Lovely to catch up with everyone again and to meet Dawn and the girls. Hope to see you all again in two weeks. Liana had a really great time and she thought that you were all really lovely.

The guy I bought the Corrado off arrived after most of you left, armed with an extra bit for my Barney. He had got wind of our meets We are becoming infamous it would seem I'll invite him along next time. Dave has a rather fast, bright red Nissan Pulsar. Woo and indeed hoo!

you were so slow on the way back Emma!

I had to keep slowing down, and when we got to the 50mph and 40mph bits on the A610 I actually did 50 and then 40 because I thought you'd got lost and that the car following me might be a traffic cop!

That is so funny. I slowed down because I saw you slow down and thought that that was a traffic cop too. Damn! I didn't go too fast, ie our 'usual' speed because of having Liana in the car. I'm sure she would not have minded, but I didn't want to push it.

God to see a a few faces I've sen before and some new ones. The meal was bloody good, if I'd known pudding was included I'd have held back a bit on the roast.

Tom if your coming up Retford way at anytime drop me a line & I'll see if I can sort out some rough shooting with Rob but that may have to wait until harvesting has finished.

Ruff shooting is that?
Aren't they protected?

Maybe Rough shooting means something else?

Hi Emma,
It was lovely to meet you too at last. Liana was so sweet. I do wish her well with her studies.
I really enjoyed myself. I did enjoy talking to Warrens wife as we had a lot in common.
I do hope to meet you again, but it wont be for a while. We are off to Spain on Tuesday. We are all excited for that especially the girls.
Thanks Emma for making me welcome.
hug
Dawn

Liana sends you a big hug and says thank you so much for your good wishes. She thinks that you are a 'really gorgeous woman' too.

Just walking round talking pot shots at whatever flys up or runs away. Doesn't matter whether its pheasants, rabbits or chavs - they're all fair game. As opposed to a driven shoot where you stand around taking gulps from a hipflask waiting for the beaters to do their work.
