    Aw thanks chums!

    GP - I have a block of that good stuff in my hand luggage :-) smoked for our holibub cheese board :-)

    I have swapped my car for a son :D and we are winging our way toward the lands of large hairyplanes.

    Aunty mcB-wik has loaded us up with oodles, cuppa soups and hot chocolates too - good lass!

    Onwards to the bargainous hotel for the evening (cash back too of course)

    :)

    Waves her way through the central bit of Englandshire

    Ps starburst a silly name for opal fruits ;) no clue why they changed it
