So very,very,satifying! I,m absolutely delighted my nose was kept out of the way while Wizard's were at work.
May you all be rewarded, somehow, some day.

How fantastic!  Thank you so much for the photos...absolutely brilliant!   I didn't have a photo of Len Moss :-)

Terribly sad loss of life...all of them.

Brilliant article!  Thank you for the link.... I never realised Aunt Jose actually had a child to Len Moss.  My grandmother (her sister in law from second marriage) used to write to her often from New Zealand and gran never mentioned it to me. 

Cheers
