I can hardly say "welcome back, Brian" since you have now left these [mostly] sun drenched shores; but you know what I mean.
And Ricky; security was stood down after the wavy plane arrival of Brian and his wife to this sun browned continent was explained to the terrorist alert authorities. As well, today I've just picked up two family members from Japan who are visiting us for Christmas. It took us just 5 hours to travel 350 clicks from the airport in Perth to our farm down south, with a 1/2 hour break on the way. How does that compare with the 'civilised' travel Brain had to endure going just down the road to East Anglia? Talk about snail mail !!
