A friend of ours has a house in Cabo Rio, near Torrevieja. We should get some sun at last, but the forecast is for summer to finally start here in England, probably lasting until the day we get back.

Have a great trip Adrian.

Lucky you are not going near any of the RAAF burials in Spain or I might have been sending an email.

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)
