Makes me realize (again) places I miss as I go along. Talk about away from the rat race! So free and easy, pleasantly warm, and peaceful. A totally differ...

Granny's idea of letting everyone know the answers to the above questions I reckon is a ripper. So lets put the ideas down here, let this run for a month or so then we can colate it, edit it, correct it, into a dot point format and I'll endeavour (hopefully with some help from your fellow GN'S) to find emai...

May I suggest we stick to the topic of each forum subject. I've noticed the subject gets diverted to something totally irrelevant, and is neither help nor entertainment. Keep the banter coming, but keep it relevant. If one topic leads to another topic, start a new Subject. But keep the banter and hum...
