That is a great story. It reminds me of the lessons I have learned from my wife. She is from Venezuela. The people in South America are very family oriented.

They take great care to treat their elderly with respect and do every thing possible to make their last days on earth enjoyable. You won't find them stuck in an «old folks» home down there unless they require constant medical attention.

I've added you to my blog roll. After the brain storming session with Alex, I decided to take suggestions for tutorial videos. I am going to hold a Camtasia marathon this weekend, so stop by and place your vote.

Our conversations covered many topics and she was in her working life a World Health Organisation employee. she had worked in many hot spots around the globe including being in the Congo during the troubles in the 1960's, not a nice place to be.

She discovered I was a Radio amateur and then opened up to tell me another chapter of her life. during the Second Worlds War she was an army communications officer and worked in the same bunker as Winston Churchill. she told me that shewas a pretty poor morse code operator and missed lots on receive. On one occasion there was a Royal visit to the bunker and she was being observed by obe of them. At one juncture the Princess pointed out that she had taken down the message incorrectly and handed a perfectly written version she had been taking in the background. Admitting she was not too hot on receive the Princess said 'its our secret' and said her farewell winking as she left.

Basically she was very lonely and my business visits were a highlight in her social calendar. We became quite close friends really and when she moved away to the home counties to be near family just before Xmas 2006 she sent a card from her new home that arrived after the New Year break. A couple of days later I took a call from her nephew who called to tell me of her death. I was very saddened to lose a friend with such an interesting life story to recount.

Sitting here with laptop on my knees listening to the rain lashing
against the window and the near gale force wind.

horizon. listening to nit I for one wouild not want to be on any yacht tomorrow, best of luck Alex Jeffreys hope you have a supply of paper bags!

I have just changed my blog theme for a three column one with widgets and have been working at editing and fine tuning. At last after 4 days
analytics has started to work so I had done it ok it just took that long to kick in. Learning all the time.

Anyway, nice to touch base with another friend I have yet to meet.
