Tig, I was just thinking this morning about your lovely, well-chosen pressies and how negligent I've been in not thanking you properly for them. Something of a pattern with me I fear. Thank you for the good wishes. Someday I how to scrape together the wherewithal to come to Whitby.

And to Janie and OldDude, Beer and Tinker, and everyone on this thread: you've touched me deeply. Many thanks. I have a lot to live up to now!
