At this rate the outer bush of healthy growth will have completely swamped the bit in the middle that we are interested in, and we won't know whether this whole project has been a success or not!

As a member of Surrey Club I deny all knowledge of this!

PS A burning question that I have is could you let us know if Pinto is all sewn up in his nether regions unlike the sheep?
