Kendall - and everybody else - there's no need to rub it in, it's bad enough as it is not being able to be there :-((

However, I simply couldn't afford the airfare, not coming so soon after going "'cross the pond" once. Now, what really bugs me is that I was actually just north of Boston for two weeks in May this year spending an enjoyable time with elderly relatives I'd never met before.

But, had I known about this gig, I'd have delayed my holidays to coincide with it. Heck, by US standards North Shore MA is just about within walking distance of Portland if you're sufficiently determined, isn't it?

So, stop rubbing, PLEASE ;-))

Best wishes,

Bente in far away Denmark
