Sadly due a roster change, I didn't make it to the awards night, but will be in London next week. I promise to visit Greenwich and send home some snaps of the exhibition ( they always do a great job)

D'oh just realised I said Aussies in my post. I really meant guys here but neglected to say so. I think of you being an Aussie Rolf, because this being primarily and Aussie forum. Stupid mistake! I should have said Aussies and Kiwis. Please accept my apology. Well done again.

No worries Paul I'm from Denmark but live in NZ and write on an Aussie forum, so I admit it's slightly complicated!
In the end we're all on the Pale Blue Dot anyway.

At the Royal Observatory

I took these happy snaps during a recent trip to London (...a heck of a long walk from my home in "The Shire" )

Oz and NZ were well represented
