br2975 Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 Thank you Tony. . Tonight I will mostly be quaffing some vino tinto, listening to the football (on the wireless !), reading my own publicity and contemplating 'Son of Rosamund Street' . The idea behind the next project may be apparent in the photo. . Regards Brian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
