Ton...Thanks, Susan, Helen, Toni, Marie and Harvey!<br /><br />Toni, I have a friend who lives in Selwyn St, on the flat (western) side of the Valley.

So I sympathise!Tim Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14856414700019368658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3264914780516321436.post-74263682185275108092010-10-19T14:01:34.190+13:002010-10-19T14:01:34.190+13:00Tim
