Great blitz so far, Michael. Eccles cakes in Canada? that is a surprise and I hope you enjoyed them. Eccles, where the cakes originated, is a town near to Manchester in the north of England and the cakes are well known throughout Great Britain and it's good to see them being made available in North America. Safeway did indeed originate in the U.S.
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.
