Seconded - by another jealous one, but don't go to Aus, come to the UK. Please!
Sounds like you all had a rather better night than I did, as after I stopped chatting to Janet to let her leave for the meeting I got woken up by our grown up foster son who needed to go to hospital with a suspected stroke. Thankfully he is ok.
Glad your meeting went well. As Janet knows, I have tentative plans to come to Portland next year for a nice little holiday. I have always wanted to see America properly and God willing Alison and I may finally try to do it next year. If so I hope we may all meet up then.
