Thanks for all the kind comments guys, it really does make it all worth it.
Thanks to everyone that came over to see me at Euro, it did get really busy, so apologies if I didn't get to have a good chat. I had an absolutely fantastic time, I really enjoyed meeting so many people and we had some great WW1 conversations and I think only 3 died of boredom from my constant talking!
Great to meet you too Tommy, the best thing about Euro is putting faces to names, the internet is great but very impersonal, so its fantastic to speak to people in real life.
Planning 2012 already, I think the one thing I missed was someone to help me, I only got 10 minutes in the competition room, so gutted to have missed that. What I saw has inspired me though and the brushes saw more action last night than they have in the last 12 months, although the standard doesn't seem to be keeping pace!
