I'm genuinely sorry to hear of the death of Mark Pedley. I only ‘knew’ him through your videos but he always seemed like a thoroughly decent bloke.

Excellent video as usual and makes one realise just how much work is going on behind the scenes.

Host talks too quickly and the clapping and rubbing hands is distracting. Hope that is helpful. Good video report, thanks.
