The development of this website has not progressed as quickly as I would like as I have had three days out of the office this week. One day was to visit my brother to do some technical work on a joint website, the second was for a fishing trip on our shared boat with my son whilst the third was work proper when I visited the Quarterly Fine Sale at Hampton and Littlewood auctioneersat Exeter.
