Great video Simon, and looked like the show was great too, I was away on holiday in Maderia as we go every year at roughly the same time, but one year I will attend…especially now it’s much closer to me, only about 35 min drive for me…👍🏻

HI Simon it were great to catch up & see you all again, wallet took a little beating while we were there I'd promised myself only to buy a couple of items but a filter somehow jumped in my bag, not that I'll get to use it lol. Take care mate & clear skies & hope the missus has forgiven you for waking her up lol.

Brilliant video Simon, really nice touch getting the UKCM meet up in there too, shows what this hobby can do creating communities :) never actually got to meet up so let's sort that at the IAS if you are going? Love the video, thanks for taking the time to show those who couldn't get there the fabulous show it was. Cheers mate.

LOOK AT A L L - T H O S E - T O Y S !!! Hi Simon. Great video. I sure would like to visit the PAS, but, well ... wrong side of the pond. Even though I wasn't there, it felt like I was after watching your video, plus my wallet is jubilant that I didn't go. It was great to see a lot of my KZread friends too; Glenn, Luke 'Dumpy Dalek', Ruzeen, and of course, you. Looks like there were plenty of bargains to be had by all. Clear Skies

Hey Pat, thanks so much for watching mate! If you crossed the pond for a visit to PAS, you would be the main event 😀 Would love to meet you there, or anywhere 👍 At least your wallet didn’t suffer! There were definitely some bargains to be had, watch this space🤫 Clear skies!
That's lovely Simon, thank you for including my book pitch! Would you have any objections if I included a link to the Amazon page here? (not upset if its any sort of issue!)
