Hello good folks near and far.   Maybe I can be allowed to be rather novel here.  Actually it would be wonderful to have some of our (it's just me now!) beloved furry friends, who are now sadly no more, around my table.  Those along with my wife and for sure would be marvellous and to have many that appear in my family tree also; what a crowd that would make, what discussions we would have!   Warm regards and seasonal greetings to Kent listers.   Michael    in cool and dreary Essex, UK
