Patrick, are you saying your Oz partner has taken UK citizenship?
******Oops yes well I think she has retained one foot in Oz land jewel
nationality!:-)we get Oz folk coming over to take refuge for a while patrick
I keep an eye out for Melb and Victn place names to put in my verse snaps

visit you for your sandwich if you are at an outside table. We let our

Did the giant eels eat your nephew? it could not have been good for them
