Good to judge at The Real London again. Thanks to Stephan for the invite. Great atmosphere at this venue. Many thanks to Tyrone for excellent stewarding and safe hands, catching two jumpers! Some mice in my sections were not at their best; many shows this time of year. Clear winner, easily agreed with Lewis on the Self Blue. Congratulations to Stephan and all winners.
