Thank You

This page is dedicated to all those who have so kindly helped in any way that they can. From donations of items to hand out to the needy in Africa to the assistance of works completed upon our car. From support via companies supplying goods or services and of course those who so kindly have donated some of their hard earned cash to support a chosen charity. The list can go on, a bit like myself.

But to all of you from Bob and Andy, Mr Dusty and Mr Crusty thank you all for your kind support. Thank you.
