We are home a bit later than normal but because we took a wrong turning and not because of the travel conditions. Roads were very clear and easy.

I kept trying to post messages here from my phone as Saturday progressed about who attended and the marked absence of volvos, but the posts wouldn't take.

Crowsister was stunning. What a surprise, eh? John Matthews in good form. We 3 held the fort for a few hours on Saturday competing a bit with the CAMRA group conversations. But the group invited us to partake of their buffet which was very kind.

Cari and Clive showed up a few hours in which heated things up some. I sang Coventry Carol to Cari's violin accompaniment. A treat. Then Shona came in and sang Cold are the Arctic Snows. She couldn't stay but returned today.

Had a lovely warm chat with Karen the landlady Saturday evening.

Sunday we had John again, Cari and Clive with Growler and Melodeonboy.

It was good even if thin on the ground.
