    Glad the beans were a success Alf & FF!

    Doesn't sound like you have had a very good day ILC. Hopefully the rest of the week will get better for you.

    Have posted a few pics from my new camera on FB if anyone wants a peek.

    Thanks Dreams. Apart from the trip to Dumbarton Castle when the heavens opened we had great weather.

    Glad it wasn't serious Katie. Did the dentist tell you to try Sensodyne toothpaste? I know a few peeps who use it.
