You'll enjoy it Phyl. what they have done with the images is brilliant, they've sort off animated them.
I'm not at home at the moment, we are at center parc's visiting the aqua sauna and we'll be here for the next 4days but I have my little notepad/ laptop with me and Im connecting using my mobile phone.

Hi Phyl

Sounds like they were out of stock? Anyway hopefully something a bit extra for the Christmas stocking.

All the best
Chris

My family came over on the Strathaird for ten pounds in 1957. We all stayed in Australia however most of my parents friends went back to England. I will be going to purchase my copy of the DVD, thanks.
