Miller ‘Star’ Testimonials

My humble thanks! To start on a really positive note, I have had some fantastic feedback about the Star, my proudly first ‘product’! I humbly accept their praise and encouragement, as a good deal of work (and money) gets sunk into such projects. This sort of praise makes it all worthwhile, when you know that…


The Waiting Game
