Hello folks, The pictures indicate a healthy and flourishing partnership. It's interesting that in the time the two of you have been together I have been divorced twice. So, if advice were ever proffered, I'd be inclined to take it. I just hope that you're not still living on a diet of baked beans! I'm living in Cambridgeshire, still playing solo and still getting over to Yorkshire a couple of times a year - the North East visits being less frequent. I got married again (see!!) but I'm fairly happy now. Good to see that you're still playing. It would be good to meet up again sometime. Keep in touch. Luv Phil
