Our site counter is set to unique hits only but we know it has become a bit of 'cult' with even judges viewing to see what we have to say about them.
However many thanks to Anne Moynagh who wrote in our guest book
"great site it made me laugh and cry may the lady and the lord send you many blessing blessed be"
which we think sums it up nicely!
