Heading out tomorrow - Will be asking (very nicely, grovelling, almost) Tmac if we can proceed under the Orange button. We can make it for a one day stop-over in Douglas on the Isle of Man so we can "beard" Varley in his own den. (Wonder what he'll look like without all the whiskers??)
Trivia of the day is that there used to be a country hotel up in the Yukon that was run by a Manxman and his wife -- they called the place Ben My Chree.
