Gail and Brian - Many thanks for some early pictures of a great day.  I was so preoccupied with labels, results, show report and later children (and cake ) that I did not take any pictures  But I knew there were folk doing a better job than I would have!
Absolutely shattered now after returning the kitchen to normal after the collapse of a cupboard earlier this week.  (But I did get my bike back tonight, repaired after a 'blow-out'  yesterday which led to an unscheduled 4 mile walk )
