Nah, not that cheeky boy on the Ed 'stewpot' Stewart radio show, from the 1970's.

Ladybug arrived at Bristol Airport, a week last wednesday.

...So far :-
She has been stung by a wasp.
Fallen flat on her
Nearly fallen off a cliff (slight exageration)
Been cold
Been rained on

...But she's still smiling & so am I.

WOW I am envious.

I am hoping the same thing will happen for us next weekend. (Manchester I hope, not Bristol)

Thanks so much, it's all good...just trying not to overwhelm her, with meeting too many friends etc. as she's very shy.

... well, YOU'RE a dark horse, matey - first WE'VE read of your good lady's arrival - although I knew it must be imminent!

Anyway, I'd like to wish Maria (Ladybug) a hearty to the UK ... and all the best to you both for your future as a married couple here.
