I have ordered the book. The company said it was not possible for me to buy it because of BREXIT.

I explained that there is no problem.

They send the book, which is a gift, to my sister's house in Denmead, Hampshire. I send them £16.00 from my £ Sterling account, et voila! It's done. No customs issues nothing. It's not hard....
Let's see if they do it.

Julia was the daughter of Robert Allan and Agnes Meldrum. I am related to those St. Monans Meldrums. One of my great-grandmothers, Annie Meldrum, had a brother called Robert Allan Meldrum, skipper of the Cellardyke sailing Fifie "Onyx".
