I would like to say how proud I am to have such two of my best friends if I may call you that say something like that. Nancy and Cherie you have kept me going through hard times, and I shall keep going although it is almost like winter at the moment here. I love you to see our little island and just some of the beauty it has. Cherie as I told you going up to Norfolk we found a thatched pub, although most of the tiny village had thatched roofs as well.
Nancy behind the pub was an 11th century church so despite a gale blowing I had to go and see it. Built in the early 1049 it sits there proud, and yes it has a thatched roof!
I know I can be a pain as I am so proud of my country, but ladies when you have a steak and onion pie with mashed potatoes and broccoli in a pub that goes back to 1587 why shouldn't I be! I would have been over the moon if you two were with me as well. Even the pub had a walled garden where the vegetables came from, totally beautiful.
My greatest hugs to you both after a rough couple of days.
Neil.
