I third it!  You did a great job of organising it, Barbara!  ;D ;D  It was a nice balance of activities - a getting to know you coffee, then a spell in the library during which I think I found one elusive ggrandfather (though his wife and children still seem to have swum to Australia!), then lunch and a nice little puzzle surrounding Barbara's spoon to test our brains, then another brief spell in the library before coming home!

A day very well spent!!  ;D ;D  Lovely to meet other SEQ Rootschatters!

A very contented
