How did you know where to begin? <BR/><BR/>Please let gracious Mr John Cahill know that you've some friends who wish to help you sort through and organize the lot in exchange for a "few" cones.<BR/><BR/>First glance of the shed and I thought of the huge box trailer, where I worked once upon a time, that is filled to the brim with chocolate covered hazelnuts of all flavours. It's no coincidence that some of the best finds in life are stored in ugly recepticles. :-)Fiberjoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01842973381007192689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30877720.post-1160523176802798622006-10-11T00:32:00.000+01:002006-10-11T00:32:00.000+01:00Very impressive, and you got Blogger to accept all...Very impressive, and you got Blogger to accept all those great photos.

Would a bottle of fine Irish brew - something to die for - entice the man to show you the shed again. I can say, if you fall in love with John Cahill, that he is easy on the eyes and easily persuaded to part with any number of fibrey goodies!
