Hey Paul. Now this is really something else. Fantastic & with Summer almost upon us, I wouldn’t mind bottling this one, as I know it would have a lot of use at Christmas because as you know, it’s virtually impossible to find a top spot at the beach any where on the coast then…...Ha!. Cheers mate. Jenny.
