UK arrivals

Rick and Ellie

Looking forward to seeing you while you are here hope your journey over is comfortable with no delays

Please explain the how that happened!

Poor Warrick, but all things considered he hasn't suffered to badly in the past

Some sort of Chinese maple that has just come into bloom.

The empire expands

Very impressed with the size of the network and I see that you are working your way up the hill.
I remember going to see the derby at Epsom. We parked the car at a friend of John's and walked to the course. The thing that stands out the most were the Gypsys playing 'chase the lady' with very dog eared cards. In those days the derby was run on a wednesday so I guess there was no school for me that day. I would be interested to see the picture that goes with Gill's post but better luck next time, Gill.

You can see here how the network is growing and linking together, I'm working on covering most of the town!

July 4th

Just occurred to me that July 4th has some significance somehow? Let's have a party!

Lewes calling....

Crikey Gill that's at least 36 years ago!! I remember working at Derby Day wearing a funny blue hat with a silver badge but had forgotten about us going there even earlier and seeing Lester Piggott's backside flash past at speed.

Rick, all OK for the flat, I've got another Meraki order being delivered as we speak but may order a few more to be delivered to you and there's a computer/equipment case I'm looking at but will let you know. We are looking forward to your both being here and happy with the standard supper arrangements for Talbot Terrace to run as before, if there's anything you may want to do let me know, see you soon.

ps now have a spare desk in the office!

Gill day at the Races

Had a wonderful corporate day at Epsom yesterday - Ladies Day - you should have seen the hats!

The winner of the hat competition was a beautiful young lady with a wonderful hat and made page 2 of today's (Telegraph) newspaper

As a guest of "Clear View Stables" the champagne and Pimms flowed. Had a tour of the stables which was lucky really because the track was very crowded and we couldn't really see any of the horses from track side although we were right on the fence just short of the finish line.

The bookmaker in the private marquee did a roaring trade although I did manage to make a profit of £3.00 over the whole day - I guess if he knew that he might not have been so happy on his way home in his big car!

Travelled by taxi and train - the whole of Epsom Downs was grid locked and would be even worse today. John, do you remember going there before? Mum and I can remember being there with you but not much else apart from seeing Lester Pigott flying past!
