Just arrived back in London (jetlagged)following a trip to the Charlton Hall auction in south Carolina.
I met some great people, all of whom were polite enough not to fall asleep during my hour-long prattle about the minutae of British shotgun development. By the time we got to 1880 everyone was in need of a drink so the rest will have to wait until next year.
Just wanted to record a warm 'thank you' to all those who turned up to have a chat, a beer or a coffee, to look at the guns and even buy some.
The welcome I received from the locals will take some beating - people were without fail charming, enthusiastic and fun to be around. I even got to eat grits!
Off to Holt's this evening. No rest for the wicked....
