Down having retired is sad backwards DAS and I get in

Hello  shaneystar.  Just wanted to say thanks for reply on food and drink, and to take some puzzles what a good idea for the journeys, think I'll keep some Sudoku from papers yet to try that but seems popular I gather by a lot of people am travelling with bishop and his family so never know they may be into them. I will say a little prayer for all AB crossworders at Bethlehem after all my b'day is christmas day !  good luck.
