The 5000 less miles due to no visits after Sywell until New Years Eve. Sue now better so should start visits again soon.
NB. The North Wales sites are not far from you, we found them friendly. The first two letters of the sites as above begin with "Ll".

Thanks Bob.
Emlyn is a great bloke. He let us walk through the sheep in the field to get down to the aircraft. The only problem was making sure our grandson did not step in the loads of sheep sh**.
