Thanks for your kind comments, Chris. It was my pleasure too.
Here are some of my London shots, the first by you.
Never before in my life have I visited so many cycle shops in a day.

And a special from Yorkshire for Bob & Chris.

Superb group shot and good to see Alan, Mrs Alan and the Wilson's. Oh, and
Fountains Abbey is a lovely place too.
As Bob said, it was a pleasure to spend a day with Alan in London.

On 17th Sept. Ann & I travelled to Fountains Abbey with our hosts, Keith &
Mo Marshall (former residents of Phalaborwa) to meet Mike Wilson, wife
Kath
& daughter Katie. It was a memorable day with very changeable weather.
Mike
was very confident of the Pentax WR capabilities but I was no so sure yet.
I was trying out my newly acquired K5 (ex Mark Cassino). The group shot
shows Ann, me, Mike, Kath & Katie. As you can see, Mike is a large
customer
who could easily have been a famous front row forward. The river Skell
flows right under the Abbey & would have been far better than a well as a
water source. Building of the Abbey began in the 11th century & was
ultimately sacked by Henry VIII's thugs in the 16th century. It was
obviously very well built, the walls still being in excellent condition
but
stripped of anything of value. At it's peak, close to 1000 monks were in
residence making a good living out of agricultural activities. Today the
grounds are a huge estate managed by the National Trust, very popular with
recreational visitors & home to herds of deer. Beautiful gardens and water
features too.

We then travelled to the Marshall's home in Healy for tea before the
Wilsons drove home to Washington
