Peter
Sorry to hear about your loss, I lost my mate of 42 years a little over a month ago so I know what you are going through.

The Legion here has helped me in more ways than you know as I have a place to go and talk to get my mind off things.

What Rick said, it will help, and if I was there I would buy the first shout in memory of your wife.

Not this year but no one knows what the future holds

Besides, with 2 GDY, you Aussie's wouldn't know how to act, with all that couth we would be bringing.

Wayne is right. Being in the company of the two of us at the same time, shy and innocent as we are, might be too much of a shock for all of you.
