Love the piss hole in the snow!!! You are a class act Lee Jones. It was great to chat to you the other day. I hope that treading trodden trails is working out for you. We got your Paris postcard last week. It's on the cork board of honour. I have booked in Scarlett's 1st birthday for the 31st of August at Carisbrooke reserve. Lock it in! Well my eyes are like the proverbials so I am going to say au revoir and go to bed...yes at 7.42pm on a Friday night - times they are well and truly a changing! Stay safe guys. Mwah!!!
