Fortunately some very kind people do all the hard work running and maintaining the server now, so I can just swan in when I feel like it and enjoy a bit of a natter.

Welcome Dan.

I've heard that if you fill a room with spiders, eventually you'll end up with one enormous fat spider.

Great photos!

Sounds nice!
