Glad you like our little island too!
Surviving the M25 is the real challenge.
That's exciting about your being on AR as a volunteer. I knew you were quite knowlegable on antiques, form our chats at TFF. I need to remember to keep you in mind if I come across anything interesting in your area of expertise.
