Prologue: Sonia and I met in a Hotel in Bridgetown, Barbados the morning we were heading to the GRAND Princess without the normal silence of… “Is that or is that not another act?” from a few feet away because as Sonia puts it –
“you had a blummin big sign all over your luggage saying “Hey I’m The Checkerboard Guy!”…..Bless ya, what made it even better was that you were half as mad and jolly as I!”
Ms. Selbie is quite simply stated, a hoot! So glad to have met her and gotten to know here a few weeks back!!
