Well, where shall I start? the chance ,this past year, to visit and spend time with some of the warmest, nicest, friendliest people in the Univers, both here in the USA and visitors to the UK, many of them Mudcatters, and family also are much appreciated, I think anything else pales into insignificance by comparison.

"But now a great thing in the street
Seems any human nod,
Where shift in strange democracy
The million masks of God.

In youth I sought the golden flower
Hidden in wood or wold,
But I am come to autumn,
When all the leaves are gold.
G.K. Chesterton
