Thanks Jerry, I'll fortify the hen house!

I agree. Getting people together for any group activity seems to be fraught with difficulty these days! I suppose we should be glad that we all have such busy lives!

I think there is merit in always having the event (whatever it is) as a set occasion...e.g. the first Sunday of the month. Then everyone knows that's the occasion. They still forget of course!

Had a lovely walk by the sea and through the woods today. The leaves haven't started to change yet and the sun was shining. That's set us up for the week.

Ready for a coffee though!

...and pass the duster!

Best wishes,

Peter
