[Geoff Winnington-Ball (RIP)]

Sorry you lot, but I'm over at John & Fiona's, and the pics are still in the digital camera at Max's. I'll get Em to download them tomorrow morning. It WAS a long nasty bastard of a snake. We were lucky.

Sleeping here tonight, back to Max's in the morning as Fiona goes off to work, then me to Tony in the afternoon.

BTW, John Hedges is STILL at work out in the fields; Fiona and I took him out his supper and tea, but he's not back yet. She's long retired, but he's still out there, somewhere. What did I tell you about these people?

I discussed this with Fiona tonight... to quote Joe Galloway in the movie WE WERE SOLDIERS, "I just don't know how to tell this story". And I don't. This has been one of the most remarkable experiences of my life, and for once, I am tongue-tied. I suppose I'll figure it out, but right now, I cannot emote satisfactorily the effect all of this - and these people - has had upon me. And it ain't quite over yet.... sheesh....
