Hi Darlin Just watched your blog at Gillians. MAGICAL! This beats the postcard that Grandad has been expecting. Can't believe you have done half the things that you have done and I bet you you've only told us half. Wonderful pictures and wonderful people by the sound of it. Sara sent this to Gill from Australia. Love you, miss you XXX
