"You're not my surreal Dad!"

Kind of Blue 2 is finally on the way lads.

A postscript with a postcard: Paul found time to make it to the mailbox, sending this to Ringo, with a Jan 31 postmark. With the postal strike going on (see the front pages), who knows how long it took to reach its destination. But it's the thought that counted📬

Now the English call it Torpenhow Hill (Hill Hill Hill Hill)
