If I'd had my way Berni  you would have been honoured by the Queen, but she didn't oblige, how dare she

 Willow you are an amazing chap and we are so very lucky to have you as a friend.  However, I am nothing special only someone trying to help others as best I/we can and without people like you we would find it very difficult indeed, so the superstars are all our sponsors, helpers and volunteers.    so much for always being there for us no matter what
