BIG Thank You
Just a note to say a really BIG thank-you for the group photo book you put togther. It arrived last week and was a real highlight in an otherwise cold and miserable wet week.

Delightful Trip
Just a quick note to thank you for a delightful trip and to especially thank you for your patience, kindness, sense of fun & generosity.Also I very much appreciated the stop at Singapore on the way home. I don’t think the old body would have managed without the break.
