thank you everyone - ..
Yes, Lf, can I take you up on that offer to meet me at Heathrow - thanks so much. You'll have to look out for a big mama with long white hair and rosy cheeks. Greg, I would love to go to that festival, and to meet your friends - I think I'm going to have to clone myself before I go so I get to do everything - & Dave, I especially, more than anything want to meet Avril Betts. I have replied to your pms, Khatt and Moses, and would love to take up your offers. I hope that I can meet people at a session or two before the long weekend, and at this stage am not sure which festival to go to. afterwards I could go up to visit jacqui, and perhaps further north for a couple of days. I would like to go to scotland if I can, being half scottish, a few generations back. my great grandfather, James Wallace, brought the first tug boats to Sydney harbour. my mother was elsie jean wallace - can't get more scottish than that.

more than anything I will have to work out what tickets I get and fit in with my daughter (she hasn't checked her email yet, so doesn't know!)

your responses have great - thanks so much
