Hello Giok,
I forgive you the " pferde " remark !! Yeah, thanks we're keeping okay.
Hello Dani,
Yes Wilkie is a Scots name ( as, of course, is Colin ) and we are members of Clan MacDonald. I was born in South London but of a Scots/English mix ( when England plays Scotland I can't lose !!! )
Hello Abby,
Well that was a really big surprise for me and Shirl - bin a helluva long time ( 40 odd years ) since the old " Monaco " in the Rue M'sieur Le Prince, days, ain't it ? It's still there, but totally changed. I'll mail you and we must try to bring each other up to date - I'm still in contact with several of our Paris mates.
Finally hello Wolfgang,
Wish my written German was as good as your written English. Thanks again for the translation of " Eppelein "
All the best to all of youse
       Colin
