I've ordered an immediate change of course...we're heading for America. All able-bodied crew members who are not snowbound, please assemble on deck. Bring a large shovel if you have one. Gnu-type snowblowers are equally welcome.

      Seriously, how is everyone Stateside? The footage we've seen on the news in the UK verges on the unbelievable...the extent & sheer volume of the snowstorm takes my breath away...and more to come...gulp!

      Please check in with a brief: "Ok here", assuming your internet connection is functioning!

      Wendy...more hot chocolate & feet up, please.

      More about cards & violas later (-:

      Take good care of yourselves,
                                                   Much Love to you all,
                                                                                    Nigel
