Back to England, great to be home for my nieces wedding, and to give my girls and grandsons plenty of hugs & watch them play football.  Its also great to catch up with friends. Had a good few days in York. Plenty of brandy in Tamworth, I think Pete has still got a hang over. My pockets were picked in Rugby, the trouble that causes and the contacts I have lost because of it are terrible. Then a few good days in London. Many thanks to Elisa and Dil for all there help.
