Hi Everyone, I went off line just before Xmas and have only just returned. As you all know Rod and I where going on our first Holiday in 30 years at Xmas. But the first day we where in Newcastle Rod had a mild stroke, therefore we had to cut short our holiday and didn't even get to Brisbane, unfortunately. Rod is ok, and now that he is on med. for his blood pressure and cholesterol, he is back to his old self again. I hope you all had a wonderful Xmas, and want to wish you all a very Happy New Year, may we all find lots of new ancestors in 2005 especially of the Barraclough lkind. Linda, we drove thru Bairnsdale but as it was 4am, I didn't think you would appreciate me knocking at your door at that time of the morning :-))))))))))))) Cheers Kim
