Further to my post #36 above...
We have just this morning received advice about the possibility of disruption to Mail and Parcels post 'an Event at the end of October', we therefore feel that it would be in Zed's best interest to postpone a visit to this warm and pleasant land, at least until we all know 'how the land lies' as it were.
We hope that he will not be upset with this potential change of plan but nothing would be worse than to find himself being lost in Portuguese Customs for several weeks or more.
We know that he will enjoy continuing with his current hosts, through to the end of the year...
Kind Regards him and to all in the Club.
