Here's the draft. I've taken a different approach to John, combining the "theme strains" in a different way, according to my current prejudice that some variation sets were written down without the "ground" on the front. (Bobby Shaftoe in Clough MSS is like this and Clough says so: I believe Peacock's Felton Lonnen is also, although I don't want to bring that into this discussion since Matt & I have already had one lively episode over it earlier this year). I've chosen to use both of the possible bar 2 patterns, one as an A strain, one as a B. Contradicts what I said earlier, but that's what it wanted to do.

Likewise with mine. With the three (Matt's, John's and mine) in front of me, I'd now settle down and play them - if it wasn't 6am. Later I'll combine the bits I like from all three and come up with a revision sometime - if I wasn't due out to Edinburgh in an hour or so.
