    I don't know much about them, but I'm told my mother's side of the family came from Wales, probably in the early 1800's. Of course, Wales gave us Tom Jones, so we should all have appreciation for Wales!

    Welcome to the forum!

    Thanks everyone. What a great welcome 8>)
    I'm sure I'll make it to IN within the next few years. Mrs B loves to shoot too.
    We used to go to the Military ranges in Brecon. She could do a double-tap on the standing man targets in the driving rain - she never missed !! Makes me sad she can't have a little self-loading carbine for around the house 8>)
    cheers everyone.

    I'd like to thank everyone who has taken the trouble to welcome me to this forum. I'd especially like to thank the Ladies and Gentlemen who gave me reputation thanks - I don't actually know what it means but thanks.
    If home is where the heart is, I am begining to wonder if I live on the wrong side of the pond.....
