I'd used the Spunding valve as an indicator of secondary fermentation, dropped the pressure and it didn't rise again, suggesting the yeast had done its stuff.

gassing — Left a few days then started the process of carbonating- not much headspace

Drinking

pint of beer

Now drinking, even better now its back up to the correct serving temp of 12-14ºC (traditional beer cellar), with CO2 pressure adjusted accordingly.
