A Brit in Bragg Creek!
Trevor, You may remember we met at the Outpost last summer, with Harry and Ed. I have come out for a few days break and am having a great time with Sue and Neil, and the dogs and cats, here in Bragg Creek. Sadly I fly back to the UK tonight after a really fun few days. Sue showed me your journal this morning and it looks as if you guys are having such a gr8 time The photos are really good and Mui Ne looked a good place. I will keep in touch with the rest of your trip from the UK. Take care and have a ball! Sarah
