Re: sinclair-digest V2 #206
Dear All
London is filling up, the skirl of the pipes is faint but growing louder,
the coaches have been serviced and the fatted calf prepared. Tomorrow we set
forth in earnest and the baby that has been in gestation for three years
will be born.
Thank you all for your kind wishes and you never know, we might even do
another in years to come. There will be regular updates on the web.
Malcolm Caithness
