<br />
It was harder to climb this time compared to last time, but the last time was 10 years ago so I can accept that all things considered.<br />
<br />
The top was deep in mist and showed no sign of clearing, so after a while we decided to go back down and see what we could see at the bottom,<br />
<br />
One from the top to show we got there<br />

This helps to show what the path and the top was really like - note the edge is not protected in any way and its a drop from 2960 ft to 2000ft in a very steep almost vertical slope, not a good idea to get down fast that way !<br />

<br />
The way up and down - the main path is well worn and easy to follow, the route is interesting if there is no mist to cloud the view, in our case visibility up was about 40-50yds, on the way down it was far better<br />

This river flows along the base of the hill and has some interesting small falls<br />

By this time the weather had changed and the top was in sun with blue skies, not going to climb back up again though !<br />
<br />
Along the route home, the A470, the reservoirs are of note, but only lightly as the sides are very plain and populated with fishermen, this shot was at the top end of <span data-reactid=".ix.1:5.0.1:$comment1658799017692726_1658806821025279/=10.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1"><span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}" data-reactid=".ix.1:5.0.1:$comment1658799017692726_1658806821025279/=10.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1.$comment-body"><span class="UFICommentBody" data-reactid=".ix.1:5.0.1:$comment1658799017692726_1658806821025279/=10.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1.$comment-body.0"><span data-reactid=".ix.1:5.0.1:$comment1658799017692726_1658806821025279/=10.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1.$comment-body.0.$end/=1$text0/=010">Cantref reservoir looking towards Pen Y Fan along the Gwaun Nant-Ddu ridge - Pen y Fan etc out of sight behind the oak tree</span></span></span></span><br />

<br />
The last three shots were for me a new experinece, I merged multiple exposures together to get the fuller dynamic range of the exposure - so they may look a bit 'bright', from my memory the day did end up sunny and bright but there is always the risk that merging and creating a HDR image that looks over contrasty and bright, I hope that these are controlled enough to be acceptable to the eye.<br />

<![endif]-->Had a good walk with a couple of like-minded friends from
the photo club, 4 Waterfalls walk at Ystradfellte. All the usual suspects Dippers, Woodpeckers and assorted woodland birds. Getting to the falls I spotted a Kingfisher on the other side of the river, for once it landed on a branch in view, normally all I get is a flash of blue as it goes past at max miles an hr. So, it landed and was in view, my 70-300mm lens is in Cornwall, I am in Wales - enjoy the view and move on !<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The day proved interesting with a fair turn out of the
public and what seem to be a never ending stream of groups of river ‘nutters’
not exactly sure what it is called really but they find areas of the river with
waterfalls and then, best I can describe, drop dive the plunge pools from the
top of the fall. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They are led by what is obviously an experienced guide and
are fully kitted to do it, as safely as it can be, but, it plays merry heck
with trying to get photos! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
No sooner do you get Jo public out the frame and look to
take the shot than all these helmeted nutters turn up in the frame, its then a
case of waiting while they drop off the edge and haul out of the plunge pool.
It has to be said they all seemed to enjoy themselves and seemed to have lots
of fun. On a nice day why not !</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anyway, a few shots, not too many as when you have seen one
waterfall shot, well they can get a bit repetitive cant they. Truth to tell we saw the first couple of falls but decided to not bother with the last one, all the photos here are the White Meadows falls, you get two / three for the price of one there.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Starting at the top fall, moving down and then a 'riverlet 'waterfall.</div>

The top fall as you see it when you finally clamber to the top area, and it is a clamber !</div>

I won’t boor with lots of 'we went to' and 'we did' type of

Enough of that, here are a few of my images, I took quite a
few, as is my want, I processed some of them to show them here on my Blog, some

look at the locations and maybe if in the area pay them a visit</div>

Red Squirrel, at their largest they are only as big as the smallest grey squirrel, on Brownsea there is a population of around 200 reds in isolation and they are wild, but with patience you can get pretty close to get nice shots of them<br />

Hornets ! despite popular belief, Hornets are quite docile and less agressive than wasps - they are a wasp, the biggest we have here, this one landed on my daughters photo bag, I moved it onto my hand to take it off her as she is not comfortable with them, it was quite happy to wander around my hand and arm, this is as near as I get to a 'selfie' ! then I put it onto some heather - no problem, I did not feel concerned or threatend at any time by its behaviour.<br />

<br />
When its a Soldier fly - took this one last year down in Dorset - thought it was a hoverfly but its actually a Soldier fly, <span data-reactid=".2j5.1:5:1:$comment1013044272073732_1013153035396189:0.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1"><span data-ft="{"tn":"K"}" data-reactid=".2j5.1:5:1:$comment1013044272073732_1013153035396189:0.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1.$comment-body"><span class=" UFICommentBody" data-reactid=".2j5.1:5:1:$comment1013044272073732_1013153035396189:0.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1.$comment-body.0"><span data-reactid=".2j5.1:5:1:$comment1013044272073732_1013153035396189:0.0.$right.0.$left.0.0.1.$comment-body.0.$end:0:$text0:0">Oxycera rara</span></span></span></span> - nice though, and goes to prove the wasp mimic act does not always work !<br />

In this case - its no longer a hoverfly, its a wasps dinner! and 10 seconds later so was the other one !<br />

This one is a common Hover, Marmalade Hoverfly - Episyrphus balteatus, one of the few with a 'common' name<br />

One of my favourites Xanthogramma pedissequum, the range of Hoverflies is amazing, many are bee mimics and a lot are wasp mimics, the larval stage feed hevily on greenfly - whats not to like !<br />

Well clumsy carp here has had a bit of a disaster, I dropped my Speedlight
flashgun, only a foot or so and it was in its case but it appears the SB600 has
a nasty design flaw. Minor drops can crack a solder joint on one component on
the controller board and the blasted thing will not power up - ho hum will try
to solder it and see if that fixers it - failing that raids the piggy bank !<br />
<br />
A few days later .............<br />
<br />
Well that did not work so I am now the owner of a Yongnuo Speedlight, seems to work fine and was the same price new as the Nikon 2nd hand. Time will tell when I get chance to use it in the field<br />
<br />
But anyway prior to this a few plays with various locations - a few
Hoverflies, they are fascinating and very diverse, and for those that are not
sure - they are the 2nd most important pollinator after Bees ! - if you use the thrice cursed Farcebook, this site is interesting and useful to see the diversity of Hovers and get IDs from the people who wrote the book, the one I now have to aid my IDs, failing that I post them here - https://www.facebook.com/groups/609272232450940/<br />
<br />
Also a few flowers and other assorted bugs, just for the heck of it, I had a
day out at Lincoln Whisby Nature reserve a short time ago so some from there,
some from local Parc Slip Reserve and also a few from Llanelli WWT as well as some
from the back garden<br />
<br />
Not in any specific order, a few images, a few too many are 'bird on a stick' shots. By that I mean they are subject shots for ID purposes rather than aesthetically pleasing images. Working on it !<br />

Still playing with the flash set up and camera – not happy
with it yet, work in progress. I am getting some interesting results but having
to adapt and change things on the fly, I suspect I may well have to do that ongoing
for some time.</div>

There is so much variance in backgrounds and light between
shots given the subject matter, insects in foliage that it is not going to be a
simple task. The ttl flash/camera link should cope at some level but not across
the range I seem to be shooting while using ‘fixed’ manual settings for shutter
speed, ISO and f stop.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Some work to correct under or in some cases over exposure in
Elements with the RAW file but my preference is to get it as close as ‘right’
as I can in camera first so any adjustments are minor and more cosmetic than
technical.</div>

Okay hands up here a few Hoverlies, not go the names to hand but they are all latin - fascinating critters and a lot more 'types' than you would think ! I will simply show a few and leave it at that. While bees are our most important pollinators they are closely followed by Hoverflies so give them a thought - they are valuable to our ecosystem</div>

One in flight - they hover very close and then just as you get the camera onto them and focus they dart off to the side, the only way i have got this type of shot is watch them and pre focus - they tend to come back to the same place often so you can grab a shot then</div>

The tulips have gone over and the Roses are yet to fill the
gap fully, transition time is like edges, always interesting and always more challenging.
So much at the end and so much at the new beginning gives new angles and
thoughts to create images that hopefully please and maybe delight the eye.</div>

The weather seemed to go against the prediction as we drove
closer with clouds and greyness predominating the sky, but once at Cerney the
wind blew them away to our delight and the sun favoured the brave.</div>

A few images to show for the time but to be honest, the time
was enjoyed and will be remembered with these images serving simply as triggers
to bring back the smell, touch, sights and conversations.</div>

On the second day, well this is Tarka country on the Tarka
trail, so who am I not to take the opportunity to walk a stretch of the river
immortalised in the book, one I dearly loved as a young person. In fact the
very stretch of the river in the book where Tarka’s journey began and sadly ended at Torrington.</div>

The day started off overcast and quiet but soon warmed up
and out came the people with dogs, sadly no otters for me but there were
damsels, or in this case <span class="field-content">Demoiselles, both Banded
and Beautiful. In the main it was young males and only one or two mature ones and a lot of
females, telling the females apart was not so easy as the males! I walked
about 3 miles along the river then the same back to Rosemoor and then had a
couple of hrs at Rosemoor again in the afternoon sun</span> </div>

damp but improved as the day went on. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Given the garden is a RHS garden it does, as you would expect,
fill your senses in colour, form and scent. The Roses are yet to reach their
full glory but the Irises rose to the occasion and filled the borders with
elegant stands and stunning shows of blues and violets set off by intense
yellows and oranges going into browns and pale rose colours, one in particular
caught my eye, Deep Black. It was, in the flower world a lot of deep purple
flowers are deemed to be black, but this particular flower is truly black! Even
then in close detail that a macro lens allows you to see you can see the
underlying purples and blues that make it that black colour as seen by your
eye.</div>

I also had a play, one technique not used before by me, I am a macro shooter so 'sharp' is everything normally but this time I was looking for blur, deliberate blur.

Swallows, they 'hawk' along low level catching flies on the wing, they are doing about 25 miles an hr past you at 6 inches above the ground and turn on a sixpence ( old money) or a 5p piece, ( does not sound so flash ) I had my macro lens on and so was panning with a fixed focus 150mm lens - 99% of shots hit the bin, this one was the only survivor and its not good !</div>

A fine weekend for us both with quality time
doing things we love and spending time together away with a real feel of a relaxing
and stress free time to enjoy ourselves. Overall I walked most of the day every day either along
the river or around Rosemoor, a garden I now know very well and have a great
liking for. We will return as we both barely scraped the surface of this lovely place for plants to sketch and paint and for wildlife to photograph.</div>

Now this was a bit unusual for me - walking in the woods and got to a point where there was a break in the canopy, in the light area there was a number of insects swarming / circling quickly often breaking off and then more coming in, as they were above me and moving rapidly in all directions it was a point - manual focus and shoot to try and get anything, turns out they are craneflies, not seen this behaviour before so was interesting.<br />

<br />
Now this is a fly a Snipe Fly probably the common one Rhagio scolopacea there were quite a few about but again reluctant to land and stay put - managed to get a couple of frames and this is the best of the bunch.<br />

Finally a Spider, what captured my eye was not only the spider but the Fly - talk about taking a risk. The spider in question is a Hunting Spider - Pisaura mirabilis, they dont use a web but as the name suggestds they hunt their prey, at this time of the year I guess the 'hunt' for a mate was uppermost in its mind and the fly was lucky !<br />

In all a nice few hrs wandering looking for bugs, a few odd looks from people and a few snippets passed on to educate the passer by, one gent with his lady and children now knows that Damselflies fold their wings along their body and Dragonflies hold them out at 90 degrees to their body, something he did not know then and does now and can amaze his young children with to help them develop an interest in wildlife, very satisfactory to do that.tomcathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14355228168397002373noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5967858449075179436.post-63353988937126080612015-05-23T10:45:00.002+01:002015-05-23T11:24:53.192+01:00Helping out at SlimbridgeI had a day helping out at Slimbridge on Friday, the company I work for does volunteer days with various charities and this was a chance to have a day at Slimbridge Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust working on the environment. So, a day not at work, a day at Slimbridge and some work that adds value to the habitat and the WWT - whats not to like.<br />
<br />
The work was removing segdge from a duck drive and replanting it elswhere, the Water Vole studies have shown that where the vole survives winter best has river banks with sedge growing, the early growth and I suspect the shelter it gives overwinter to young shoots and early spring growth seems to be a deciding factor in voles ability to survive in that area.<br />
<br />
After the work - we had time for an hr or so to wander around, it was very quiet so a great opportunity to have a wander. A few pictures ftrom that time. None from the work.<br />

The cranes from the re-introduction scheme, I did see two fly over, adults from a previous years release that return to the area. Amazing sight given the size of the birds !<br />

Mother Moorhen picked a great spot to nest - there was no angle I could get that did not have a leaf in the way so I chose this angle as the best one to show the chicks and mum clearly keeping an eye on them and me<br />

I do like Jackdaws, this was clearly a pair and he was being very protective, some mutual preening was going on - I got fairly close but was under fierce scrutiny all the time<br />
<br />
In all a great day with lots of fun and some satisfying work that had real value.<br />

<br />
Ignoring all the last two months or so - this week I decided to give the Sigma macro lens a present - I got a 2nd hand Nikon D7100 for it to play with, set it up and took a few shots - this is a 50% of the full frame of the .jpg straight out of the camera, fairly please with it.<br />
<br />
A hoverfly in flight, they are about 10mm long - Platycheirus albimanus. No common name that I am aware of. <br />

Anyway, what have I been doing, well I finally got a beer on
– I was looking to make a mid range IPA with a single hop and a single malt, so
much for plans – dual hops and dual malt – came out at 7.5%abv. I decided to call it Hodge Podge IPA. It has not
cleared down as quickly as the others, but I suspect that is the Windsor yeast. I moved it into the bottle last week and it needs two weeks in the house to bottle condition then two weeks
in the garage to chill and finish the condition – then at that strength it will
need at least another month to start to mature to be a reasonable drink, I doubt it will last
that long, after all you have to sample it don’t you ?</div>

I have joined the local Camera Club, after 25 years or so thought I may as well. I used to be in the St Athan club when it was based on
the camp and have now joined the Vale photographic Club, http://www.vale-photographic-club.co.uk/about.html </div>

I was pleasantly
surprised to see Cled and Pam Lewis there – they were members of St Athan while I was there as
well so a nice link for me to my past photography and really nice to catch up with them</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
It does mean I have to consider prints and competitions on
themes, I am not sure how many I will enter but its good to look at my photography
from a formal club perspective and gain outside review critique.</div>

We decided as it was going to be a nice day we would have a
day out, just the two of us to WWT Slimbridge.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While sitting in the café having a coffee and a cake a stray
thought came to my mind, yes reader, a thought. It found its way around the
dusty chamber <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>of my skull and by total
chance hit a point that caused a spark and woke a slumbering, well, I wont say
giant, but you get the idea!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There have been many changes in our society that have
influenced people and made us not only more aware of our impact on our
environment but crucially has also made us more aware of our responsibility
and the need to act, if only by becoming a member of wildlife trusts, charities
etc. to support others that are willing to actually - Do something!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our impact is not only but here at home but on far flung
shores. The end result of our profligate expansion with a near suicidal rush to
ever grow as a species with little or no thought to the rest of the environment,
and the impact that this has on domestic as well as world populations of
creatures that we share the planet with, is clear to those willing to look. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One change has been the development of the digital
camera. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I recall shooting film, it was expensive and slow in the
sense that you had to take the picture, up to 36 frames per roll of film at a up
front price, then process the film and then print the pictures. You did not
know if you had taken a good picture until you saw the negative/slide/print. You
went to visit Slimbridge, you were inspired to take photographs of the
Flamingoes, you went home, you sent the film off, with money, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>you got the prints back and lo the bird had moved,
you focused wrong / exposed wrong/ etc. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>out
of those 36 expensive prints you had 1 that was ‘okay’.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Today, with the glory of digital technology you take the
photos of the Flamingo, check the image on your camera screen <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and take another till you get what you want, by
the time you go home you have all the great images you can take in a day on your
memory card and when you get home you can print them as and when you want.
Everyone is a wildlife photographer. Mind you not saying it makes you a good
photographer, the best camera in the world does not take the best picture, it’s
the photographer that does that.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So, this brings me back to my errant thought. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Given that I always want a ‘better’ picture <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>of xxxx or that the subjects change week on
week as more migrants come in or more chicks are hatched or the light is better
as it was overcast and next week its sunny or the……, you get the picture? (pun
intended). <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, I go back on regular
occasions and so we are trust members so as to feed my hunger for the shot and to be fair
to help assuage my ‘guilt’ for my <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>part in
the impact we as humans have on these creatures who have no say in it. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Just how much have charities like the WWT benefitted from
the technology advances of Digital cameras? You can’t turn around there for
people with DSLRs, Bridge cameras, Ipads, phone cameras all taking pictures. I
believe that they and other charities can offer thanks to this revolution of
photography as a serious boost to their income. And long may it go on.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Of course the up side of all this, apart from more support for
wildlife is the fact that I can put my hand on my heart and say "that new camera I
want is a bargain", after all see how cheap shots are compared to film so it
pays for itself really – honest.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Any way here are a few I took, not good enough so I will
have to go back again, just to get that ‘killer’ shot I thought I had got this
time, but now on the computer screen I see it is good but not good enought …….</div>

Had a trip to St Donats for the Christmas Craft Fair, Yoke and Eleanor were underwhelmed
by it, not a lot of craft but a fair amount of mass produced tat by all accounts
– I wandered of with my camera, thin pickings really but got this fungi shot<br />

I have been working out of London a couple of days a week recently, finally
took the camera in and took a couple of shots from Vauxhall Bridge, the first,
looking left from Vauxhall side<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>is
Battersea Power Station – defunct and being turned into an apartment block –
they are keeping the chimneys but taking down the brick and concrete ones and
replacing them with steel frame and clad ones that will look exactly the same –
the 2<sup>nd</sup> looking right is the London Eye<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />

We went down to Cornwall to pick up Verity for Christmas and to deliver her
birthday present, finally. We decided to call into RHS Rosemoor on the way

Alice in Wonderland.<br />

It was Verity’s 21st Birthday last week. Happy Birthday.<br />
<br />
I have been struggling since early September to get her a specific present,
for whatever reason the lens I wanted to get her was not available anywhere in
a Nikon fit - I could get the lens to fit a Canon or a Sony or any other camera
but not a Nikon, how frustrating that was.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I even looked at off shore imports from Hong Kong, I placed an order and
two days later they mailed me to cancel it as they did not know when they would
get stock.<br />
<br />
This Friday I noted the firm I normally buy the photography gear from now
says they have the lens - one short phone call later and it is on its way -
late but at least what we wanted.<br />
<br />
Anyway, we went to Cornwall for the weekend for her birthday and had fun.
Eden was on the list for a day as was Tehidy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There follows the usual photographs, a few fungi, and a few other bits
and bobs. Oh, and it was my 57th birthday as well that weekend so a double celebration.<br />
<br />
First - Eden <br />

This weekend has been a bit strange for reasons I wont go into at the moment
but today, Sunday, we had an afternoon out to get some fresh air - off to the
Allotment to do some digging then off to Tondu for any photos we fancied or
could take in the low light so long as the drizzle held off .<br />
<br />
This image was spotted as we drove there on the approach road - a side gate
into the fields. I had to double back and capture it - makes you want to know
the story - or maybe not!<br />

<br />
I have not been successful in identifying them all but clearly the Fly Agaric, <i>Amanita muscaris</i> is an easy one, these were taken where a tre had been taken out to make a clearing hence the damage to soem around them. This fungi is used as a hallucinogenic by some people, dangerous game, as it is poisonous. It gets its name from medieval times where the cap was broken into pieces in milk to stupify flies and get rid of them.<br />

<br />
Then there is another amanita, there are 24 of them known in the UK, this one is The Blusher, <i>Amanita rubescens</i>. You can eat it - if cooked, but poisonous if raw, oh and after you cook it, throw the water away - its not going to make you feel good !<br />

Had a day out today, we went to Hereford. It was Eleanors
birthday last week and this was one of her presents, an afternoon of Lampwork
tuition with Laney, <a href="http://laney-izzybeads.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://laney-izzybeads.blogspot.com/</a></div>

The day started with Yoke going to work to do the Flu Clinic
then we collected her and drove to Hereford getting there around midday. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A very warm welcome later and after introductions to Ben,
Iz, Defi and Gordy, and it has to be said, a great mug of tea, thanks Ben, Yoke
and I departed leaving Eleanor in the safe hands of Laney. Not sure if Laney
was quite prepared for the experience, we are a strange bunch so it was very
brave of her to agree to this invasion.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
After last months visit to the Malvern Show and picking up a
leaflet for the Hop Pocket shopping centre, we decided as we were that close we
would spend a bit of time there, well okay, the café was nice with good food,
locally resourced. The Glass Design studio was nice, very engaging and happy to
chat, serious kilns, as he does door panels, cooker splash back type of things,
wall hangings light fittings etc.. Ah to have the bank balanced to allow our
taste in craft ware. I could have easily spent a fortune if I had it, his work
was good. The farm shop was good, just munched on some really nice sourdough
bread we bought and had for dinner, most enjoyable. But, otherwise nothing that stood out really, nice for a
short visit if you are in the area but that was it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I did spot a ‘shepherds hut’ out the back that begged to be
photographed, clearly it had been used as a hen house but personally I think Granny Aching would have been well at home in it ( Terry Pratchett - The Wee Free Men ) so, off I went with camera while Yoke took a look around the garden centre
etc. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
As you can see I took a few, will take me a while to decide which I like
the best. The light kept changing and the colour of the wood varied depending on the light and the angle, at one time there had been a blue 'paint' applied and flat on with shaded light it showed up, once the sun came out fully it was pretty much invisible and had clearly worn / weathered away across most of the hut</div>

a bit different from my normal photographic subjects, always worth taking a

As it was a sunny day for the most of it, the views around
the area were really nice, a few times while driving I wanted to stop and get the camera out
but at the areas I could stop it was ‘that’s really nice, but .... as soon as I
hear myself say the ‘but’ I know it is not worth getting the camera out. I know
I would not be happy with it and will be frustrated and simply delete any I took
so I saved some time and simply did not take them!</div>

Back to Laneys and another tea and fun chat later we made our
farewells and headed home. In all a really nice day, lovely to meet Laney at
last and Eleanor really enjoyed her play on a big girls torch. </div>

Thank you Laney,
something we will have to repeat in the future. You have our address so any time
you are down this way feel free to pop in, you will be most welcome.</div>
