Thanks lass.
I could have done with you coming round with me, it would have made it a bit easier at times with someone to talk to and take my mind off it. lol
The scenery is stunning, the village is gorgeous, and the folk are very friendly. I've fallen in love with the place and since it's less than a 2 hour drive from here I will definitely be going back.
I'm going to get one of the photos enlarged and have it framed with the certificate underneath it just to remind me of the day, and to remind me that even a big dopey bugga like me can do things if they really put their everything into it.
