just recieved message from irish vintage magizine to say they are doing class feature on my 126

A happy New Year to you, and I hope you had a great Christmas.

 

Just to let you know that I’m ready (at last) to get started on the feature on your 126, if that’s still ok with you? If so, I’ll get one of my NI-based writers, Seamus O’Brien, to get in touch with you to start getting info for the story, and once that’s sorted I can arrange for one of our photographers to contact you to arrange meeting up.
