#9... Thought you were in the South of France playing havoc with the Madamasouiles . Never could spell that word just used to call them madams for short. Especially as time was money so to speak. Hope you didn’t get sun stroke on top of your sun burn. Didn’t there used to be a list of rememberance in the Mill Dam Missions to Seamem?
I”m still not right after that fllight back from Manchester. Have put the compasses on Perth and subscribed a circle and New Zealand is going to be the limits of my future wandering. All that hustle and bustle traffic clogged up on the streets, bins only emptied once a fortnight , what do you do with all the empty beer bottles.? Hope Pat still keeping you in check. Cheers JS

#10... Keith .. Cappy only goes to Shields to see if he can find the Co-Op milkman’s horse. He had great affiliations with him/her at one time. It’s a labour of love and a good excuse to get back to the areas he knows. Cheers JS
