I wish I had known it beforehand and I would have put it in the book! I hope you enjoy reading it. You will no doubt relate to the little poem 'A Lay of the Blue Mauritius' on pp.134-35.

Last month I went to Mauritius and a group of my husband's family whose grandparents had 1 or 3 Post Office stamps (they don't know exactly how many) called me to talk because 25 years ago during a clean up before an auction I went through some documents and came across an envelope with the inscription 'POST OFFICE'. At that moment everyone was speechless as the envelope was empty, (as you said in your book "eaten by rat") I hope that one day we will find the 'rat'. Dear Helen,
