waterboatman - I think you've gone.. but i'll explain anyhoo... the out-laws live in Majorca and stay here when they come to England as I have the room and they get to see their grandchildren (who live with me).. we get on so it makes sense (in a weird way...) I suppose others might find it odd... but hayhoo...
that explains it all very well hippyhoppy. Sorry tp be so nosy but I was intrigued.
sounds likev a sensible plan to me actually.
good luck.
(Just back for a minute or two!)
