A great set of images you have there, Derek, which tells the story of your brief trip to France perfectly. I am not so sure you should have mentioned Elaine's age however - she doesn't look anything like the figure you quoted, either in her photos or face-to-face! I doubt my card arrived in time to be among those Elaine is holding as I managed to post it only the previous day; sorry Elaine. It would appear that you both were justifiably and appropriately pampered during your stay over there, which is only right and proper.

I am so disappointed that I will not now be able to be with you both in Rennes next month - I know it will be another truly great gig for Dan and Elaine, and I'll be there in spirit.

Take care,
Ham.
