Cousin Forrester,

I'm a little concerned that you didn't take that comment in the spirit in which it was offered, so just in case let me assure you it was a joke of deepest satire. Good Python quote though.

Cousin Canuck

All taken in jest as intended. Merely a convenient time to extend it with the french Python quote. We are on the same wavelength.

There is a single bottle of Morin VSOP in the spirits cupboard, Robert, but it's not open and I think I will leave it that way until my return in the Fall. In your honour, instead, I have a large splash of Wave in the crystal this evening.

I raise it to your belligerant ancestors, my alpine friend, of both persuations (although I do think you might show just a little embarassment about the Flemish lot)

Merci Rex, I feel better already.

If ever your feet brings you to Normandy, please tell me so I can arrange something with Rollo (Andrew Philip) at his manor.

Lady Chrystel would be happy to meet you as well.

Best,

Robert
