:) Maeve I missed the boys ploughing match this year but love to go down and see the it is so funny to watch dads and grandads shouting advice and measuring like their life depended on it.

Let's hope they organise the escape committee quickly. You could always follow the example of the brother of my big brothers German friend. He had been taken prisoner by the Russians. He noticed them trying to figure out how to make a bicycle work. He offered to show them how to ride it. Back and forward he rode then let them try again but they had never seen one before so were still very wobbly so he offered to show them again, jumped on the bike and peddled furiously down the road.
