Belated Congratulations to Louella and Mary Grace, Iain. It's been a long, hard slog for the three of you, but thankfully that's all behind you now. My apologies for the delay in responding to this thread ... which I realise you'd initiated just before Christmas ... but when I first read it, you had been busy with the paraphernalia involved in applying for the British passports, and I thought I'd wait until those were issued.

So NOW - with everything finalised - "the world's your oyster", mate ... if you can still afford it!
