I just want to say to those who follow – You may notice that I’m behind. I do have the goal of finishing June before I leave the UK October 3, and having sent all of my postcards so they arrive in the states before I do. But I am finding one of the benefits of writing in retrospect is that I can enjoy the remembering. So I look forward to remembering this time when I am back in the states. And the next entry is an example of one of the many days I am humbled to tears, (more or less depending on how inebriated I might be),remembering the generosity shown to me by strangers – like many of the days before.

I just noticed that my visitors may see ads. Its 99 pounds to upgrade to adless. Please let me know what ads you see. Especially if they are vodafone which is a thoroughly dispicable business to deal with. – I’m not even talking about how they take the UK money and put it off shore or screw up the health care 111 line, I’m just talking about how lousy and not user friendly the fone is.

And one other thing – So thinking about Marlene.
