Thank you for your wonderful replies, it did clear a lot of questions!! I do immensely appreciate it!!
One thing that did struck me in your reply is- WE COULD HAVE HAD GALE?!!?? (insert several dramatic crying emojis) Thank you SweetChiel, this information will haunt me forever in my sleep at the fact we never got it/j
Another reason to follow your new project closely and support it as best as I can to make sure such a tragedy never happens again pfff!!
