Friends ...all, for your kind words of encouragement which, as always, are very much appreciated.
That's only part of the story, btw.If I were to share the whole of it, I'd have been here all day and half the night as well, most likely.
Oh ... nearly forgot to mention that, when we finally arrived home on Monday evening, guess what we discovered? (... don't bother ... you couldn't ... not in a month of
bloody Sundays !!!!!

Lying there on the carpet was ANOTHER buff-coloured envelope from Belfast - delivered Second Class in our absence. Inside, was a further communication requesting (believe it or not) to see Myrna's naturalisation certificate again "to check the correct order of names" - this from the selfsame source (ir)responsible for returning that very document two days previously.![]()
