Was that last just a teaser or are you actually planning another trip to Victoria? Bobbie and I would be honored to again host you in our city and we offer you and your traveling companion rooms in our home for your stay.
I will place an order at Murchies Tea Shop, where we enjoyed an afternoon respite, and have your favorite in stock for you.
I also promise to keep this a secret so that you may visit without being mobbed by your admiring N. American fans.
Apologies, Steve, for my tardy response - I am currently on the 'sick-list' with severe (not 'acute') bronchitis and should not really be out of bed. However, when one lives alone it is utterly impossible to remain there 24/7 (I'm only 'up' now to make another cup of tea!). The 10-day course of Penicillin, prescribed by my wonderful Dr. will hopefully see me out and about again 'ere long.

An unexpected return to Victoria? Well, nothing is carved in stone, but there is a strong possibility that I could be heading your way sometime in the August/September/October period next year, before I head down to Palm Springs for a lengthy stay. This is just a plan I am tossing around in my head at the moment - so much will depend upon the financial situation nearer the time. I'm truly touched by the kind invitation Bobbie and you have extended and I will most certainly not overlook it! Thank you both and I'll keep you posted. By the way, I would probably be travelling alone, so I would be only half the burden!

Tea at Murchies - definitely an experience to be repeated!

Oh, yes! This must be kept a secret. I'd not want anyone else to know about it ........ until after the event.

Hugs to you both, and
