Beers on the patio. Just what's needed after three hours in the car driving back from the weekend with Linda and David. What a lovely time we had! It was a really strange experience to meet the real people I've only ever seen in 2D before. To met them and experience their personalities in 3D was a real treat and a honour. I thank you two for a wonderful weekend.

Not only Linda and David, there was Jo - "The Naked Housekeeper" well not so naked I have to dissapoint you... where does she get all that energy, let me know where you recharge your batteries Jo!

Ray was there too, what a gent and a total camera geek, how do you manage to keep talking about shutter speeds, apertures and pbase at three in the morning??

Then there was Gary, now there's a cool dude if there ever was one. We met at his house for a barbeque, a little late but never mind (most of the food had been eaten). That reminds me, I must get my hair cut! Not forgetting his delightful little Jack Russel dog Lucy that really shows her likes and dislikes in music by chasing and barking at the speakers, what a hoot.

Infact the whole weekend was indeed a hoot. Linda and David are wonderful hosts, very charming and down to earth with no "heirs and graces", very comfortable, I like that. Brillo home made pasta and Brillo guitar strumming...

Simply awesome you guys are!
