An excellent image. It cannot be faulted but doesn't have the same visual impact as your fantastic Heart and Soul.

Well done - that was an excellent night's imaging.

Fay hopefully soon. There are only 3 people in the chain, and we are all eager, and ready to move, but the bloody solicitors keep finding a question to ask 1 of us, which seems to hold up everything for 2 - 3 days. You would have thought they would just either phone or email, but everything seems to be by mail. :!

But we have been told it will be this side of Christmas though!
