Well, there'll be me and Slingers, obviously!

Was up there today unpacking all the goodies sent by Mapex and Roland. Those TD4 kits are really pretty good.

I'm absolutely gutted not to be going ... but I hope you all have a truly terrific time.

Say "Hi" to any regulars for me - hopefully next year will be a more lucrative one for me, ( ) and I'll be back in the thick of it with you all !
