DAVID

Arrived home from a great 3 day break in Peasemarsh. The hotel was fine and the walks arranged for us were very varied, enjoyable and all were interesting in many ways. It was good to be with friends and to catch up with those that there isn't always time to do so at the monthly meetings. We can always be sure of plenty of good laughs and banter. So thank you Mike for a LOT of hard preparation, to John for finding the hotel, to Ian and Caryl for getting our brains working in the quizzes and to Charmian for driving us there and back. Now back to reality! The suitcase is unpacked and the washing is on. Ken and Chris.
