Thanks for your messages.Firstly have a good trip Jan if you get this before you go. Bert I am insulted that you think your tree trunks are in the c*** sparra league. Not a patch on the real thing. Finally Margaret sorry if our garden is a wasteland after the Droys but keep trying.

I will now hand over to Liz who types faster.

Our last night in Dubrovnik, and we're enjoying the air con of this internet café - an opportunity to dry off in the warmth!! Pouring outside at the moment, and since this morning I've been wearing a VEST!

Dubrovnik is really stunning, but so many tourists spoil the effect, we think. Perhaps 3 nights here is a bit too much for we travellers, and I think we're looking forward to heading for Split tomorrow, again by bus. Getting withdrawal symptoms as it's ages since we've been on a train. Hoping we can find somewhere to eat indoors tonight!!

Hope the move to Dundee goes well, and all best wishes to Jennifer. Term starts really early nowadays!

Me again . I am missing golf a wee bit and will need all the 50ps which Sandy and I are bound to win in the near future to cover our costs. Much more expensive here with a half litre of beer being about 3 pounds.

Ever onward
