I shall remain forever grateful to Bill for opening his home to us during our stay in the uk. I particularly enjoyed our morning banter in the sun room, before the girls woke. I found his humour surrounding a reference to my home country and me being "a convict" entertaining. RIP old fella. Kelvin .
