Hi Dad (Jeremy) its Jess. Hope you're coping out there and all that training with 'fenton' is paying off! Thinking of you. Letting you know I passed the year - no resits in summer! Not quite as impressive as a CBE (very proud). Miss you looking forward to your return. Lots of Love xx

Hi Guy! Katie gave us the Web address and told us to be in touch. Our altitude here is 95m. I gather yours is higher. Our weather is cold and windy, but yours may be worse. I am impressed. Keep thinking 'forsan et Haec olim meminisse iuvabit' Simon and Jennifer.
