Hi all yes it really is a small world, I must say Jenny I envy you off on a years trial, good luck!. Yes SteveJ I know Gatcombe House, I have an aunt living just off the Copnor Road. I think it is a listed building, certainly a lot of history attached to it. My friend lives in one of the 70's building's built in Gatcombe Park. Hopefully we will meet up with a few of you in Blighty or the Fethiye area.
