I remember reading your review a few months back. I hope that I had the courtesy to make a good comment! If not, I think it's excellent.
Cheers,
Carl

I'd give my left ear lobe to take pictures as well as you and Kyle do. It is an absolutely splendid experience to come here and see something that has given me so much enjoyment rendered with such magnificence.

Thank you both.
