Dear Rudds

Finally phoned your office to get the website address and there are some great pictures and good stories – you're obviously having fun and lots of adventures.

Where are you just now? I'd love to come and see you at some point, but not this year. I have brother Patrick's stag sailing three days round mull, then my own sailing trip in the middle of June and finally the original crew from 1988 are having a week's reunion sailing in september.

Had lunch with Stuart Davidson the other week, which was nice, to celebrate Scott Lee's birthday.

Not much news. Carolyn is enjoying her second year working in Glasgow as Deputy Head of Craigholme; Stephen has just finished a publishing course at Oxford; Becca has just finished an exchange year to Canada (she's doing history of art at Edinburgh); Charlotte is having a year out and is just about to return from 4 months in Malawi. So big celebration this weekend as they will all be returning on Friday for a bit.

I'll keep reading your website – it must beat working

love

Richard
