glad to hear you arrived safely!

So do you have t'internet access while here, or is it a matter of finding somewhere with internet access wherever you happen to be?

McDonalds have free wifi if you have a laptop. You have to jump through a few hoops the first time you go on but as far as i know it is fairly straight forward!

Glad you made it safely Graham & Jilly.

Welcome to the United Kingdom, or Great Britain, or the British Isles, whatever takes your fancy for calling our small islands.

Looking forward to meeting up with you soon.
