Cheers Excalibur (Billy)    Aww Billy and Claire, that's real sad news, especially as you were so glad to get out of S A. It doesn't seem that long ago that you arrived, can't you give it a bit longer? Will you be safe in S A?  It's a shame we never got round to meeting up, I was looking forward to meeting you both. Such a shame you won't be able to remain a member of B M.    Take care of each other, all the best.   Sandi                                                                                                                                                                                 

yes, I echo all that everyone else has said too Billy..........safe journey and best wishes for the future whatever it holds for you both in SA........take good care out there xxx We'll miss you for sure                                                                                                                                                                              

Thanx for the friendly farewells everyone,I've just received 2 emails that my subscription has been renewed for a further 3 months,this,after having cancelled it a week and a half ago! lol so it seems i'll be able to stay in touch for another 90 days albeit from way down south.The small town we're going to is in the Eastern Cape and is called Port Alfred ...google it,you'll see its a lovely seaside marina town that used to be a quaint fishing village,my son-in-law intends buying a pub there and wants us to manage it for him,its an offer i could'nt refuse.I will post foto's asap and yes by all means Andy and any others wishing to make the trip let me know my door is open.Sandi, i guess we will have to become vigilant again cos crime was my main reason for leaving the country in the 1st place but so be it.  Exc
