Me too. I was with Clunes, AndyB, Gregg/Aggy and the Checksfields most of the afternoon!!

Gaz do you drive a 4x4? Someone drove off in one, from under BTGV, as I was taking my photos.

Perhaps we should wear name tags or post our likenesses in our profiles. ;)

Not been much to report recently, what with the weather and my son being hospitalised (He's fine now though :) ). Back to it soon. Hopefully, by the middle of Feb. we'll be able to commit a bit more time
