Apologies to everyone for my silence. After last weekend's gig, Ann & I travelled down to a remote part of South-West England for a few days R&R...no internet...no mobile phone service, that type of remote! Much to read since I last posted & clearly it is Wendy & Billy who are most in need of our Love & Support.
      One of the great strengths of this thread is the shared ownership. It doesn't matter if me or anyone else can't post for a few days, there are always plenty of other crew members on deck, ready, willing & able to keep us on course. I'm very grateful for Wendy's thanks, but as I've said before, I view the thread as 'ours', rather than 'mine', so I want to thank Wendy too.
      And to all of you aboard The Rainbow, my heartfelt thanks for your loyalty; for your love & care; your selflessness when you too have had more than enough with which to contend. You are a rare & precious group with whom to sail through Life's stormy waters.
    With Love to you All,
                                    Nigel & Ann.
