I got a lovely card from Sheena with a handmade picture of a happy looking hiker & the enclosed verse, as you can guess it is one of Sheena's own wee diddies.

JAN'S JOURNEY

Dear Jan,you've no more time to pack

So heave your ruckie on your back~~

Three pairs of trousers,T's & sox,

10 pairs of knickers~~ample stocks

Of squirt, repelling mossies/fleas

And herbal stuff for toes & knees,

A compass, clothes-line, bags galore,

A dish,some pots & pans,--& more--

A sleeping bag, some jim-jams too,

The sun-specs,boots,a map or two----

Oh Jan---one question knocks me flat----------

How one wee soul can HUMFF ALL THAT !!?

Hi Jan,

Thought that I would christen your message board. Not long to go now until you are off on your travels.

I'm sure that as you travel around the world you will amaze everyone with your handy gadgets!

Can't wait to hear all about it.

Love Av
