I apologies for coming in late, but I have beenout of town for two weeks.

This is a lovley idea that I wish more folk would do.  I am very
uncomfortable with new senarios and my husband is classicaly shy.  It
would be nice to be included in someone's household at feast when we are
traveling (I wouldn't dare ask someone I just met, Richard wouldn't ask at
all) instead of quietly admiring everyone else's stuff, plotting what I
want to find for us, and wishing we were brave enough to join in.

Getting braver as time goes by,
