Jeeez, I never bothered catching the updates on this since you finished Gerry, as I thought the updates were just about the resto / resto questions. Loving you write up and pics of Ninove, really enjoyable read. I'm guessing somewhere in between finishing Gerry and this, you bought yourself a fancy camera ?

Real good read ;)
