Of course the idiom goes: and you 'name' it! not 'mention' it, silly me. Sorry ’bout all the typos / errors.

Of course the idiom goes: and you ‘name’ it! not ‘mention’ it, silly me.

We did manage to fit in some cycling over the heather mountains and chat to the sheep on the slopes. Then be welcomed by another relative with tea and cakes and you mention it. My folk in Ireland still don't understand why people would go through this hardship - "we can drive you wherever you want to go" , was what we heard everyday. But oh the joy of cycling and travelling by bus (also unheard of by the natives!) and having those spontaneous conversations with 'other people' you just meet accidently. I love the sound if those Mark Fletcher cards, I have many of his books but the cards are new for me. I'll try to get order some very soon. Cheers, Joan Hi Anne,

Perfect tenses etc., etc. The essential grammar and vocabulary of English at Intermediate (First Certificate) level."
