Nice to see you both at the meet even if it was just for a short visit, and thanks for bringing the 300 custard creams and chocolate bourbons plus the crisps and beers. Simon won't starve this week

<makes note to buy a spare chair for guests >

It was nice to meet both yourself and Simon...and the pitbull.      Well done for organising it Bob.          Did anyone else turn up  ???

No problems, Jan. I am living on a shoe string at the moment so understand the problems. The trouble with retiring is that the cost of living keeps going up but the income doesn't...I'll probably end up in the workhouse eventually

Shortly after you left Simon, I decided to pack up and come home. I needed to get home before dark as I don't see too well after dark. Glad you managed to fit everything in. I don't know how you manage all that driving without getting too tired. Glad you got home ok.

Penelope was very well behaved and a nice dog. Perhaps training classes might get her out of barking at passers-by. It's just the look of Staffordshire Bull Terriers that frighten people (including me). Other than that she was lovely.

Well I have a funny story to tell about her. On the way home they had closed off some roads and diverted them, and I wanted to get on the M5 home. I pulled up next to a group of police officers and road workers and opened up the window and asked about the roads. A man came up to the car and popped his head in the left window to talk to me. Hmmm big mistake as Penelope was that quiet snuggled up in the car I forgot she was in there and well all of a sudden this loud barking noise scared us both and this dog appeared. We both jumped a mile and I said she ok when you you say hello etc but he decided to step back and give me directions.

Could have done with Penelope when I got my speeding points, Simon. 

She was lovely and quiet when I met her.  And clever enough to wind the window down on your car...she wanted to be included in our meet.  I bet she's a great camping companion.  I wouldn't want to camp without my dog.

Glad to hear you made it home OK...did you make it to Weymouth?
