A small group, but we had a great time. Good food, a drop of the falling down water and terrific company made for a very good evening. We made a new friend, Richard, up from Nantucket, who fit into the group perfectly and renewed acquaintance with Irene, over from the UK for her annual visit.

SINSULL and I kept Irene and Richard company at the rail station while they waited for the Downeaster. There was a lot of laughter - I guess we were drawing attention as one of the staff threatened, with a smile on her face, to put us all in detention.
