We are sorry, but this section is proving difficult
We have not added anything to this section since last December, and apologise to all who look regularly. Although we have items sorted and ready to be listed, we just do not have the time. Each day, we spend all of our time dealing with email and telephone requests, leaving no time to work on the website.

Any suggestions?
