....Slightly average perhaps but quite a good average. The company is usually excellent though.

The potential problem with going for a top standard of food is the extra expense which will put some folks off coming. But come along and we'll discuss viable alternatives for a future meet.

I already said the company was the best bit.  :wink:

I need to double-check my shift rota, but it should be a goer. Maybe we should come down nearer your direction later in the year when the weather is finer, Robin? Make the others do the long drive for a change! Looking forward to when it won't be dark and photos can be took.

She just had a change of heart after I said the pooches would have to go in a kennel. She then suggested going away in this country, taking them with us. In January!  :stupid:

....That obviously explains why he's saying only a "maybe" to attending the meet - He wants to be sure you're not coming before he commits.

Saw a fox on the way home, but he didn't look in any danger of being shot at sauntering across the road without a care in the world!
