Beginnings

Hi Ju,

It's Sunday morning and l'd rather be in bed, but l'm here and David is off to B&Q to buy some stuff to get on with the work. We've nearly finished the dish, see photos, more to follow. It's taken a lot of work, and l slept really well last night. Fame at last a photo of me in local press will send it when l get time to sort out how to use the scanner, page 12 not page 3.

Hope life is still keeping you afloat, when are you due home? I've sent copies to your home address too. Folks here at M.G. are chuffed to think that people in Finland are talking about the place. Here it is raining most of the time but we're warm and dry in the hut, and things are taking shape. Thinking of you.
