Yes Ivan (on both sides of the channel) and it sounds like we will be meeting you at the ferry terminal at Dover unless you guys get in early enough and fancy a pint! I'll be staying 20 mins away.

I'll join you on the ferry across to France if that's ok? We're getting the Rosslaire boat across on the Saturday .. 9am slow boat but it gets us in around 12:30.

Well done on pulling all this together.
