So far from home

Well just got back from a night out with Nick drinking Bulgarias finest red wine (legend has it that it is hang over free-will let you know tomorrow) and thought I would write a quick post because Im too drunk to go to bed. It was not until I logged in to my emails that I found out that my Uncle Tom has passed after a short battle with prostrate cancer. I'm quite sad. The funeral today. I want all the Groats to know that I am thinking of them. Please give my love to Auntie Joyce and Grandma. Uncle Tom was a man who did alot for others. I can not think of a Groat event like the annual picnic where he and Auntie Joyce were not present. He will be sadly missed.

I had planned on relaying the latest from my travels, namely being pickpocketed today and our battle with the tram guards. Nick has already written a post. I will dircet any who are intertested there... www.hoist-the-spinnaker.blogspot.com

I am now in mourning and need to go to bed.

All my love xx xx xx
