Happy Christmas from me to you all! And may water not find it's way into your dizzy cap as it did mine earlier today! It's wet in Fife at the moment.

Stay out of the puddles! :hopping:

And by a similar token...

Merry Christmas one and all, may water not find it's way into your boot, as it has in mine over the last couple of weeks in tsunami like quantities!!
