Not long since back - A gradely do indeed. Lots of kings and queens about and what a fabulous venue.

See you tomorrow all being well. To any one of a number of queens - If you are selling those puppies - I'll have the one with pink nose!

And men - those tights do nothing for you...;-)

Many thanx to all who attended and made it such a memorable week-end, including Noreen, AlanWW, Lynda, Mathew, Dave the Gnome and John & Pam Routledge.

Sing-around just finished as people have long distances to travel home(18.00 GMT).

Sue's just crashed out, but it is nothing to do with the drink!!

See you all at the next gathering.

Many thanks from the Gnome as well - You arranged the weather brilliantly as well, Sue! Outdoor singaround was great and I even managed to get back home on public transport - after being waylaid once or twice but that's another story...;-)

If anyone can tell me where the concetinia playing garden gnome behind the bar at the Ducie came from I would be very grateful. I asked at the bar and the barmaid did not know.

Cheers

I would like to add my thanks to you all too! (I am fully awake today and clearing up the debris!) I had very wisely booked a days leave today, anticipating exhaustion!

We were really thrilled to see you all and delighted that you entered into the fancy dress theme with such enthusiasm!

Looking forward to seeing you soon,

Sue xxxxx

PS the puppies are not for sale, I'm very attached to them!

Many thanks for a memorable night, Sue and Bob, and congratulations on the occasion.

After the ball...

'Twas the week after Easter in Wythenshawe Hall,
Four and twenty kings and queens went to dance at the Ball.

High King Dave came rambling in, and stumbled over a chair,
He tumbled over Anne Boleyn, and her head flew through the air.

Saint George drew his mighty sword, but couldn't find a dragon,
Instead he gored a noble lord, and drank another flagon.

Harold fell down and broke his crown, till it was flat and narrow,
William picked it up and said, "Keep your eye upon that arrow!"

They were dancing in the hall, and drinking in the salon,
And many a glass was raised that night to Bob and Sue van Gaalen.

We cast sorrows away, and danced 'Strip the willow',
Gathered in a circle of friends until heads hit the pillow.
