Hi all, AP and I are back from sunny Wales (said without a touch of sarcasm for once - the weather's been fantastic

). Have we missed much? Perhaps the hilight of our holiday was a little kitten, which mustn't have been more than a few weeks old. It was a little bigger than my hand from head to bottom; I'll get a picture up if anyone wants to see. We would have taken it home but our tenancy agreement is strictly anti-pet
I can now play just about one lute piece (on my retuned guitar), it's been good fun learning a new instrument; unfortunately, I would have to choose one which is notoriously expensive

Near Porthmadog. The weather was hot and sunny every day we were there, which makes quite a change from the usual weather we get when we're there

I've set my profile photo to the aforementioned kitty. Thanks to everyone for your salutations

Wobby - musician sounds good, thanks.
Car Expert - yes, that sounds like a good idea, where's the poll?
