I'll head West...

When my air race comes back!! Mighty peeved that it's been postponed for another year :-(

Though I dare say I'll make it over there for other reasons as well, there's a few pearl outfits up north, and some other intersting places to visit, though I have to wait for my wife to forget that it's a 4 hour flight ;-)

How very apt...

...for your hospitality and a grand evening indeed. It was great to catch up with those I've met, to meet those I'd not yet had the pleasure of meeting in the flesh. I had a lot of fun, hope to see you all again sooner rather than later, either in Melbour...

Made even more special for the meeting of Aptronym for the first time! I think I may have taken a few more timepieces than I really "needed" to, though all were enjoyed ;-) It was also notable for the introduction of another "tweep" who had no knowledge o... 

I think you brought along the most timepieces...

Thanks Andrew for Sharing .
