BRUCE AND BERNIE Hi John The sky dive looked fantastic and all the other pics too. When are you off to usa. Gay and David came back today they had a fantastic time. Rosie starred in the Sea World show she was on a big screen and loved it. I am off to Cork on the 6th May so looking forward to that going to Schull again with Diane. Had booked the 7th but BMI cancelled the flight so now going on the 6th didnt think they could do that but they have - never mind. Enjoy rest of your trip. Looking forward to seeing you. Love B and B xxxxxxx
