Dear Muff and Fredders:

Send more Christian's No.1 as I've snorted most of mine trying to rid my nostrils of the nasty odor of the locals. Tell Francesca she would be positively aghast at them, but what an inspiration for her peasants series (even if they are Americans)! If she wants to jet over, tell her to make sure she packs plenty Valium - there's nothing to do here but sleep.

Our new curse: "Having a wonderful time - wish you were here."

As ever,
Camilla
