lol Val meluvver. Terry is there, we are not. Sadly true, but it's how it works. I don't begrudge him his "15 minutes" to misquote Andy Warhol. I have had four weeks this year of seeing it all for real. But boy am I missing my regular look at the cam!
The technology we rely on for our lives these days is awe inspiring, but we take it for granted. The webcam service has been amazingly good, but depends on so many things. We are so lucky to have anything at all like this. Like you, I find life "austere" without a real look at my fav place on earth every day. But like in the War, I suffer it dilligently.
Dimitri my dear friend, please "get your finger out....."

(I will explain what that means in April if it sounds wrong Dimitri)
Best wishes to Terry, Helen and family
