Have posted elsewhere, but I have to mention our Sandy and her lovely dolls' house "kouklospito." We were priveleged enough to be invited there, and can tell you how beautiful it is, and it's setting. You can see that from the picture here. I tried to capture it but I am not Marika. My best was posted in last year's holiday report.
I wasn't surprised to see kevin.g, riggers, justlynn and ColinD there. And kev's family.
As the forum can tell, we are all real friends now. We have met and enjoyed sharing our Arillas experience. Sandy has taken us all to heart - she even looks after the smoking addicts - a huge leap there. Kev has helped me pull off a virtual presence (for which he will be suitably rewarded...) riggers has got me more pissed than I've ever been. Lynn and Colin have entertained us for 2 years, and it is inevitable we will meet them one day soon.
But my key point is thanks to Sandy. She once called me a kindred spirit, and that is the truth. We are both certain that Arillas is where we belong. And justjen does too.
