I've penciled those places in my 'to do' list Pixie - thanks....

I love that film. OGF.

One of my all time favourites Tiff. We bought it on DVD and get it out every now and then and watch it again. While we were touring the west coast of Scotland I played a tape of the theme tune 'Going Home' by Mark Knopfler over and over....
