    What a fGreat trip your having Lou,
    ENJOY.
    Very few people ever get into the Foreign Office, you were Honoured.
    Plenty of memories on theis trip,
    All the best for Scotland. Try the distilleries and get the whisky tasting.
    Cheers

    Hello Lou
    Well with all that running around mate by the time you get back home to NZ you will fit enough to Play Rugger for the All Blacks haha!

    You still have a long stay there Lou,and i am sure there will be many more Stories from you before the Holiday is ended!

    I am so glad that you are enjoying yourself,just go with the flow,try and get a wee bit of rest inbetween all the hussle and bustle haha!

    George and I had the privilege of meeting Lou in Liverpool. He is an amazing and very interesting man to talk and listen to. If I ever make it to his age and am half as good as he is I won't complain. I certainly won't forget him.
