Hi LAM - our posts have crossed (mine previous page). Yes plenty sticks around so I think 33 will be busy :-D Look forward to your updates and any captures you can share. Will pop in as and when I can today :-) Have a great day :-) BFN
Thank you Karen no problem the more captures the better! Can never have enough :-)
