HI All and Happy New Year

Hi Kevin - looks like a Herring Gull to me - needs some blue sky though imo (unless you've spent too much time in the studio on high-key sets that is!!). No definitive news on that date yet, but will be chasing things up tomorrow!

Nice and sharp, but lacks colour and interest for me. Due almost entirely to the washed out sky. A bit of blue and a cloud or two and it would be a different story. Only the Guy upstairs can help with that and we have to make do with what he gives us unfortunately.
