        Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

            Just to let you know well in advance there is under very rare occasions Chris a triple Dogs award !!!!.
            The committee were over heard in discussion only the other day .

            What interests me is what are you going to do when this great build is completed ?

            Of course there is tea blending to consider along with the master tea makers certificate.

            Beautiful work indeed .
