@ADThomas_1970 @buitengebieden Well, you’ve done it now…just mailed you a link to our (lovely) daft dog playing football a couple of summers ago, which I hope might raise a smile. You may also recognise the other players, both of whom send their very best wishes.

@ChrisCaselldine @reaktion Such fond memories of the fieldtrips there. It remains one of the most stunning and fascinating places I’ve had the privilege to visit. But of course having the most fantastic guide is a key factor in this too! Thank you so much for those amazing opportunities, Chris!
