Thanks for the Postie card Sean. Anne said she thought it was a promo card and nearly binned it! I haven't seen a postcard for years and it was a joy to see that someone can still write. 

Not much to say from over here. Can't get to do outside things as it has been dull and wet for nearly 2 months. No summer again this year and we looking forward to be re acquainted with the golden ball on our annual golf trip to Portugal next February. If you want to see how grim it really is here, tune into the "Open" from Thursday. I bet all the Americans will say "how can anyone live in such a miserable country as this"?
