mick and helen Have been looking at the photos, obviously you are enjoying yourselves. Summer arrived here Thursday, 27 Degrees at 5pm. Lasted 2 days. Took volantary redundancy last week. Think I'll have a gap year. Have asked Hel if she has anything to say. She thought about and said "say hello" Is this a trick question?
