And so we come full circle . As King John (aka Rockfordill) I now find myself retired in a small cottage in a quintessentially English village near Dorking high up on the Greensand ridge that runs across Mid-Surrey and is designated as an AONB. We have avbailable many local distractions - such as the second highest cricket ground in Surrey, an annual flower show and fete, as well as lecture groups, bridge groups, music groups and any other group you care to think of!
The children are all long flown the nest and scattered far and wide . One is married and living in the USA, another one mattied and in Australia , a third married and living in Greece and just one left in the UK. I cannot criticise their various exoduses overseas, I did exactly the same thing myself when I was a callow youth of twenty and satyed away for 25 years! The grass always seems greener elsewhere - especially when one is young! The analogy however is a poor one when comparing Surrey with some semi-arid regions abroad. Anyway, our combined families have produced five grandchildren so far, but it costs an arm and a leg to visit them!

congrats on the wins. This month has been an interesting challenge with MM and have learned a lot! Must apologise to everyone today however - due to some computer glitch my
cut a paste function failed to work so had to transcribe everything "long hand" as it were. Please forgive all the spelling and typo errors - entirely my fault and nothing at all to do with
crofter. Hope you all got the gist of everything ok and that the game still works.
