Thanks for the welcome Paul. I think that rally ends down the road from where I live, so you are all welcome to pop in for a mug of tea and some scoff.

Jane,
How are you and Keith doing? Hopefully i'll see you both on this trip.

Unfortunately Sandy won't be going on this trip, as it is I still haven't had any confirmation whether I have the leave yet.

Don't mention the car - we had to get the door and rear panel resprayed on the pt cruiser because someone where she works "keyed" it.

As to bonfires i'll make sure I wear something fire retardant! As it is before I go out now I do a few checks - wallet, keys, mobile phone, fire extinguisher!

Before the war on terror, if I saw an unattended package I used to think "I'll be having that!"
