Hi, Margaret. We watched the Tattoo last night also. It was great. I was lucky enough to be taken there when I was in my teens (yesterday!) by my mum and dad and the atmosphere is great.
Hope I might manage another Tattoo sometime.
All the best for 2007

At the creche our two grandsons attend they had their end of year party and the kids performed the nativity and we sang carols. I thought it was great and they have mixed nationalities attending the creche and every one enjoyed it.

Hi, Hugh. As you know we were down your way on Sunday with Jean and Harry, Should have taken them to Scotchman's Hill but I think Harry was happy enough with his Kilkenny at the Grand at Portarlington. We had a lovely lunch there. Jean and Harry will now be in Tassie with our friends, Sally and Geor...

Hi, Margaret. Sounds like it was a great day. Just as well it was airconditioned, you would have melted otherwise.

Hi, Hugh. Bobby and I spent the day at Eddies son's place. We all picked a horse in every race and they also ran a sweep. Didn't do any good in the sweep, I think my horse is still running but in our picks for every race I came equal second with Ian's dog Sophie. $30. Laid out $25 so at least I came...
