Listers......what can I say.....I've been overwhelmed with words of support, far too many to respond to individually........so please accept my thanks to you all.....your a great bunch!
As I said I don't intend to 'hang up my files & torch'......infact I hope I will still be doing frames even after I retire!! I am in talks with my good friend and former boss Steve Woodrup.....we'll just have to wait and see what happens?
But meanwhile once again thanks....I really appreciate it
