Dear Pam, I just enjoyed viewing your Honister pictures once more If I get all the jobs done today thats the next lot of piccies I'm going to get online Better late than never eh! LOL Thanks for stopping by my latest albums thought you would like the Wasdale and Ratty album. As for the butterflies they have certainly kept me busy chasing them during the last few months. Take care now. Love, Jill

Hi Pam. It was good to meet you and Mike again during the Honister weekend, though I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to have a good chat ... maybe next time! Really enjoyed reliving the weekend through your lovely photos. Jo

Dear Pam, It was really great to meet with you and Mike over the weekend and hope you had a good time for the rest of the week I would have loved to have got together again but it was hard to get in contact with you. Loved the piccies of the weekend I've started sorting through mine but as you can imagine I've a few more from other days too. Take care now. Love, Jill
