Snapshot of a rose bush that Carl and Judy brought us when they came to see us last year. If you're reading this C. and J. you can see how well it's doing. This afternoon we drove over to Stanstead Airport in convoy. Ann and myself in our car with grand daughters Amelia and Georgia, and Ruth, Lasse, Tuva and Freja in their hired Audi. Ruth and tribe are flying home to Sweden, and Amelia and Georgia are going with them for a fortnight's visit. They (and their respective families) stayed with Ruth and Lasse last year, and they both decided that they loved Sweden and wanted a return visit. They both thoroughly enjoyed swimming in the lakes, fishing from Lasse's boat, cooking the resulting catch in the open air, and eating it. So they're doing it again this year. It's great that our grandchildren are able to enjoy such a privileged childhood. It's been lovely having them to stay, and it feels very quiet to be Darby and Joan again. Nearly bedtime, so goodnight all.

We are very lucky to have the best of both worlds. It was a tear-stained Audio that we returned to the airport, they didn't want to leave. Thank you for giving them the best of England.
It was great having you all here. We, too, hate having to part with you, and even your tough old Pa has been known to gulp back a not unmanly blub on saying goodbye to you. Much love, Pa and Granny.
