WITH A COUGH AND A SPLUTTER WE ARE READY FOR THE ROAD

THankfully I'm recovering quite well and have had two reasonable nights sleep. I've been no further than Knutsford to the bank and the village shop to drop off the post. We had two batches to go to ensure everything that could be had been sent off before we leave tomorrow and drive down to Hampshire where I understand my sister has also had a chest infection, must be a genetic thing - cold always end up on my chest. Anyway I also phoned through to John Bishop in Hailsham where he and Maureen are now established if not settled in their new home, we will see them next Wednesday and have a catch up before the sad formalities of my aunt's funeral at Eastbourne Crem on Thursday morning. An unplanned diversion and extension to the trip but it does save driving down twice in wintry weather although I hear the Christmas day temperature may be record breaking.

Whatever you are doing over Christmas Mandy and myself wish you the very best for the coming days and New Year. It has been a pleasure to share our hobby and time with our vast expending group of friends, relations and customers spread so far across our planet. Our travels always bring with them adventures and tales to be told and hopefully lots of film which we can share now and keep for posterity. Already the PMP archive if regularly used for television and film productions together with news bullitins. The range of material grows wider as we introduce social and industrial material into the DVD  offerings.

I had to scrap plans for the Youtube Christmas message due to my cold but hoping to do it for the New Year. We shall be back in action a week today when normal service will be resumed. All our shops remain open , our own on this site, EBay and Amazon. I think people realise that delays are inevitable over the holiday period. I'm hoping to put one last tranche of the 16mm cine films on Ebay this evening, a few more left after that but the floor space in the PMP office is at last clear. Lots of plans emerging for the new year. What can I give you this evening, how about links to the M6 films taken yesterday just a half mile from home.
