Newtown Waxies-46th day!

Miraculous! I was convinced that I was to be denied my latest journey to see the Waxies after so many years and fearing it would be too long until the next , but heyho, I managed to squeeze a slot in yesterday as Sue is recovering nicely. Great to meet up with Meurig for a lovely hour or so and later "Camera Jackson' ( congrats for your pic in the paper!).

    Nice set Kev. It was good to speak in person after so many years as passing strangers.
