Hi Folks,
Many thanks for the kind/unkind comments. lol Glad to report that thanks to the good old NHS the old codger is still alive and kicking at 76 after major surgery to sort my innards out which was quickly followed by yet another heart attack and other nasty things.
Yes Tinx, still living on Portland although my overseas traveling days are now somewhat restricted since no one seems to want to insure me any more except for a horrendous premium.
I still read up on the forum from time to time seething with envy at all you folks out there in the sun, but I had my share and still have loads of nice pics and even nicer memories.
Best wishes to all who might remember me
Roy
