Spot on.

I do believe I've actually completed this now rightly or wrongly but not without a lot of help from my friends on here.

Well done Gill and thank you palman. Have you finished it too? I found it rather a challenge but very enjoyable nevertheless. Yesterday was so traumatic for me. Got news that my sister-in-law had been air lifted from a cruise ship in Alaska and flown for emergency treatment in Seattle. Apparently she suffered a stroke but they have managed to stabilize her and she is being transferred to Austin, Texas for rehab. so all fingers crossed. Things like this are so much more worrying when one is so far away.

Take care and happy quizzing. Love S x

Wow Ray - I'm extremely impressed - good on you. Very worrying time and I don't know whether to fly over but Vera's children and their partners are all being brilliant. I've managed to get her cell phone number so will ring her when the streets are aired over there. Eventually got the number from Vera's grandson's lovely wife Shelley whose 8 month old little daughter has just been diagnosed as being severely visually impaired. All seems to be going wrong at the moment. Waiting for 3pm BST and when it will be about 9am across The Pond. Love again S x We'll probably have the border guards after us for chatting too much but I've really enjoyed it and thank you for your very kind support.
