Thanks very kind of you TE and good to see you here again. The problem about losing a long standing pet (16+ years in this case) is that their loss sometimes throws up other griefs too. In retrospect I was sorry to miss the Avebury gathering and went for a therapeutic walk around Avebury later in the week - taking in WKLB and part of the Ridgeway. It was one of those lovely elemental 'Avebury' days - I felt very much better afterwards.
