Another great set.
Proof that he who hesitates is lost.
I saw this on Lyn's list about 6 months ago but was in two minds.
Oh well
What could have been
Well done

It's such a pleasure to see what's being added to your Trophy Collection and the pleasure I'm sure your having when you come across a set or two or three to add to it. You've got to be like a little kid in a candy store whose struck gold. Once again thanks for sharing them Martyn......Joe
