Just to update you on some of the Gem activities.

First of all a big Thank You to Pete (Nazlee's husband) who took us and collected us from Birmingham Airport recently.

It is so nice to know that your holiday is going to start with an easy ride and then end with a friendly face to greet you!

Then another big thank you to John (the Butler) Buttfield whose skill at turning a car back into an object of delight through his skill and elbow grease worked wonders on our car. I can now hold my head up high once again and not opt to park waaay over there in the corner now that it gleams again!

And finally another big thanks to Sally, not only for making some splendid mini pizzas a few weeks ago but also those delicious truffles that really do make the most delightful of gifts. Even better she gave one of her friends a gem for a back massage.

Finally a quick Hi and Bye to the two delightful Swiss guests who also came and seemed to enjoy their hot stone massages. I am now rebuilding my stock of Gems so that I can spend yet again shortly.

Regards

Mike
