Sorry Grandad you've had trouble with the yahoo address. I've set up a mail redivert so all emails now go my orange email account so in theory I can accesss all emails from my mobile. So I'm now using gemmamerrowsmith@orange.net. Maybe give that a go! Just seen the Queen on the local news visiting Osborne Hse and the gardens look wonderful. I believe they are celebrating 100 years of public access to the house. Last night I went with Mandy (Barbaras sister) to see a fantastic Irish comedian called Dylan Moran.He has a show on Channel 4 called 'Black Books'. Its very funny and in a similar vein to Father Ted. It was at the gorgeous Palace Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue. Anyone been there before? Les Miserables was staged there for years and is now in its 19th year! They are planning to stage The Woman in White' there soon. We did lots of celebrity spotting including many of today top comedy people like David Walliams from 'Little Britain', Reece Sheersmith from the 'League of Gentleman' and Simon Pegg from 'Spaced'. For you guys outside of the UK these names won't mean anything but these guys are the equivalent of the Monty Python or the Cambridge footlights lot of the 80s. And there was a bit of a queue waiting for the autographs. I acted cool and ignored them...! Great to hear from you Jessica and that camping sounds great fun. We went camping last August in Herefordshire near the Malvern Hils. We camped in the grounds of Eastnor Castle which is actually a deer park. The weather was so hot and we ate so well cooking off the calor gas that when we returned friends thought we had changed our minds and bought an air ticket to southern climes instead.
