Don't know what happened, must have pushed the wrong button but message sent before I had finished. This is the end of the sentence of message 1 -- lovely to "meet" Charlotte or at least her voice -- it sounded Australian, was expecting maybe a Canadian accent. Great to say hello to you Charlotte, you have now met some of Steven's family, scary eh!!Keep safe and well and continue to have amazing experiences. love Mum
