Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.
Now that is good news to have you back, Burnie….I did send you a PM a few weeks ago but, it still sits in my unread box!
Glad your health issues aren’t too bad…..
Looking forward to having you back onboard!

Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.
Sounds like you had a very successful day, Clive!
