Sorry - just spied the Julie. Bit of a give away really. It's passed my bedtime.Go one - one day have a go on blades. (Near the beginning of your holiday, just in case it works for you like it did for me.) I'm no spring chicken either, but I am determined to grow old more disgracefully than my galivanting Mother!
