Mother and daughter doing well - The new addition 'Spider' is very well indeed. You can see why she has been nick-named Spider as she is all legs (and ears) . She is a real character and worries her mother greatly as she spends a lot of time galloping around the field at top speed on her own.

My visa for India came through this morning so I am about to set off to the Andaman Islands. Jay e-mailed me this morning to say that she had survived the 5 day boat trip to the islands but it was somewhat rough and having arrived it would appear that as it is the monsoon season there are no other tourists so we will have the island to ourselves - great fun!
