 Subject: Re: A Wind Turbine Recipe Book

 To: jytte- I recieved the book yesterday and when it arrived I thought ‘this isn’t worth £12’. - But how wrong I was once I’d opened the envelope and settled down to read the contents with a cup of coffee. 3 hours later the coffee was stone cold and I was still reading the book. - Loads of info to be getting on with. - I’ll email Hugh when my terbine is up and running with some pics. - Thanks a lot. - Michael.
