Sorry I disappeared there for a bit guys. Sure you didn't miss me anyway. What with selling the house, Jodi in Peru for work, sorting out our move and being busy at work and with my magazine, I couldn't commit good time here so didn't log on as I wouldn't get a chance to read all of the new posts...which I've just done.

Welcome to all the new members, hope you're enjoying it here. Now to shut my eyes so they stop working and have a rest!
Welcome back Andy. We missed you.

Hope Jodi brings you back an Inca full if Lima beans!

My Avatar is the memorial to the 22 Commonwealth Coastwatchers at the Temakin Cemetery on Betio (Tarawa Atoll) who were beheaded by the Japanese on 15th October 1942. http://www.dva.gov.au/media/publicat...mem_beito.html

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)
