Starting to Pack Many Meetings

Tuesday 11^th October, 2011

After the “Small Breakfast” at the Black’s Head – phew, glad we hadn’t gone for the “Big Breakfast”! – we spent the day loading stuff on to MM from the car and from Primrose. Simon, Jon and Darren worked on some of the outstanding items.

In the evening we took the Kingsground crew out to dinner at the Horse and Groom. Richard came but Tiffany felt too emotional to come. We missed her and wished she had been with us but were pleased to hear subsequently that the landlord of the Horse and Groom had sent a supper of seabass home for her with Richard!  We were amused (and pleased) to see that all three “Richards”, i.e. Richard the First (Haynes), Richard the Second (Needham) and Richard the Third (Cooke) were all present!  It was lovely to see that Simon, Jon and Darren were all present too.   Jon announced that he was taking our gift of a bottle of the “pink’un” on holiday to Sicily with his girlfriend next week!  The food at the Horse and Groom was absolutely first-class and the landlord looked after us very well indeed. It was very nice to spend time with “The Lads” and to get to know them a little better out of their work environment.  It was a lovely evening, again we didn’t want it to end, but it was compensated for by going back to Enslow and sleeping on MM for the first time.
