HELLO AGAIN.

Sorry for the long absence.  We haven't been anywhere trammy for months, the last holiday was in Malta. It was in December and a very pleasant break, but only a couple of the old buses running a service to Rabat. Otherwise, the excuse is that life gets in the way. Next holiday is Lisbon and Porto for the parade, so will try harder.
