I was wondering as to what time were you going to send me the DVD you talked about. Also, Is it possible for you to do a fundraiser for CWI any time this year in your area?
Peace and love , Laura.

Christine Crowstaff said… - So glad you had an enjoyable and very worthwhile trip.
I just visited the Middle East - Israel, the West Bank & Jordan. And I also enjoyed seeing as much variety as I could and meeting so many diverse people. It's so different to actually see things for yourself, and talking to people, instead of relying on what we get from the media - which is an entirely different matter of course :) Actually it was my honeymoon, as I just got married.

- Yes, I noticed from your profile that you've travelled around the UK a fair bit!
I'm in North Dorset, in the South West, not so very far from Bath really. Actually, fairly close to Glastonbury.

- Yes, certainly. And it all helps, for sure.
