Posted on May 30, 2013 by Gary

Posted on May 29, 2013 by Gary

What could possibly go wrong with a toasted ham and cheese sandwich? Plenty, it would seem, when a printer is involved. This morning we went down to breakfast then went for another wander down to Echo Point. And, as the … Continue reading →

We’ll discuss that later

Posted on May 24, 2013 by Gary

Bang the Gong

Posted on May 23, 2013 by Gary

Glimpses into the past

Posted on May 22, 2013 by Gary
