Dear Narelle, In a month or so, I may have some bit to add to your question. I am just home from a month in Ireland and have hundreds of bits to assemble. When I do, I will post them to my site, but will also notify this list for the ones pertinent to Cavan. I made JACKSON a special focus this time round - although I ran out of time for what I wanted to run to ground. It isn't so much that there is a brick wall blocking my next steps as that there are not enough hours in the day.
