And how fitting for a 600th post - it is about booze!!

And what are chances of something like that happening? Weird, huh?

In a DR kind of way.

Wonderful to meet you in the flesh and Mr Matilda too who we thank greatly for the beautiful carvings. So glad so many people gave their time to come and visit us on Sunday. Hope you enjoy the lamb too (the eating one I mean of course, not Archie!!)

Its Archie btw, not Alfie, but he is not offended!!! No, they are African sheep so tend to be hairy, not woolly, so shearing not necessary.

Sorry whirley, multi tasking again (at work)
Alfie is actually the name of our pet hamster (no jokes please)
I really didn't mean to diss Archie.

Whirley's get together was so successful, she should do it every year.
Then we'd be sure to see our South coast friends, at least once a year.
What do y'all think?
You would come, wouldn't you, Matilda?
