Dear Andrew and Carole,

I'm afraid we didn't wish Andrew a happy birthday - I've had some of the most awful lergy about and I just couldn't drag myself to Gower. Did you see Phil Tanner's unmarked grave?

In fact, with all of this new flu making the headlines, I'm beginning to suspect that's what has got me. Atishoo! Oink!

Love from Olly and me

Mick

"Bill - I was sort of offended when they offered me a seniors discount at the thrift shop near Wheaton (where I got lost) - now that is another story!"

This is really gonna piss you off Carole.
Tami canme to the last Press Room shanty sing. She had just been carded earlier in the day at some other bar. This was on her 40th birthday. She kept it up & I had to finally shoot her.

Well, Andrew's Bash starts tomorrow. I'm sending over a mystical drink that comes from our local "fountain of youth" but by the time it gets there it'll be to late. Have a great weekend

Sing loud? Oh yes - just try & stop us! Port Eynon will echo with song and music. The photos will be in in focus despite any allusion to the contrary!   As the crow flies Crediton is just 'over by there' as they say 'over by here'(I'll get used to this Welsh way one day) Sloe gin chocolate will be noshed and glasses raised here too. Sorry this weekend clashed with Crediton but every weekend after Easter clashed with one or another folk weekend. I'm certain that our Gower wedding/anniversary/bus pass weekend may find another excuse for a weekend bash here next year too. Watch this space.

Afraid that we are playing for two different teams at two different events on the Saturday and Sunday so we're stuck. Also any spare time is required to be used working on the new house so that there will be somewhere to invite people to in the future!

Very best wishes,

Robin and Anne

On my 60th birthday, Bill, I qualify for a pass giving totally free travel on all local buses. We get a bus here three times a day, which takes over two hours to complete a journey that takes 30 minutes by car, hence the excitement ;-}

I'm sure there will be many photos

I'm not sure any of them will be in focus, however - we are getting several barrels of beer installed

Should be a good 'un

well, a happy B-day to the young fellow! Wish the pond wasn't quite so wide... Take many pictures!

"Bus Pass weekend ." I assume that means a discount on rides?
Here, there start giving some privileges at 55...others at 62. I'm not sure whether I was offended or not when they started offering me "senior discounts" without my asking.

Dear Carole and Andrew,

Have a wonderful time! We've got a full weekend of workshops with Craig Morgan Robson at the Lewes Saturday Folk Club so I'll be having a wonderful time in a different way, but I'll be thinking of you all and looking forward to seeing the pictures.

All the best,

Carole please give Andrew a big squeeze on his box for me, seeing as I can't get there from here myself. I mean't the button thing he carries around in his.
I'll give you a squeeze when I see you both in July. Have a blast

Andrew's Bus Pass weekend is just around the corner - on 24/25/26 April here in Gower. Hopefully many of you will have had invites and further info. Unfortunately my computer has been hit by a virus recently and I've found out that many of my e mails have disappeared into the ether so it may be that some of you have missed out! If you would like to come and havn't had an invite or if you've had an invite but no further info please contact me.
