Re: Farewell
In 2 days I leave for Scotland
I was banned for the crime of annoying the blawhards with a reply about money transfers on "Do you earn 100,000". The boasters were most irked.
Interestingly the suburban wifeys were calling others names and the resident stato appeared to be questioning my integrity.(probably and accountant).
Anyway Islandergirl,pearly,kporte,FFF,Baby 75 ,Mags and many more thanks
for the company and best wishes to you all.
I have escaped and I'll post from the other side or the public library in Aus.
Yee ha !

Re: Farewell
6am walk, that sounds familiar, I also got through a stack of books in the hours between 2 -4am for the first few days.
Kev I hope you are putting EVERYONE right that says shite like why did you come back to all this rain etc etc.

Re: Farewell
5 years after we returned to the UK, people still ask why I came back, until you have lived outside of the box you will never understand.. Sounds like you have slotted back in ok.
