Thanks for the memories Ken - there are so many. You taught me how to shoot - the top out of Aunty Trixie's tree and more ducks than I can recall, and we won't mention the eels. Happy times over many decades. So glad I got to see you on my last trip. Judy and Scott, you are very much in my thoughts. I will be in touch xx
