Thanks Snappy, it was a good couple of hours. Mrs PB's plaster is hopefully off in and hour, and she'll be back to work next week, when I happen to have a week off, so I'll probably head back and make a full trip of it and hopefully get the frits I've not seen yet

It's well worth the visit -It's where I saw my first UK Ringlet that was as fresh as could be and was the richest velvety chocolate brown. Sadly I probably won't get there this year.

Cast off, but she has to wear a splint for a minimum 2 weeks, and no driving with the splint, so at least 2 more weeks off work :unsure:
