I like particularly the group of Sudanese freedom fighters attacking the colonialist Burnaby. Incidentally there is a monument to Fred in the grounds of Birmingham's St. Philip's Cathedral. I walked passed it just yesterday on the way to lunch with my youngest daughter.The Dancing Cake Tinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05942718929841617253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1670400813396652991.post-46954980188599062872015-03-04T08:12:02.164+00:002015-03-04T08:12:02.164+00:00Hello Michael,

I hope that workers will have done their work soon and peace will come back to Awdry Towers soon.<br /><br />But your work on Burnaby and the other fellows is excellent despite the lack of time.
