I have just phoned Lou,
He is just off to Heathrow and Home to Dunedin,
He said it was time as he is now getting a little tired. I think he has done very well with all the traveling he has been doing while he has been here.
He has really enjoyed his stay and all the meetings with the lads on the site.
Good trip Lou
Cheers
Brian

My London Doings.
I spoke to Lou yesterday morning and wished him bon voyage,he did say whilst he has enjoyed every minute of his time here he will be glad to get home.Its going to be a long time on his feet so to speak,he will have been up since this morning and his flight is not until 10pm tonight.As it happens he has upgraded to business class so at least he will have some comfort.I wouldn't be surprised if he is fit next year that he makes the trip again.
Regards.
