'So it is Christmas ...'

At the risk of introducing a degree of soppy sentimentality into an otherwise sober forum , may I say ...
It has been an extraordinary Ford year for me! When it began I had no Fords, and no plans to acquire any. Passing time on Ebay is always dangerous, and so it was for me; setting off a roller-coaster ride that saw me acquire two RS's, both in need of restoration, one more than the other.
There have been elations and very great disappointments. My acquisitions have led me through very poor and then the best of human behaviour. But at the low's, I found people and made friends who have gone out of their way to help me through (You know who your are Nev).
In this place there are so many of you who have given me help and guidance and simple encouragement; and for that I am greatful.
I am about to head off for a lengthy break, and I didn't want to leave without wishing all of you the best for Christmas and New Year.
See you all next year; when hopefully there will be two nicely restored RS's returning to the road.
