Indeed, you are most welcome (and anybody else), bring your scope with you, plenty of room to set up in a reasonably dark sky.

My car is still snowed in. I'm only in Halifax, but cannot make it. Really fed up with this rubbish weather. I will certainly come over as soon as I can. 'tis only probably half an hour to 40 minute drive.
