He's just over 60 miles away, wonder if he will attend? Would be good to get some video coverage on here!

With a bit of luck Chris (the builder) will get his prospective son-in-law to video it anyway - so I'll try to get that on here when it happens. Chris is about to retire from teaching next month so he'll have a bit (a lot!) more time soon... so it shouldn't be long :D

I've got used to it now ... after 40 years friendship :p

I have also been the beneficiary of some of his skills having had unique 'kits' made for me - so I can't grumble.

And as he's getting older some fallibility is creeping in - I think he must be human underneath :p
