    As a fellow Scot (well, part-Scot/St. Clair) I say to you… have a bonny bonny trip! We’ll look forward to seeing your photos when you get back.

    Thanks Deb, as I suspected, internet connection is intermittent, but I do seem to have just a just the faintest of signal! More shortly!

    Have a wonderful and safe trip ESP.

    I’m VERY excited to see what you post upon your return! It’s wonderful that you have a Patch full of ruffians, natives, and witches to guard things while you’re away. I DARE anyone to cross the NaBooBoos! We KNOW what happens …

    Safest travels!

    Hi Jenny, thanks we did have a great trip, a mammoth post to be posted soon! It was really nice to go back to the homeland and see my family and friends. I gorged myself on scampi baskets and Walkers crisps!

    Germi, the ruffians, natives, and witches did a fantastic job of safe-guarding the patch in my absence, I only wish they would have also done a spot of weeding while I was away, a little too much to ask I know! A few of the ESP characters did smuggle their way into my carry-on luggage as you will see in my next post. It was interesting not to have any electronic access for a while.
    The rains have turned the ESP into a veritable jungle since my departure…the Naboos are in their element environmentally right now, they are also looking extremely well fed which I find quite worrisome, especially considering that the Tahoe insurance company is currently fighting the collision claim. I fear the tribe just may have devoured the only evidence I had! :-)

    Hi Chris, just got back and deliriously jet-lagged, makes me happy that my posts are looked forward to! A large posting is in the works, hey I have two weeks of material to condense and convey!

    Cheryl, I am back now, armed with a lot of new experiences and pictures…watch this space!
