Many thanks for posting that item, Rob on the hill.  :)

I've taken the opportunity to link it to our Coffee Shop calendar.

My father will be there on Saturday evening, trying out his new camera: I'll see if I can post any of his photos here.

Unfortunately, the weather was so ghastly on Saturday evening (wind, rain and hail) that most of the outdoor displays were disrupted and my father wasn't able to get more than just a few 'indoors' shots:
