It's been a pretty quiet week for me but pretty busy for Greg and Penny. Penny has an exhibition this coming week at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham so she has been very busy preparing lots of Playchutes and accessories to show and hopefully to sell at the exhibition. So I don't have much news to tell you this week except to say that Peter next door came around yesterday with some photographs which he took at the rugby match I wrote about a few weeks ago. I have asked Greg to scan one so that I could send it to you. You can see that it is Greg along with me and two other guys (they sometimes call them "chaps" in this country!!) The younger man in the middle is named Tim and he is a very nice man who lives with Pete and Sally's daughter, Anya. (You will remember that Sally is Penny's business partner and Pete is her husband). The other chap on the right is Pete himself and then you can see me! This picture was taken in the bar just before the match and we are all drinking beer. I wasn't sure that I would be allowed to have a beer so I was quite happy to have a Coke or something but Greg said it would be all right provided no one could see that it was me drinking it (you have to be 18 in order to drink alcohol in Britain). So, Pete got the drinks and the others sort of stood around me so that no one could see. I tell you what - a pint of beer for me and the rest of the afternoon is a bit of a haze but I do remember meeting some very pretty young women and we all had a good laugh.

Greg says I can go on another trip next week so I am looking forward to that. He says it will be quite a long ways away so I will write about that next week.

Your pal,

Flat Stanley
