Mum and Dad Dear Rich, We hope you reached Thailand OK and are having a wonderful time. We got back from Barcelona last night after a 3 hour flight delay. Chris's concert was terrific, and in a fantastic church. Barcelona was a most interesting city, well worth a visit. Grandpa seems to be doing well, though is still in Gloucester.

Did you set it?!
