Hi all

VERY sad - the side has decided they wanted to try something new this year so Crouch Vale with Russ and I will be in Hastings for the weekend (first outing with a caravan!...........Oh life with a small person! I thought I'd NEVER leave the big green slug that is our tent......we'll have to carry it around still so that the entire side, most of our mates AND the car can all get parked in there of an evening!.................not to mention that it gave a cosy home to Mr Scarecrow and Russ on one memorable occasion ;-)).

Anyway, say Hi to Upton, it'll be the first time I've missed it for years and years and years - eat lots of Diddy Dans for me. Love to see all of you soon. We'd like to make Fox and Hounds but things are going to be a bit mad shortly 'coz Russ is about to open his own brewery!!!..........more about that later xxxxx

Alie xx
