Didn't I tell you Ray that I was going to set my alarm to give you an early morning call. Luckily, I was wearing my ear plugs so didn't hear a thing until the lynch party showed up.

The rain wasn't too bad, mostly, just mist and drizzle. Didn't stop us drinking.

Perhaps we should form a seperate branch of the club, the Pipe and slippers MCC for those who don't like to get wet, don't like rowdy crowds and loud music.

Had a great weekend. Spent too much, drank too much and talked too much, so situation normal.

Binky, decided to have a lie down after a busy night of waking people up and with a long journey ahead of her. So she threw me off and lay down in the mud by the gate. Stretcher Monkey and Paul, finally came to my assistance outside, once they had finished wetting themselves. Glad both of them had packed away their cameras.

Very, Very windy all the way back. Lots of snaking across the motorway. Felt like I was running on flat tyres. No control. The wind was so strong, it blew some poor girls backpack off!!! Lots of stops and coffees later, I'm home. 624 mile round trip and worth every minute of it. Nice to see you all again. I'll make sure I sort the alarm out for next time!!!
