Intermittent transmissions

Back on line again, after ten days break while my son moved house from Hever to Edenbridge in Kent. Brilliant weather, mid-20s, and much to see locally - Hever Castle (Anne Boleyn, the Astors, jousting, unique water maze, beautiful grounds) - Hampton Court Garden Show (fascinated by a Porsche in a carport, that rose from its bunker and sank down to hide again) - Penshurst Place (a palace that's evolved from the 14th century, lovely gardens) - Chartwell (Winston Churchill's home, full of 'his story') - and Bodiam Castle (a well-kept ruin that reminded me of the usefulness of the Maginot Line).
-----Now I'm off to Bexhill-on-Sea, then on to Portsmouth and the Victory.
Then I'm looking forward to being back in Auckland's sunny clime. Yeah, right.

Cheers, Mike
