Enjoyed your article about wave at Cross Fell…..You omitted to say what date it was I wonder why we weren’t there? I’m still digesting what you wrote, and will need to read it two or ten times more to see what can be gleaned, and then use it to make myself more of an ace than I already am! On the fa...

Spoke to Andrew about his flight last night, said it was fairly boring, it was only when he met Aly Wolf in the Welly and learnt so many new ideas about the home and garden, especially lawn care, its trials and tribulations....this for him made the whole day worthwhile!
