Well, here we are then - looks like Jeff and me, John and Simon.

The beer is ready (I tested a pint last night, spot on, it's drinking very nicely) but I've told the landlady not to expect too many folkies.

You will remember I was doubtful whether this would be a good date, and was hlaf minded (until persuaded otherwise) not to have a December one. Looks like I might have been right.

Unless I hear otherwise, I will make up no beds.
