Thanks again to everyone, certainly including Richard Bridge - scholar and gentleman - for putting up the unkempt Bums overnight. Growler - the curry was great, and most welcome! We did scandalously overlook to present Richard with a songbook and CD between our varying departures, but they are awaiting him at the Good Intent with our apologies.

Melodeonboy, we ain't seen or heard nothing like you either! Attempts by the Bums to describe your person and performance to others are foundering on the rocks. I think I referred to your voice as being pitched in the key of minus 20 degrees Centigrade, or was that Growler? My last dying word will probably be 'Torremolinos'.

I will reconnect if I can before departure.

Cheers,
Chris
