Hello Kyoto

Welcome back and I hope the family, and particularly the baby,
is well.

Are you just 'passing through' i.e. you are in transit
or have you 'landed' here again for a while? I am sure
others have felt your absence too, as the place has not
been quite the same while you were away!

All good wishes.

Wow, thanks Midknight. Yes, I'm slowly re-emerging from my baby-induced hibernation :-) I can see my time is going to be more limited than before for a while so I'll have to see how things go as far as posting is concerned. I think there are only about five people who read this thread so I've probably not been that missed ;-)

Kyoto - Wecome back. There may not be a host of posters on this thread, but it gets
plenty of views. Mostly people looking your updates, probably. ;)

Thanks Greystone - but don't sell yourself short - I'm sure they're here to read your excellent headers! :-)
