From: Gill - Sam's mum

Great to hear everyone's news. Hi Sam - the music and company sounds even better than you'd ever hoped. It feels as though you are safe with friends and having a good time all of you! I wish I'd taken more notice of this e-mail thing before you went - our 'night before - crash course' has got me started but I feel oh so frustrated and want to do more. What are attachments? I still don't know how to get to a 'pm' but I'm sure you showed me. Never mind - I'm now hooked so will muddle through and learn on the hoof. When you get back I'll be an expert - or raving mad!

Naemonson - thank you so much for your kind hospitality looking after our trio. I hope Sam made his bed and did the washing up (just like he does at home??*)

Jeri - thanks for starting a new thread. It saves me reading all 100 each time as I felt sort of compelled to do! I would think that it will be back up to 100 again soon though.

Jools - hi! Fancy meeting you here:=) (I learned that from Sam's big brother Ben who said exclamation marks are not cool - !) Yes, we know our Sam is pretty nifty with the occasional buck and wing and wagon wheel.

Bye for now all. Hope Keene survives :=)
