruise.

Chris Bevan, of Station Road, won the eight-day cruise after entering a phone-in competition run by the popular ITV holiday show 'Wish You Were Here'.

The question was 'Which fish is native to the Atlantic?' to which Chris answered 'cod'. Now she will be sailing off with husband David in May.

"I was having my lunch last Friday when I decided I would phone - I hadn't even heard what the question was but knew it would be easy," said Chris, who says she never enters competitions.

She wasn't going to wait to hear if she had won, and was about to go back to work when the telephone rang and she was told the exciting news.

She told her friends all about it at Disraeli Court, where she works as an assistant warden.

Chris and David, who is a plumber with the council, normally holiday in Saundersfoot where they have a caravan.

"It is nice to know that ordinary people win holidays," added Chris.
