	The 'daft woman' I mentioned has redeemed herself now she is commentating on her area of expertise. I am somewhat diverted though by her and Huw doing the serious stuff and the other guy whoever he is trying to get a word in and failing rather miserably :-D I didn't like the rendition of 'Abide with me', which is a shame as it's a cracking bit of music when done with a bit of 'oomph' :-D

	I think, all in all, a success qnd a credit to all who took aprt, especially the large numbers of children. To all those who think it was rubbish imagine your children or grandchildren taking part and them hearing you tell them they were rubbish. Just saying, thats all. Wish id been there to see it :-D

	I was really impressed with the raising of the chimneys and the 'forging' of the rings, imagine the technicalities of doing that,and it working! But I think the night has to go to the Queen parachuting in at her age.... :-D
