Ah yes, Charlie - those nights at John and Dale's, of dinner, lots of wine (John is a bit of a connoisseur of a good red) and songs! Been there and done that quite a few times. In fact, last year, Dale and I and a couple of other women were practising songs for Gulgong Festival - we called ourselves the WWW's (Wild Wise Women, not the World Wide Web) so visits to the Dengates' place were a weekly event. However I'm not going to Gulgong this year - the Roaring Forties are on at Woodford, so I'll be going there.

But I can feel a dinner coming on soon - it's been a few months - a balmy night such as tonight sipping on a pre-dinner drink out the back near the frangipani tree sounds very inviting! Must give those nice people a call.......... :-)
