Really pleased you remembered this MDWat.

Thanks for remembering Mum, MD :)
Mr Spades and I had a quiet day, doing lots of remembering of our own.

... and a very happy birthday to you for today, too!

I read posts on here such as "The amount of people who....." and think Spades would have corrected them with, "The number of people"

One of the few good posters.

Thought of Spades when we were in Cromer and saw the screen of the Peregrine cam in the Church tower back in May 🙂
