Ah that's very kind of you Gerry. It will probably take me another 6 months to work out how to post a photo !

To Hayley, Anastasia, Cormac and Conor, thank you for accepting my paper and for organising such a brilliant conference. From Monica McWilliams to the Tet Offensive to an isolated bog in West Sligo and everything in between, you covered it all. Congratulations and well done !
